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

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. Ho

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

Efficient and precise delivery of CRISPR/Cas9 components remains one of the critical challenges toward the advancement of gene-editing therapies. Here, we have developed a high-throughput Barcode-Integration Nanoparticle Screen (BINS) method to evaluate a library of 96 lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) for their delivery efficiency across  in vitro  and  in vivo  models.  

This paper contributes to the field of RNA vaccinology, specifically addressing a key challenge in self-amplifying RNA (saRNA) vaccine development. While saRNA vaccines offer advantages over conventional mRNA platforms by providing longer-lasting protection at lower doses, they also trigger undesirable side effects at protective doses. These side effects stem from excessive innate immune activation driven by double-stranded RNA intermediates generated during self-replication.

This study by Nguyen and colleagues advances the field of veterinary vaccinology, specifically targeting African swine fever virus (ASFV), a highly contagious pathogen responsible for catastrophic losses in global swine populations. ASFV’s complex structure and antigenic diversity have hindered vaccine development, with prior efforts focusing on subunit vaccines targeting immunodominant proteins like p54, a structural antigen critical for viral entry and immune evasion. The p
