Characterization of RNA Editing and Gene Therapy with a Compact CRISPR-Cas13 in the Retina
[Proceedings of The National Academy of Sciences of The United States of America] Investigators reported significant transcriptomic signatures of Cas13bt3 expression in retinal cells and show all-in-one adeno-associated virus gene therapy with Cas13bt3 can effectively silence VEGFA mRNA in human retinal organoids and humanized VEGF transgenic mouse models.

A Mutant BCL11B-N440K Protein Interferes with BCL11A Function During T Lymphocyte and Neuronal Development
[Nature Immunology] Investigators showed that mice harboring the corresponding Bcl11bN440K mutation show the emergence of natural killer/group 1 innate lymphoid cell-like NKp46+ cells in the thymus and reduction in TBR1+ neurons in the neocortex, which were observed with loss of Bcl11a but not Bcl11b.

Self-Assembled Aldehyde Dehydrogenase-Activatable Nano-Prodrug for Cancer Stem Cell-Enriched Tumor Detection and Treatment
[Nature Communications] Scientists reported a self-assembled nano-prodrug composed of aldehyde dehydrogenases activatable photosensitizer and disulfide-linked all-trans retinoic acid for diagnosis and targeted treatment of CSCs enriched tumors.

Polyclonality Overcomes Fitness Barriers in Apc-Driven Tumorigenesis
Investigators combined multicolor lineage tracing with chemical mutagenesis in mice to show that a large proportion of intestinal tumours have a multiancestral origin. Polyclonal tumors retained a structure comprising subclones with...

Survival Outcomes of Apalutamide as a Starting Treatment: Impact in Real-World Patients With Metastatic Hormone Sensitive Prostate Cancer (OASIS)
[Prostate Cancer and Prostatic Diseases] Scientists evaluated the impact of upfront therapy for metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer on outcomes in real-world clinical practice in the United States.
A TBX2-Driven Signaling Switch From Androgen Receptor to Glucocorticoid Receptor Confers Therapeutic Resistance in Prostate Cancer
[Oncogene] Using human prostate cancer and CRPC cell line models, scientists demonstrated that TBX2 downregulated androgen receptor and upregulated glucocorticoid receptor through direct transcriptional regulation.
Radiotherapy-Resistant Prostate Cancer Cells Escape Immune Checkpoint Blockade through the Senescence-Related Ataxia Telangiectasia and Rad3-Related Protein
[Cancer Communications] Scientists identified a subset of prostate cancer cells that exhibited resistance to radiotherapy, characterized by a reduced antigen presentation capability, which enhanced their ability to evade immune detection and resist cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein 4 (CTLA-4) blockade.
