Unlabelled: The bacterium is an opportunistic pathogen that can cause lung, skin, wound, joint, urinary tract, and eye infections. While is known to exhibit a robust competitive response toward other bacterial species, this bacterium is frequently identified in polymicrobial infections where multiple species survive. For example, in prosthetic joint infections, can be identified along with other pathogenic bacteria including , , and .

Single-cell methods to assess DNA methylation have not achieved the same level of cell throughput per experiment compared to other modalities, with large-scale datasets requiring extensive automation, time, and other resources. Here, we describe sciMETv3, a combinatorial indexing-based technique that enables atlas-scale libraries to be produced in a single experiment. To reduce the sequencing burden, we demonstrate the compatibility of sciMETv3 with capture techniques to enrich regulatory regions, as well as the ability to leverage enzymatic conversion, which can yield higher library diversity.

PARP inhibitors (PARPi) have received regulatory approval for the treatment of several tumors, including prostate cancer (PCa), and demonstrate remarkable results in the treatment of castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) patients characterized by defects in homologous recombination repair (HRR) genes. Preclinical studies showed that DNA repair genes (DRG) other than HRR genes may have therapeutic value in the context of PARPi. To this end, we performed multiple CRISPR/Cas9 screens in PCa cell lines using a custom sgRNA library targeting DRG combined with PARPi treatment.

Introduction: Approximately one-third of all AML patients have a mutation in the Fms-like tyrosine kinase 3 () gene, which is associated with a poor prognosis in these individuals. The 2017 approval of midostaurin, the first FLT3 inhibitor, spurred extensive development of more potent and selective inhibitors with an improved safety profile.

Areas Covered: This review analyzes patent inventions for the treatment of AML using FLT3 inhibitors, covering developments from the earliest to the most recent, disclosed in 2024.

Inarguably, the green fluorescent protein (GFP) family is an exemplary model for protein engineering, accessing a range of unparalleled functions and utility in biology. The first variant to recognize and provide an optical output of chloride in living cells was serendipitously uncovered more than 25 years ago. Since then, researchers have actively expanded the potential of GFP indicators for chloride through site-directed and combinatorial site-saturation mutagenesis, along with chimeragenesis.
