African swine fever virus (ASFV) is a large, structurally complex double-stranded DNA virus with a 180–190 kbp genome encoding over 150 genes. It causes African swine fever (ASF) with mortality rates reaching 90–100% and has become a major threat to global pig production. The virus spread from sub-Saharan Africa to Eurasia after 2007 and was detected in the Dominican Republic and Haiti in 2021, marking the emergence of the Eurasian pandemic genotype in the Western Hemisphere.

Feline coronaviruses (FCoVs) exist primarily as two serotypes: Serotype-1 (FCoV1) and Serotype-2 (FCoV2). FCoV1 is more prevalent but difficult to culture than FCoV2, though both can mutate into the lethal Feline Infectious Peritonitis Virus (FIPV). The study addresses the lack of effective vaccines that cross-protect against FCoV1, as current commercial options are based on the easier to culture FCoV2. By leveraging comparative virology, the authors explore a "minimized" pan

This research falls under the broader scientific discipline of molecular biology and cancer therapeutics, specifically within RNA-guided genome editing and precision oncology. CRISPR-Cas13d systems represent a powerful class of RNA-targeting tools that can precisely edit target transcripts with minimal off-target effects. However, their clinical development faces significant challenges. One of these is the limited biostability of conventional linear guide RNAs (lgRNAs) suscep

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) represents the second leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide, claiming over 700,000 lives annually. The liver's central role in blood filtration and metabolism makes it an attractive target for drug delivery, with lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) showing particular promise due to their natural hepatic tropism. However, LNP efficacy becomes compromised in HCC environments due to inadequate understanding of liver physiology under cancerous

Maternally derived antibodies serve as crucial early-life protection for piglets against infectious diseases, including swine influenza A virus (SwIAV). However, these same protective antibodies create significant challenges for vaccination programs by interfering with vaccine-induced immune responses, thereby reducing vaccine effectiveness. This interference has been well-documented with whole inactivated virus (WIV) vaccines against SwIAV, creating an urgent need for innova

This research falls within the rapidly evolving field of cancer immunotherapy and nanomedicine, specifically focusing on cytokine-based therapeutic approaches. The study addresses a critical challenge in IL-12 cytokine therapy - the immunosuppressive feedback mechanisms that limit its therapeutic efficacy1. IL-12 has demonstrated potent antitumor activity in preclinical models by promoting T helper type 1 (TH1) differentiation and enhancing cytotoxic T lymphocyte activity.

Schematic to explain a dual nanocarrier strategy for enhancing PDAC Tumor Immunity. The schematic illustrates a dual vaccination strategy, hypothesized to enhance the PDAC tumor immunity cycle by integrating endogenous and exogenous vaccination approaches. This strategy employs two distinct nanocarriers to synergistically reinforce CTL activation against PDAC. Endogenous Vaccination: Chemotherapeutic agents such as irinotecan induce ICD, triggering the release of tumor antige
