Abstract: The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and its unprecedented global societal and economic disruptive impact highlight the urgent need for safe and effective vaccines. Taking substantial advantages of versatility and rapid development, two mRNA vaccines against COVID-19 have completed late-stage clinical asse...
Abstract: CRISPR-Cas systems provide bacteria and archaea with adaptive immunity against mobile genetic elements (MGEs) through uptake of invader-derived spacers. De novo adaptation samples spacers from both invaders and hosts, whereas primed adaptation shows higher specificity to sample spacers from invaders...
Abstract: Plant reproduction requires the coordinated development of both male and female reproductive organs. Jasmonic acid (JA) plays an essential role in stamen filament elongation. However, the mechanism by which the JA biosynthesis genes are regulated to promote stamen elongation remains unclear. Here, w...
Abstract: Gene therapy has become the most effective treatment for monogenic diseases. Congenital LEPTIN deficiency is a rare autosomal recessive monogenic obesity syndrome caused by mutations in the Leptin gene. Ob/ob mouse is a monogenic obesity model, which carries a homozygous point mutation of C to T in ...
Abstract: Olfaction, the sense of smell, is a fundamental trait crucial to many species. The olfactory bulb (OB) plays pivotal roles in processing and transmitting odor information from the environment to the brain. The cellular heterogeneity of the mouse OB has been studied using single-cell RNA sequencing. ...
