In this study, a three-dimensional (3D) laser micromachining system with an integrated sub-100 nm resolution in-situ measurement system was proposed. The system used the same femtosecond laser source for in-situ measurement and machining, avoiding errors between the measurement and the machining positions. It could measure the profile of surfaces with an inclination angle of less than 10°, and the measurement resolution was greater than 100 nm. Consequently, the precise and stable movement of the laser focus could be controlled, enabling highly stable 3D micromachining. The results showed that needed patterns could be machined on continuous surfaces using the proposed system. The proposed machining system is of great significance for broadening the application scenarios of laser machining.

Here, we developed nanobody-assisted nanoluciferase fragment complementation for in situ measurement and visualization of endogenous protein-protein interaction (NanaPPI). When an interaction occurs, primary antibodies for two proteins bring the proximity of secondary nanobody-fused small/large fragment to reassemble into an intact NanoLuc variant, thus transforming interaction events to luminescent signals in situ with high sensitivity. Compared to proximity ligation assay, NanaPPI has a similar signal-to-background ratio, but it is more convenient with faster procedures, easier readout and lower cost.

Background: Emerging evidence support the notion that loss of splicing repression by TDP-43, an RNA binding protein that was first implicated in ALS-FTD, underlies their pathogenesis. Previously, we showed that delivery of an AAV9 vector at early postnatal day expressing a fusion protein, termed CTR comprised of the N-terminal region of TDP-43 and an unrelated splicing repressor termed RAVER1 complemented the loss of TDP-43 in mice lacking TDP-43 in spinal motor neurons (ChAT-IRES-Cre;tardbp mice). To translate this potential therapeutic strategy to the clinic, it will be important to demonstrate benefit of such AAV delivery of CTR to motor neurons in adult mice.

Background: Circular RNA represents a distinctive form of noncoding RNA resulting from back-splicing of exons and introns in mRNA. CircRNA has been shown play important roles in neurological diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease (AD). Some recent studies also have demonstrated circRNA is enriched in the mammal brain and differentially altered during AD.

Background: A case study on a PSEN1 (E280A) carrier with APOECh (R136S) mutation revealed changes in APOE protein function led to a protective effect on AD outcomes. Notably, there is an intriguing disparity between the two hallmark pathologies: a reduction in tauopathy but no change in plaque burden. Given that the APOE protein is predominantly produced by astrocytes and activated microglia, and the APOE gene is among the disease-associated microglia (DAM) genes, it is conceivable that the variance in pathological outcomes may be rooted in the glial response.

Background: Compared to the 'neutral' E3, the E4 allele of Apolipoprotein E (APOE) confers up to a 15-fold increase in Alzheimer's Disease (AD) risk. Conversely, the neuroprotective E2 allele decreases AD risk by a similar degree. Here, we aimed to assess the therapeutic potential of cell-type specific allelic 'switching' by investigating the physiological and neuropathological changes associated with an inducible, in vivo APOE4 to APOE2 transition in astrocytes using a novel transgenic mouse model METHOD: The APOE "switch mouse" (APOE4s2) uses the Cre-loxP system to allow for inducible APOE allele switching from E4 to E2.
