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.

FDA Grants Accelerated Approval to Asciminib for Adult Patients With Newly Diagnosed Ph+ CML-CP

[Pharmacy Times] The FDA granted an accelerated approval to asciminib for adult patients with newly diagnosed Philadelphia chromosome-positive chronic myeloid leukemia in chronic phase.

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...

Contemporary Concise Review 2023: Interstitial Lung Disease

Crosstalk between vascular endothelial cells and fibroblasts in Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis mediated by bone morphogenic protein signalling may be important for remodeling of the lung. A novel modality for monitoring...

MCT1 Inhibition Reprograms Treg Metabolism via ABC Transporters: Implications for Tumor Immunity and the Prognosis of Acute Myeloid Leukemia Patients

[European Journal of Medical Research] Researchers investigated how monocarboxylate transporters (MCT) 1 inhibition modulates Treg metabolism and function, and the potential implications for tumor immunotherapy.

Hyaluronic Acid-CD44 Signaling Defines Therapeutic Resistance and Immunosuppressive Microenvironment in Peritoneal Metastasis of Gastric Cancer

[Journal for Immunotherapy of Cancer] In both patient-derived samples and mouse models, CD44 blockade reduces Treg abundance, restores cytotoxic T cell activity, and enhances the therapeutic response to anti-PD-1 treatment.

T-Bet Tissue-Resident Regulatory T Cells Are Enriched in the Neonatal Mouse Liver and Promoted by IL-27 and IFN-γ

[FEBS Journal] Scientists conducted single-cell transcriptomic and immunophenotypic analyses of liver- and spleen-derived Tregs from neonatal and adult mice.
