Vision of Life's Code: Molecular Probe Nanoarchitectonics for Deep RNA/DNA Illumination.

Visualization of RNA and DNA provides a window of opportunity for the early detection of multiple diseases and approaches to manipulate them before any pathological processes occur. However, current imaging systems often fail to meet these demands due to the need for multiple RNA and DNA chemical probes, which increases experimental complexity, reduces awareness of false positives, and limits imaging accuracy in complex biosystems. In this work, we identify the key challenges associated with using multiple probes for RNA and DNA imaging and analyze the mechanisms and performance of existing im

Control of Breast Cancer Pathogenesis by Histone Methylation and the Hairless Histone Demethylase.

Breast cancer is a highly heterogeneous disease, encompassing many subtypes that have distinct origins, behaviors, and prognoses. Although traditionally seen as a genetic disease, breast cancer is now also known to involve epigenetic abnormalities. Epigenetic regulators, such as DNA methyltransferases and histone-modifying enzymes, play essential roles in gene regulation and cancer development. Dysregulation of epigenetic regulator activity has been causally linked with breast cancer pathogenesis. Hairless (HR) encodes a 130-kDa transcription factor that is essential for development and tissue

Enhancement of Neuroblastoma NK-Cell-Mediated Lysis through NF-kB p65 Subunit-Induced Expression of FAS and PVR, the Loss of Which Is Associated with Poor Patient Outcome.

High-risk neuroblastoma (NB) is a rare childhood cancer whose aggressiveness is due to a variety of chromosomal genetic aberrations, including those conferring immune evasion. Indeed, NB cells adopt several molecular strategies to evade recognition by the immune system, including the downregulation of ligands for NK-cell-activating receptors. To date, while molecular strategies aimed at enhancing the expression of ligands for NKG2D- and DNAM-1-activating receptors have been explored, no evidence has been reported on the immunomodulatory mechanisms acting on the expression of death receptors su

Design specifications for biomedical virtual twins in engineered adoptive cellular immunotherapies.

In (immune)oncology, virtual twins (VTs) offer patient-individual decision support. Nevertheless, current VTs do not incorporate the unique properties of engineered adoptive cellular immunotherapies (eACIs). Here, we outline the minimal design specifications for VTs for engineered ACIs (eACI-VTs) to model the complex interplay between cell product and patient physiology. We motivate utilizing VTs in eACIs to provide decision support and reflect on how eACI-VTs can support the widespread use of eACIs.
