Due to the public health concerns of endocrine-disrupting chemicals, there is an increasing demand to develop improved high-throughput detection assays for enhanced exposure control and risk assessment. A substrate-free, autobioluminescent HEK293 assay was developed to screen compounds for their ability to induce androgen receptor (AR)-mediated transcriptional activation. The assay was validated against a group of 40 recommended chemicals and achieved an overall 87.5% accuracy in qualitatively classifying positive and negative AR agonists. The HEK293 assay was demonstrated as a suitable tool for Tier 1 AR agonist screening. By eliminating exogenous substrate, this assay provided a significant advantage over traditional reporter assays by enabling higher-throughput screening with reduced testing costs while maintaining detection accuracy.

Monkeypox (MPOX) is a zoonotic viral disease caused by the Monkeypox virus (MPXV), which has become the most significant public health threat within the genus since the eradication of the Variola virus (VARV). Despite the extensive attention MPXV has garnered, little is known about its clinical manifestations in humans. In this study, a high-throughput RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) approach was employed to investigate the transcriptional and metabolic responses of HEK293T cells to the MPXV A5L protein.

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a chronic, progressive, and devastating lung disorder. In response to transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β), normal lung cells proliferate and differentiate into myofibroblasts, which are instrumental in promoting disease progression. Small interfering RNA (siRNA) targeting heat shock protein 47 (HSP47) has been demonstrated to alleviate IPF by blocking collagen synthesis and secretion.

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are pivotal regulators of cellular processes. Here we reveal an interaction between the lncRNA NORAD, noted for its role in DNA stability, and the immune related transcription factor STAT3 in embryonic and differentiated human cells. Results from NORAD knockdown experiments implicate NORAD in facilitating STAT3 nuclear localization and suppressing antiviral gene activation.

Voltage-gated Na+ (Nav) channels are the primary determinants of the action potential in excitable cells. Nav channels rely on a wide and diverse array of intracellular protein-protein interactions (PPIs) to achieve their full function. Glycogen synthase kinase 3 β (GSK3β) has been previously identified as a modulator of Nav1.

The widespread application of genome editing to treat and cure disease requires the delivery of genome editors into the nucleus of target cells. Enveloped delivery vehicles (EDVs) are engineered virally derived particles capable of packaging and delivering CRISPR-Cas9 ribonucleoproteins (RNPs). However, the presence of lentiviral genome encapsulation and replication proteins in EDVs has obscured the underlying delivery mechanism and precluded particle optimization.
