One of the biggest obstacles for use antisense oligonucleotides as antibacterial therapeutics is their limited uptake by bacterial cells without a suitable carrier, especially in multi-drug-resistant bacteria with drug efflux mechanism. Existing vectors, such cell-penetrating peptides, are inefficient and nontargeting, accordingly not ideal carriers. A noncytotoxic tetrahedral DNA nanostructure (TDN) controllable conformation has been developed delivery vehicle oligonucleotides. In this...

Cones are responsible for daylight, central, high acuity and color vision. Three proteins found in human cones, i.e. long-wavelength (L)-, middle-wavelength (M)-, short-wavelength sensitive (S)-opsins, red, green blue recognition, respectively. Human cone monochromacy (BCM) is characterized by functional loss of both L- M-cone opsins due to mutations the OPN1LW/OPN1MW gene cluster on X chromosome. BCM patients, who rely their vision from only S-cones rods, suffer severely reduced visual...
