The clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats-associated protein 9 (CRISPR/Cas9) system is a powerful tool for editing plant genomes. Efficient genome of grape (Vitis vinifera) suspension cells using the type II CRISPR/Cas9 has been demonstrated; however, it not established whether this can be applied to get biallelic mutations in first generation grape. In current study, we designed four guide RNAs VvWRKY52 transcription factor gene with system, and obtained transgenic...

For the past decade, cancer genomic studies have focused on mutations leading to splice-site disruption, overlooking those having splice-creating potential. Here, we applied a bioinformatic tool, MiSplice, for large-scale discovery of splice-site-creating (SCMs) across 8,656 TCGA tumors. We report 1,964 originally mis-annotated clear evidence creating alternative splice junctions. TP53 and GATA3 26 18 SCMs, respectively, ATRX has 5 from lower-grade gliomas. Mutations in 11 genes, including...

Photothermal therapy (PTT) is a promising non-invasive treatment that has shown great potential in eliminating tumors. It not only induces apoptosis of cancer cells but also triggers immunogenic cell death (ICD) which could activate the immune system against cancer. However, immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TIME) poses challenge to triggering strong responses with single treatment, thus limiting therapeutic effect immunotherapy. In this study, dual-targeted nano delivery (GOx@FeNPs)...
