Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) are widely used for nucleic acid delivery but face challenges like limited targeting and accelerated blood clearance (ABC) effect. We design three ionizable oligomers (IOs) that, with polylactide-polyethylene glycol (PLA-PEG), form a potential siRNA delivery system, named Ionizable Polymeric Micelles (IPMs). The siRNA encapsulated IPMs escape from lysosomes upon cellular uptake, and silence the target gene.

Background: The transfer of mitochondrial DNA into the nuclear genomes of eukaryotes (Numts) has been linked to lifespan in non-human species and recently demonstrated to occur in rare instances from one human generation to the next.
Method: Here we investigated numtogenesis dynamics in humans in two ways. First, we quantified Numts in 1,187 post-mortem brain and blood samples from different individuals.

Background: Preclinical animal models are essential for the development of effective treatments. For instance, the 5xFAD mouse model successfully represents the pathophysiology of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Expression of humanized APP (K670N/M671L - Swedish, I716V - Florida, V717I - London) and PSEN1 (M146L and L286V), found in early onset AD patients, induces the production of amyloid-β 42 (Aβ42) and amyloid deposition, gliosis, and progressive neuronal loss.

Background: The accumulation of abnormal tau protein in neurons and glia in the human brain is the defining feature of neurodegenerative diseases known as tauopathies. Progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), the most common primary tauopathy, is typified by selective vulnerability of dopaminergic neurons and glia in the midbrain leading to an atypical parkinsonian movement disorder. To investigate candidate disease mechanisms underlying PSP, there is a critical need for model systems that more accurately recapitulate the cellular and molecular environment in the human brain.
