Article Abstract
Increased execution of replication studies contributes to the effort to restore credibility of empirical research. However, a second generation of problems arises: the number of potential replication targets is at a serious mismatch with available resources. Given limited resources, replication target selection should be well-justified, systematic and transparently communicated. At present the discussion on what to consider when selecting a replication target is limited to theoretical discussion, self-reported justifications and a few formalized suggestions. In this Registered Report, we proposed a study involving the scientific community to create a list of considerations for consultation when selecting a replication target in psychology. We employed a modified Delphi approach. First, we constructed a preliminary list of considerations. Second, we surveyed psychologists who previously selected a replication target with regards to their considerations. Third, we incorporated the results into the preliminary list of considerations and sent the updated list to a group of individuals knowledgeable about concerns regarding replication target selection. Over the course of several rounds, we established consensus regarding what to consider when selecting a replication target. The resulting checklist can be used for transparently communicating the rationale for selecting studies for replication.

Integrated single-cell and spatial transcriptomics uncover the prognostic, epigenetic, and immunological roles of FANCC in low-grade glioma.

Background: Immunotherapy holds significant yet underexplored potential for low-grade glioma (LGG) treatment. We therefore interrogated the role of Fanconi Anemia Complementation Group C (FANCC) as a novel immune checkpoint regulator given its spatial correlation with tumor microenvironments and clinical associations with immunosuppressive markers.
Objectives: FANCC is implicated in various tumor progressions; its role in LGG remains unexplored.

Feline infectious peritonitis virus (FIPV) can cause an immune-mediated disease that is fatal to felines, but there is a lack of clinically effective protection conferred by vaccines. The methyltransferase (MTase) activity of the coronavirus nonstructural proteins nsp14 and nsp16 affects virulence, but there are no studies on the effect of nsp14 and nsp16 mutations affecting enzyme activity on the virulence of FIPV. In this study, we successfully rescued two mutant strains based on the previous infectious clone QS-79, named FIPV QS-79 dnsp14 and dnsp16, by mutating the MTase active sites of nsp14 (N415) and nsp16 (D129).

CRISPR technology offers an entirely new approach to therapeutic development because it can target specific nucleotide sequences with high specificity, however, preclinical animal models are not useful for evaluation of their efficacy and potential off-target effects because of high gene sequence variations between animals and humans. Here, we explored the potential of using the CRISPR effector Cas13 to develop a new therapeutic approach for influenza A virus (IAV) infections based on its ability to specifically and robustly cleave single-strand viral RNA using a complementary CRISPR RNA (crRNA). We engineered crRNAs to target highly conserved regions in the IAV genome to create a potential pan-viral treatment strategy.

Purpose: The survival and progression of multiple myeloma (MM) cells rely heavily on supportive factors and cells within the MM microenvironment, notably macrophages. The PI3K signaling pathway plays a crucial role in both myeloma cells survival and macrophage polarity, making it a potential target for altering the MM microenvironment dynamics.
Methods: In this study, the impact of LY294002, a PI3K signaling pathway inhibitor, on the viability of U266 myeloma cells in mono-culture and MM patient-derived bone marrow mononuclear cells (BM-MNCs) in co-culture was investigated.
