The speed of reprogramming technologies evolution is rising dramatically in modern science. Both the scientific community and health workers depend on such developments due to the lack of safe autogenic cells and tissues for regenerative medicine, genome editing tools and reliable screening techniques. To perform experiments efficiently and to propel the fundamental science it is important to keep up with novel modifications and techniques that are being discovered almost weekly. One of them is CRISPR/Cas9 based genome and transcriptome editing. The aim of this article is to summarize currently existing CRISPR/Cas9 applications for cell reprogramming, mainly, to compare them with other non-CRISPR approaches and to highlight future perspectives and opportunities.

Immune cells are increasingly recognized as nutrient sensors; however, their developmental role in regulating growth under homeostasis or dietary stress remains elusive. Here, we show that Drosophila larval macrophages, in response to excessive dietary sugar (HSD), reprogram their metabolic state by activating glycolysis, thereby enhancing TCA-cycle flux, and increasing lipogenesis-while concurrently maintaining a lipolytic state. Although this immune-metabolic configuration correlates with growth retardation under HSD, our genetic analyses reveal that enhanced lipogenesis supports growth, whereas glycolysis and lipolysis are growth-inhibitory.

The purpose of this study was to investigate how Sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) signaling regulates glial phenotype, neuroprotection, and reprogramming of Müller glia (MG) into neurogenic MG-derived progenitor cells (MGPCs) in the adult male and female mouse retina. We found that S1P-related genes were dynamically regulated following retinal damage. (S1P receptor 1) and (sphingosine kinase 1) are expressed at low levels by resting MG and are rapidly upregulated following acute damage.

This study investigated the inhibitory effect of sucrose on the autolysis of recombinant Bacillus subtilis WB600 during keratinase production and elucidated its mechanism. Growth curves, cell morphology observations, cell wall integrity detection, and transcriptome analysis revealed that 2 % sucrose significantly increased cell biomass and delayed autolysis. Keratinase activity reached 5670.

Background And Aims: Viral myocarditis is an inflammatory pathology of the myocardium that involves innate immune responses, especially those involving neutrophils. However, strategies targeting neutrophils to alleviate inflammation have not achieved complete success. Alpha lipoic acid (ALA), a natural organosulfur compound, has the capacity to modulate immune cell behavior.
