Correction for 'MiR-4458-loaded gelatin nanospheres target COL11A1 for DDR2/SRC signaling pathway inactivation to suppress the progression of estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer' by Jie Liu , , 2022, , 4596-4611, https://doi.org/10.1039/D2BM00543C.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFRNA interference is a promising way to treat cancer and the construction of a stable drug delivery system is critically important for its application. Gelatin nanospheres (GNs) comprise a biodegradable drug vehicle with excellent biocompatibility, but there are limited studies on its delivery and role in the stabilization of miRNA and siRNA. Breast cancer is the most diagnosed type of female cancer worldwide.

An assay for transposase-accessible chromatin using sequencing (ATAC-seq), which uses Tn5 transposase to sequence protein-free binding regions of the genome, can be combined with chromatin immunoprecipitation coupled with deep sequencing (ChIP-seq) and ribonucleic acid sequencing (RNA-seq) to provide a detailed description of gene expression. Here, we reviewed the literature on ATAC-seq and described the characteristics of ATAC-seq publications.

Membrane proteins are crucial for biological processes, and many of them are important to drug targets. Understanding the three-dimensional structures of membrane proteins are essential to evaluate their bio-function and drug design. High-purity membrane proteins are important for structural determination.

NcRNAs are involved in multiple biological processes, including chromatin remodeling, signal transduction, post-transcriptional modification, cell autophagy, carbohydrate metabolism, and cell cycle regulation. Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) is notorious for high invasiveness and metastasis, poor prognosis, and high mortality, and it is the most malignant breast cancer, while the effective targets for TNBC treatment are still lacking.
