Unlabelled: With the emergence of large-scale Cap Analysis of Gene Expression (CAGE) datasets from individual labs and the FANTOM consortium, one can now analyze the cis-regulatory regions associated with gene transcription at an unprecedented level of refinement. By coupling transcription factor binding site (TFBS) enrichment analysis with CAGE-derived genomic regions, CAGEd-oPOSSUM can identify TFs that act as key regulators of genes involved in specific mammalian cell and tissue types. The webtool allows for the analysis of CAGE-derived transcription start sites (TSSs) either provided by the user or selected from ∼1300 mammalian samples from the FANTOM5 project with pre-computed TFBS predicted with JASPAR TF binding profiles. The tool helps power insights into the regulation of genes through the study of the specific usage of TSSs within specific cell types and/or under specific conditions.

In the field of contemporary medicine, inflammation has emerged as a significant concern in global public health. Among the current anti-inflammatory strategies, nanozymes possess distinctive advantages and demonstrate unexpected efficacy in combating inflammation. However, the indeterminate structures and limited enzyme-like activity exhibited by most developed nanozymes impede their clinical translation and therapeutic effectiveness.

The zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF)-67 microcrystal was employed as a precursor to synthesize the hollow ZIF-8/ZIF-67 composite the epitaxial growth of ZIF-8 on ZIF-67, self-sacrifice, and excavation of ZIF-67. The hollow ZIF-8/ZIF-67 composite was successfully transformed to the ZnO-CoO/N-C cage by thermal treatment, which was further used as the catalyst for the oxidative degradation of bisphenol A (BPA) in the presence of potassium persulfate (PS). In comparison with the CoO/N-C and CoO obtained from pure ZIF-67 and cobalt nitrate, the ZnO-CoO/N-C cage demonstrated a more than four fold-higher activity and robust reusability.

Article Synopsis
- Finfish cage culture is the leading type of mariculture, sparking concerns about environmental impacts, particularly nutrient release in Daya Bay, southern China.
- This study estimates nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) discharge from fish cage culture, finding significant annual releases of 205.6 tons of N and 39.2 tons of P.
- The research highlights that the use of trash fish contributes to higher nutrient release compared to formulated feeds, and suggests replacing trash fish with formulated feeds and co-culturing with other species as effective ways to manage nutrient levels.
Specific Internalisation of Gold Nanoparticles into Engineered Porous Protein Cages via Affinity Binding.
PLoS One

Institute of Materials Research and Engineering, A*STAR (Agency for Science, Technology and Research), Singapore, Singapore.
Porous protein cages are supramolecular protein self-assemblies presenting pores that allow the access of surrounding molecules and ions into their core in order to store and transport them in biological environments. Protein cages' pores are attractive channels for the internalisation of inorganic nanoparticles and an alternative for the preparation of hybrid bioinspired nanoparticles. However, strategies based on nanoparticle transport through the pores are largely unexplored, due to the difficulty of tailoring nanoparticles that have diameters commensurate with the pores size and simultaneously displaying specific affinity to the cages' core and low non-specific binding to the cages' outer surface.
