AbstractThe concurrent circulation of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), influenza virus, and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) has caused severe coinfections, posing significant public health threats. Developing individual vaccines for these respiratory viruses is hindered by waning immunity and rapid viral mutations. A combination mRNA vaccine streamlines development ...
SummaryPancreatic cancer remains highly lethal with limited treatment options. Although antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) have emerged as promising therapeutic agents, their efficacy is often limited by heterogeneous antigen expression and poor tumor penetration. To address these limitations, we develop B6ADC, a nanobody-based bispecific ADC that simultaneously targets TROP2 and c-Met. In preclinical ...
AbstractMicroRNAs are promising liquid biopsy biomarkers, but their clinical translation is hindered by detection challenges, including low abundance, high sequence similarity, and background interference. Here we present SE-SPTM-PCR, a detection platform integrating selective miRNA enrichment using locked nucleic acid probes with specific probe terminal mediated RT-qPCR. We show that SE-SPTM-PCR eliminates ...
AbstractElucidating antibody sequences by mass spectrometry-based de novo sequencing is essential but remains technically challenging. Here we present XA-Novo, an accurate and high-throughput de novo sequencing solution that integrates a single-pot multi-enzymatic gradient digestion method with a beam search-based assembler (Fusion) to reconstruct full-length antibody sequences directly from bottom-...
AbstractNear-infrared-II carbon dots offer exceptional deep-tissue penetration for biomedical imaging, but challenges remain in their synthesis and photoluminescence mechanisms. Here, we report three carbon dots (CDs-1, CDs-2, CDs-3) with tunable emission from the visible to the Near-infrared-II (480–1265 nm), synthesized by constructing extended aniline-based frameworks from p-phenylenediamine. ...
AbstractGlioblastoma (GBM) is an incurable brain tumor characterized by high heterogeneity. Oncolytic viruses (OVs) are an approved therapy, but their efficacy is often limited by poor cellular permissiveness to infection. Here we screen bioactive compounds to identify enhancers of oncolytic herpes simplex virus (oHSV) in GBM and discover a brain-penetrant leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) inhibitor ...
