Valorization of Carménère Grape Pomace: Extraction, Microencapsulation, and Evaluation of the Bioactivity of Polyphenols in Caco-2 Cells.

Grape pomace is a major by-product of winemaking and a rich source of phenolic compounds with antioxidant potential. The Carménère variety, emblematic of Chilean viticulture, remains underutilized despite its high anthocyanin and flavanol content. This study aimed to develop a cost-effective method to recover and stabilize bioactive compounds from Carménère grape pomace.

Generation of an Avian Myeloblastosis Virus (AMV) Reverse Transcriptase Prime Editor.

Prime editing (PE) is a novel, double-strand break (DSB)-independent gene editing technology that represents an exciting avenue for the treatment of inherited retinal diseases (IRDs). Given the extensive and heterogenous nature of the 280 genes associated with IRDs, genome editing has presented countless complications. However, recent advances in genome editing technologies have identified PE to have tremendous potential, with the capability to ameliorate small deletions and insertions in addition to all twelve possible transition and transversion mutations.
