Vaccine Induces Protective Immune Response in Mouse Model
Vaccination of mice with a peptide derived from the apoB protein component of low density lipoprotein (LDL) stimulated increased production of regulatory T-cells (Tregs) and reduction in number and size of atherosclerotic lesions. More...25 Apr 2018
Artificial RNAs Increase Precision of Gene-Editing System
Incorporation of next-generation bridged nucleic acids at specific locations in CRISPR-RNAs (crRNAs) broadly reduces off-target DNA cleavage by Cas9 - a major drawback slowing the development of genome editing clinical applications - in vitro and in cells by several orders of magnitude.

Inhibiting Fibronectin Polymerization Reduces Injury to Cardiac Muscle
Working with a mouse model of human heart disease, researchers showed that interfering with fibronectin (FN) polymerization or its genetic deletion in fibroblasts would attenuate cardiac myofibroblasts (MF), fibrosis, and improve cardiac function following heart attack related injury.
