Article Abstract
In recent years, the CRISPR/Cas9-based gene-editing techniques have been well developed and applied widely in several aspects of research in the biological sciences, in many species, including humans, animals, plants, and even in viruses. Modification of the viral genome is crucial for revealing gene function, virus pathogenesis, gene therapy, genetic engineering, and vaccine development. Herein, we have provided a brief review of the different technologies for the modification of the viral genomes. Particularly, we have focused on the recently developed CRISPR/Cas9-based gene-editing system, detailing its origin, functional principles, and touching on its latest achievements in virology research and applications in vaccine development, especially in large DNA viruses of humans and animals. Future prospects of CRISPR/Cas9-based gene-editing technology in virology research, including the potential shortcomings, are also discussed.

Immune-evasive beta cells in type 1 diabetes: innovations in genetic engineering, biomaterials, and computational modeling.

Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is characterized by the autoimmune destruction of pancreatic beta cells, resulting in lifelong insulin therapy that falls short of a true cure. Beta cell replacement therapies hold immense potential to restore natural insulin production, but they face significant hurdles such as immune rejection, limited donor availability, and long-term graft survival. In this review, we explore cutting-edge advances in genetic engineering, biomaterials, and machine learning approaches designed to overcome these barriers and enhance the clinical applicability of beta cell therapies.

is a promising cell factory to produce various value-added chemicals, including fatty acid derivatives. However, their metabolic engineering development has been hindered by the limited availability of genetic tools. In this study, an accurate and specific gene-editing tool, CRISPR/Cas-based cytidine base editor (CBE) system, was developed for the first time in to broaden its genetic toolbox.

CRISPR/Cas9 technology is an efficient tool for site-specific livestock gene editing. However, to minimize potential disruption of host genome function, exogenous genes should be integrated into well-characterized genomic loci, such as H11 or Rosa26, which have been empirically validated for stable transgene expression. This study established a multi-dimensional assessment system to evaluate the biological applicability of the H11 locus and the widely used Rosa26 targeting platform as sites for targeted integration of exogenous genes in goats.

Viral diseases pose serious threats to human health, resulting in substantial economic losses. However, traditional disease models often fail to capture the full complexity of viral pathogenesis. Pluripotent and tissue stem cell-derived organoids help bridge this gap by closely mimicking the structure and function of native organs, thereby enabling new breakthroughs in studying viral pathogenesis.
