In this study, we established a Cre/loxP mutant recombination system (Cre/lox71-66 system) for markerless gene deletion to facilitate our follow-up rational genetic engineering to the strain Bacillus pumilus W3. This modified method uses two mutant loxP sites, which after recombination creates a double-mutant loxP site that is poorly recognized by Cre recombinase, facilitating multiple gene deletions in a single genetic background. Two selected genes, cotA and sigF, were continuously knocked out and verified at different levels using this method. This method is simple and efficient and can be easily implemented for multiple gene deletions in B. pumilus.

Background: Kaposiform lymphangiomatosis (KLA) is a complex lymphatic anomaly associated with a somatic activating NRAS p.Q61R (NRAS) mutation. KLA is characterized by malformed lymphatic vessels that can lead to effusions and coagulopathy.

The implementation of genome editing strategies in grapevine is the easiest way to improve sustainability and resilience while preserving the original genotype. Among others, the Mildew Locus-O (MLO) genes have already been reported as good candidates to develop powdery mildew-immune plants. A never-explored grapevine target is NPR3, a negative regulator of the systemic acquired resistance.

For three-quarters of a century, glucocorticoids (GCs) have been used to treat rheumatic and autoimmune diseases. Over these 75 years, our understanding of GCs binding to nuclear receptors, mainly the glucocorticoid receptor (GR) and their molecular mechanisms has changed dramatically. Initially, in the late 1950s, GCs were considered important regulators of energy metabolism.

Despite the development of a vaccine against cutaneous leishmaniasis in preclinical and clinical studies, we still do not have a safe and effective vaccine for human use. Given this situation, the search for a new prophylactic alternative to control leishmaniasis should be a global priority. A first-generation vaccine strategy-leishmanization, in which live parasites are inoculated into the skin to protect against reinfection, is taking advantage of this situation.
