Summary CRISPR /Cas systems provide bacteria and archaea with molecular immunity against invading phages foreign plasmids. The class 2 type VI effector Cas13a is an RNA ‐targeting that provides protection phages. Here we report the repurposing of /Cas13a to protect potato plants from a eukaryotic virus, Potato virus Y ( PVY ). Transgenic lines expressing Cas13a/sg (small guide ) constructs showed suppressed accumulation disease symptoms. levels viral resistance correlated expression...

We describe the development and characterization of a mouse human epithelial cell monolayer platform small large intestines, with broad range potential applications including discovery minimally systemic drug candidates. Culture conditions for each intestinal segment were optimized by correlating global gene expression corresponding tissue segment. The monolayers polarized, formed tight junctions, contained diversity lineages. Ion transport phenotypes from proximal distal colon intestine...

The clinical success of the immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) targeting programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) has revolutionized cancer treatment. However, full potential PD-1 blockade therapy remains unrealized, as response rates are still low across many types. Interleukin-2 (IL-2)-based immunotherapies hold promise, they can stimulate robust T expansion and enhance effector function - activities that could synergize potently with blockade. Yet, IL-2 therapies also carry a significant...

A major histopathological feature of Alzheimer's disease is deposits a approximately 4-kDa beta-amyloid peptide derived by proteolytic processing from precursor, the precursor protein (beta-APP). Proteolytic cleavage beta-APP within domain permits secretion amino-terminal portion while concomitantly producing membrane bound 9-kDa carboxyl-terminal fragment. We have characterized site for amino acid sequence analysis product produced recombinant and native expression systems. Recombinant was...

Abstract Despite the success of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) in treating solid tumors, lots patients remain unresponsive to this therapy. Microwave ablation (MWA) stimulates systemic adaptive immunity against tumor cells by releasing antigens. Additionally, IL-21 has demonstrated importance stimulating T-cell effector function. The combination these three therapies—MWA, IL-21, and anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibodies (mAbs)—has yet be explored context cancer treatment. In study, we impact...

Antibody-Drug Conjugates (ADCs) are targeted cancer therapies delivering cytotoxic agents selectively to cells. Despite clinical success across various malignancies, resistance ADC therapy limits long-term efficacy. A key mechanism is inducing immunogenic cell death (ICD), releasing damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) and tumor antigens stimulate an immune response. This provides a rationale for combining ADCs with immunotherapies overcome improve survival rates.AWT020 novel fusion...

AWT020 is bifunctional fusion protein comprised an anti-PD-1 antibody and potency optimized IL-2. Preclinical studies using mouse surrogate demonstrated superior antitumor activity compared either anti-mPD-1 alone or its combination with IL-2 in sensitive resistant models. These findings suggest that...
