Transgenic technology is crucial for advancing various areas of biological research. In silkworms, the traditional transgenic method relies on embryo microinjection, which is a labor-intensive process with limited efficiency and high technical barriers. To overcome these challenges, we developed an Ovary-Targeted Nucleic Acid Delivery Peptide, OT-NADPS, based on the Receptor-Mediated Ovary Transduction of Cargo system (ReMOT) by innovative integration. OT-NADPS, which consists of a nucleic acid loading domain and an ovarian targeting peptide, demonstrates strong nucleic acid binding capacity and excellent binding stability. It can efficiently deliver nucleic acid to silkworm ovaries through pupae injection, thereby enabling the generation of transgenic silkworms. Using the OT-NADPS delivery system, transgenic silkworms were obtained with a success rate of 3.92%, comparable to the 2.0%-5.0% success rate range in traditional embryo microinjection. This novel method shows a lower technical threshold and a higher success rate, which is potentially applied to transgenic operations in multiple insect species.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the concentration and integrity index of circulating cell-free DNA (ccf-DNA) as biomarkers for the detection and monitoring of minimal residual disease (MRD) in pediatric patients with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL). Comparison with a validated methodology for the quantification of monoclonal rearrangements of the IGH gene was made. Peripheral blood and bone marrow samples were collected from 10 pediatric patients with B-ALL at diagnosis, remission, and maintenance phases.

The global epidemic of overweight and obesity is closely linked to the development of chronic kidney disease (CKD), with extremely obese individuals facing a particularly high risk. This study aimed to assess the relationship between lipid profile levels, SIRT1 expression, and RNA-34a-5P in the regulation of blood lipid levels among severely obese individuals with renal diseases. Conducted over six months in three specialized hospitals, the study included 100 participants divided into two groups: 50 obese individuals with renal diseases and 50 obese controls without renal problems.

In the United States, the use of Food & Drug Administration (FDA)-licensed, approved, or cleared tests is required for infectious disease screening and determining the eligibility of deceased donors for all Human Cells, Tissues, and Cellular and Tissue-Based Products (HCT/Ps). With the discontinuation of two manual enzyme-linked immunoassay (EIA) tests, automated Chemiluminescent Microparticle Immunoassay (CMIA) technology was introduced as the primary alternative. This study compares serologic reactivity rates between manual EIA and automated CMIA methods.

Metabolic associated steatohepatitis (MASH) is a severe form of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) characterized by hepatocellular injury, inflammation, and fibrosis. Despite advances in understanding its pathophysiology, the molecular mechanisms driving MASH progression remain unclear. This study investigates the role of long non-coding RNA Linc01271 in MASLD/MASH pathogenesis, ant its involvement in the miR-149-3p/RAB35 axis and PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway.
