Modeling, Optimization, and Comparable Efficacy of T Cell and Hematopoietic Stem Cell Gene Editing for Treating Hyper‐IgM Syndrome

Investigators developed a one‐size‐fits‐all editing strategy for effective T‐cell correction, selection, and depletion and investigated the therapeutic potential of T‐cell and hematopoietic stem/progenitor cell therapies in the hyper‐IgM syndrome mouse model.

The TRACE-Seq Method Tracks Recombination Alleles and Identifies Clonal Reconstitution Dynamics of Gene Targeted Human Hematopoietic Stem Cells

The authors describe Tracking Recombination Alleles in Clonal Engraftment using sequencing (TRACE-Seq), a methodology that utilizes barcoded AAV6 donor template libraries, carrying in-frame silent mutations or semi-randomized nucleotides outside the coding region, to track the in vivo lineage contribution of gene-targeted hematopoietic stem and progenitor cell clones.

EGR1 Is a Gatekeeper of Inflammatory Enhancers in Human Macrophages

Researchers analyzed the molecular determinants of monocytic and macrophagic commitment by profiling the EGR1 transcription factor. EGR1 is essential for monopoiesis and binds enhancers that regulate monocytic developmental genes such as CSF1R.
