Bryers Nature: Gene Therapy volume 25, pages556–567 (2018) ABSTRACT mRNA is increasingly being recognized as a promising alternative to pDNA in gene vaccinations. [...]
Core-shell nanoparticles for targeted and combination antiretroviral activity in gut-homing T cells
Kim Woodrow and colleagues demonstrate a LCNP that has the potential to co-deliver ARVs and mAbs for eradicating HIV reservoirs.
Use of En Face Swept-Source Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography in Identifying Choroidal Flow Voids in 3 Patients With Birdshot Chorioretinopathy
Ruikang Wang and colleagues demonstrate that swept-source OCTA may represent a new and noninvasive method for detecting and monitoring disease activity in BSCR.
Human embryonic stem cell–derived cardiomyocytes restore function in infarcted hearts of non-human primates
Charles Murry and colleagues demonstrate that remuscularization of the infarcted macaque heart with human myocardium provides durable improvement in left ventricular function.
Cationic polymers for non-viral gene delivery to human T cells
Suzie Pun and colleagues We demonstrate transfection of both CD4+ and CD8+ primary human T cells with messenger RNA and plasmid DNA at efficiencies up to 25 and 18%, respectively, with similarly high viability.
A Carboxylate to Amide Substitution That Switches Protein Folds
Valerie Daggett and colleagues performed a comparative molecular dynamics study on the denatured states of two proteins, sharing nearly identical amino?acid sequences (88?%) but different topologies, namely an all?a?helical bundle protein named GA88 and an a+B?protein named GB88.
