Reverse genetic characterization of the natural genomic deletion in SARS-Coronavirus strain Frankfurt-1 open reading frame 7b reveals an attenuating function of the 7b protein in-vitro and in-vivo

During the outbreak of SARS in 2002/3, a prototype virus was isolated from a patient in Frankfurt/Germany (strain Frankfurt-1). As opposed to all other SARS-Coronavirus strains, Frankfurt-1 has a 45-nucleotide deletion in the transmembrane domain of...

A bacterial cytidine deaminase toxin enables CRISPR-free mitochondrial base editing 

Bacterial toxins represent a vast reservoir of biochemical diversity that can be repurposed for biomedical applications. Such proteins include a group of predictedinterbacterial toxins of the deaminase superfamily, members of which have found...

Comparison of Different Spike Train Synchrony Measures Regarding Their Robustness to Erroneous Data From Bicuculline-Induced Epileptiform Activity

As synchronized activity is associated with basic brain functions and pathological states, spike train synchrony has become an important measure to analyze experimental neuronal data. Many measures of spike train synchrony have been proposed, but...

Identify Host Factors for SARS-CoV-2 and Common Cold Coronaviruses

The Coronaviridae are a family of viruses that cause disease in humans ranging from mild respiratory infection to potentially lethal acute respiratory distress syndrome. Finding host factors common to multiple coronaviruses could facilitate the...

CRISPR C-to-G base editors for inducing targeted DNA transversions in human cells

CRISPR-guided DNA cytosine and adenine base editors are widely used for many applications1–4 but primarily create DNA base transitions (that is, pyrimidine-to-pyrimidine or purine-to-purine). Here we describe the engineering of two base editor...

Human Pluripotent Stem Cell-Derived Organoids as Models of Liver Disease

We cultured H1 human embryonic stem cells (WA-01, passage 27-40) and induced pluripotent stem cells (GM23338) with a series of chemically defined and serum-free media to induce formation of posterior foregut cells, which were differentiated in...

Enolate-forming compounds provide protection from platinum neurotoxicity

Cisplatin (CisPt) and other platinum (Pt)-based antineoplastic drugs (e.g., carboplatin, oxaliplatin) are highly effective and widely used in the treatment of solid tumors in both pediatric and adult patients. Although considered to be life-saving as...

Pharmacological or genetic depletion of senescent astrocytes prevents whole brain irradiation-induced impairment of neurovascular coupling responses protecting cognitive function in mice

Whole brain irradiation (WBI, also known as whole brain radiation therapy or WBRT) is a mainstream therapy for patients with identifiable brain metastases and as a prophylaxis for microscopic malignancies. WBI accelerates brain...

Assembly and Function of a Bioengineered Human Liver for Transplantation Generated Solely from Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells

The availability of an autologous transplantable auxiliary liver would dramatically affect the treatment of liver disease. Assembly and function in vivo of a bioengineered human liver derived from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) has not been...
