General-purpose yeast expression vectors for convenient cloning and production of proteins with N- or C-terminal His6 tags that can be efficiently removed with thrombin have been developed. To the parental yeast-E. coli shuttle vectors that have convenient copper-inducible expression, two selectable markers and LEU2d vector amplification, this development adds substantial versatility to product recovery.

Background: Our lab has developed a CRISPR-based, gene-editing strategy that targets the extreme C-terminus (C-term) of APP (amyloid precursor protein) - a gene with a central and indisputable role in AD. We have reported previously that APP C-terminus CRISPRs effectively attenuate APP β-cleavage and Alzheimer's pathology in vivo. Here, we present new data demonstrating the feasibility and efficacy of a clinically-viable, "all-in-one" therapeutic vector that has all the components needed for APP C-terminus editing (Cas enzyme / gRNAs / regulatory elements) packaged into a single AAV.

Resistance to the currently available treatment paradigms is one of the main factors that contributes to poor outcomes in patients with advanced cervical cancer. Novel targeted therapy approaches might enhance the patient's treatment outcome and are urgently needed for this malignancy. While chimeric-antigen receptor (CAR)-based adoptive immunotherapy displays a promising treatment strategy for liquid cancers, their use against cervical cancer is largely unexplored.

Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) represents a significant global public health challenge. This study aims to identify biomarkers of renal fibrosis and elucidate the relationship between unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO), immune infiltration, and cell death.
Methods: Gene expression matrices for UUO were retrieved from the gene expression omnibus (GSE36496, GSE79443, GSE217650, and GSE217654).

Therapeutic human papillomavirus (HPV) DNA vaccine is an attractive option to control existed HPV infection and related lesions. The two early viral oncoproteins, E6 and E7, are continuously expressed in most HPV-related pre- and cancerous cells, and are ideal targets for therapeutic vaccines. We have previously developed an HPV 16 DNA vaccine encoding a modified E7/HSP70 (mE7/HSP70) fusion protein, which demonstrated significant antitumor effects in murine models.

Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a chronic and progressive lung disease. Disulfidptosis-related genes (DRGs) may be involved in the pathogenesis of COPD. From the perspective of predictive, preventive, and personalized medicine (PPPM), clarifying the role of disulfidptosis in the development of COPD could provide a opportunity for primary prediction, targeted prevention, and personalized treatment of the disease.
