摘要:Gene delivery has emerged as a groundbreaking technique for altering gene expression, offering new possibilities in treating a vast array of diseases. We report a layer-by-layer elastin-like polypeptide nucleic acid nanoparticle (LENN) system for mRNA delivery as an attractive alternative to viral vectors and lipid nanoparticle (LNP) systems. This study focuses on determining the physical characteristics of LENN bearing mRNA cargo and assessing their biological performance in T24 bladder tumor...

摘要:Phylodynamic analysis has been instrumental in elucidating epidemiological and evolutionary dynamics of pathogens. Bayesian phylodynamics integrates out phylogenetic uncertainty, which is typically substantial in phylodynamic datasets due to limited genetic diversity. Phylodynamic inference does not, however, scale with modern datasets, partly due to difficulties in traversing tree space. Here, we characterize tree space and landscape in phylodynamic inference and assess its impacts on analysi...

摘要:Cellular rejuvenation through transcriptional reprogramming is an exciting approach to counter aging. Using a fibroblast-based model of human cell aging and Perturb-seq screening, we developed a systematic approach to identify single transcription factor (TF) perturbations that promote rejuvenation without dedifferentiation. Overexpressing E2F3 or EZH2, and repressing STAT3 or ZFX, reversed cellular hallmarks of aging- increasing proliferation, proteostasis, and mitochondrial activity, while d...

摘要:The use of oxygen and nitrate as terminal electron acceptors provides organisms with a huge amount of available energy but necessitates methods to detoxify reactive intermediates. The mechanisms of NO and O2 detoxification in many organisms involve flavodiiron proteins (FDPs). Although the proteinaceous ligands that coordinate the diiron active site of these enzymes are well established, its exact coordination environment remains under debate due to conflicting interpretations of crystallograp...

摘要:Sequence-selective dynamic bonds (SSDBs) are ubiquitous in nature and man-made systems as diverse as DNA, proteins, and synthetic sequence-defined oligomers. The specific and dynamic nature of this class of bonds enables encoded linkers to program the self-assembly of a broad range of building blocks. However, the possible collective behavior emerging from multiple SSDBs in programmable self-assembly remains elusive, due to experimental challenges. Here, we analyze the thermodynamic properties...

摘要:We present an alternative approach to conventional small-molecule and antisense strategies for selectively targeting expanded CUG-RNA repeats associated with Myotonic Dystrophy type 1. Our alternatively designed nucleic acid ligands uniquely integrate advantageous features from both existing methods: They are compact (only three units in length), structurally resembling small molecules, yet recognize RNA targets through directional hydrogen-bonding similar to antisense oligonucleotides. Notabl...

摘要:Resource competition strongly shapes microbial community dynamics and functionality. In polysaccharide-degrading communities, primary degraders release hydrolytic enzymes, whereas exploiters consume released products without producing enzyme themselves. We investigate the competitive strategies employed by marine chitin degraders and N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) exploiters, revealing various mechanisms that impact community viability and growth dynamics. In addition to direct competition strat...
