A broad host range (BHR)-inducible T7 RNA polymerase system was developed, enabling induction with isopropyl-β-d-thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG), similar to the Escherichia coli strain BL21(DE3) protocol, but it is now applicable in a wide range of bacteria. This system allows for high protein yields and purification from diverse Gram-negative bacteria, including the native host.

Background: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a highly lethal cancer with a 5-year survival rate of 12%. It has two major molecular subtypes: classical and basal, regulated by the master transcription factors (MTFs) GATA6 and ΔNp63, respectively.
Objective: This study sought to uncover the transcriptional regulatory mechanisms controlling PDAC subtype identity.

H9N2 avian influenza virus (AIV), a major pathogen causing respiratory infections in poultry, poses a significant threat to the poultry industry and human health. Early detection and control of H9N2 infections are essential for minimizing economic losses and preventing potential zoonotic transmission. A novel CRISPR-Cas family member called CRISPR-Cas13a comprises the CRISPR RNA (crRNA) and Cas13a nuclease.

Glioblastoma, characterized by rapid proliferation and invasiveness, is largely resistant to current treatment modalities. A major obstacle is the blood-brain barrier (BBB), which restricts the delivery of therapeutic agents as well as the infiltration of effective immune cells into glioblastoma. In this study, we developed an injectable oxidized high-amylose starch hydrogel (OHASM) to serve as a biomaterial scaffold for the delivery of macrophages and macrophage-polarizing drugs, aiming to bypass the BBB and enhance glioblastoma treatment.

The recurrent global exposure to highly challenging viral epidemics, and the still limited spectrum of effective pharmacological options step on the accelerator towards the development of new antiviral medicines. In this work we explored the anti-SARS-CoV-2 potential of a recently launched chiral ring system based on the uracil scaffold fused to carbocycle rings. The asymmetric synthesis of two generations of chiral uracil-based compounds (overall 31 different products), and their in vitro cytotoxicity and antiviral screening against wild-type SARS-CoV-2 in U87.

Neuropathic pain (NP) imposes a significant burden on individuals, manifesting as nociceptive anaphylaxis, hypersensitivity, and spontaneous pain. Previous studies have shown that traumatic stress in the nervous system can lead to excessive production of hydrogen sulfide (HS) in the gut. As a toxic gas, it can damage the nervous system through the gut-brain axis.
