Article Abstract

We report the methodology to synthesize nucleic acid dendrons on a solid support via Cu(I)-catalyzed alkyne-azide cycloaddition (CuAAC). Current methods require excess coupling reagents and result in low yields. Our alternative strategy is based on standard solid-phase synthesis followed by 5'-end coupling of a multifunction linker to efficiently afford dendrons. This approach enables the synthesis of DNA/RNA dendrons whose properties are compatible with therapeutic applications.

Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) are lead non-viral vectors for delivering nucleic acids. LNPs can efficiently encapsulate nucleic acids, protect them from degradation, enhance cellular uptake and induce endosome escape, which show high transfection efficiency and low immunogenicity. In this review, we first introduce the LNP components, highlighting their critical roles in encapsulation, stability, delivery efficiency, and tissue tropism.

Background: People living with HIV(PLWH) are a high-risk population for cancer. We conducted a pioneering study on the gut microbiota of PLWH with various types of cancer, revealing key microbiota.

Methods: We collected stool samples from 54 PLWH who have cancer (PLWH-C), including Kaposi's sarcoma (KS, n=7), lymphoma (L, n=22), lung cancer (LC, n=12), and colorectal cancer (CRC, n=13), 55 PLWH who do not have cancer (PLWH-NC), and 49 people living without HIV (Ctrl).

Background: Metabolic reprogramming is an important hallmark of cervical cancer (CC), and extensive studies have provided important information for translational and clinical oncology. Here we sought to determine metabolic association with molecular aberrations, telomere maintenance and outcomes in CC.

Methods: RNA sequencing data from TCGA cohort of CC was analyzed for their metabolic gene expression profile and consensus clustering was then performed to classify tumors into different groups/subtypes.

COVID-19 variants continue to infect thousands of people even though the end of the pandemic was announced on May 11, 2023. Nextstrain CoVariants (CoVariants) genomic databases provide detailed information about more than 31 variants of COVID-19 viruses that have been identified through genomic sequencing, showing the mutations they carry. Mutated viruses may yield a negative result for a gene target using a PCR test that has a positive COVID-19 test result.
