Leber congenital amaurosis (LCA), one of the leading causes childhood-onset blindness, is caused by autosomal recessive mutations in several genes including RPE65. In this study, we performed CRISPR-Cas9-mediated therapeutic correction a disease-associated nonsense mutation Rpe65 rd12 mice, model human LCA. Subretinal injection adeno-associated virus carrying CRISPR-Cas9 and donor DNA resulted >1% homology-directed repair ~1.6% deletion pathogenic stop codon retinal pigment epithelial...

There have been controversies in prognostic impact of mucinous histology on colorectal cancer, and its implication patients treated with adjuvant 5-fluorouracil, leucovorin, oxaliplatin (FOLFOX) is unclear. Stage II III cancer who underwent curative resection followed by FOLFOX were included. Patients grouped according to the content: >50%, adenocarcinoma (MAC); <50%, intermediated component (AIM); without any component, non-MAC (NMA). Clinicopathological features disease-free survival (DFS)...

Catalytic chemical vapour deposition (CCVD) is currently the most promising technique to produce carbon nanotubes (CNTs) on a specific site as well large-scale. Here, we review our recent experimental studies CNTs grown by CCVD. The yield structural characteristics of can strongly be affected choice catalyst support. In particular, CaCO3 found an excellent support material which actively contributes CNT growth. Our systematic study elastic measurements multi-walled CCVD indicates that...

Pigs are an attractive animal model to study the progression of cancer because their anatomical and physiological similarities human. However, use pig models for research has been limited by availability genetically engineered pigs which can recapitulate human progression. Utilizing genome editing technologies such as CRISPR/Cas9 system allows us generate at a higher efficiency. In this study, specific systems were used target RUNX3, known tumour suppressor gene, that induce gastric in...
