In this protocol, AAV2 vector is produced by co-culturing Spodoptera frugiperda (Sf9) insect cells with baculovirus (BV)-AAV2-green fluorescent protein (GFP) or therapeutic gene and BV-AAV2-rep-cap infected Sf9 cells in suspension culture. AAV particles are released from the cells using detergent, clarified, purified by affinity column chromatography, and concentrated by tangential…

Integration of APC scRNA-seq data reveals heterogeneity of adipocyte progenitor cells In a previous study9, we defined Lin−Sca1+CD142+ APCs as adipogenesis regulatory (Areg) cells and demonstrated that these cells are both refractory toward adipogenesis and control adipocyte formation of APCs through paracrine signaling. In contrast, Merrick et. al.4 observed that Lin−CD142+ cells…

When a patient receives a kidney transplant, doctors carefully monitor them for signs of rejection in several ways, including biopsy. However, this procedure is invasive and can only detect issues at a late stage. Now, researchers reporting in ACS’ Analytical Chemistry have developed a CRISPR-based assay that can sensitively and…

Introduction Sleep is a complex neurological and physiological state. It is defined as a natural and reversible state of reduced responsiveness to external stimuli and relative inactivity, accompanied by a loss of consciousness.1 Sleep disorders can be classified as seven major categories: insomnia disorders, sleep-related breathing disorders, central disorders of…

By Deborah Borfitz January 5, 2022 | A large-scale study involving more than 2,000 individuals across three countries could help disentangle associations between cardiometabolic disease, the gut microbiome, and metabolic markers in the blood—and, perhaps most importantly, the potential role played by the most prescribed drug treatments. These medications explain…

Introduction Tuberculosis (TB) is considered to be one of the top ten causes of death in the world, about a quarter of the world’s population is infected with M. tuberculosis.1 The World Health Organization (WHO) divides tuberculosis into pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) and extra-pulmonary tuberculosis (EPTB). Although breakthroughs have been made…

Adeno-associated virus (AAV) vectors are a versatile and appealing gene therapy delivery platform, capable of targeting a wide range of cell types. However, AAV must be produced in a living system, and issues with scalability and high production costs have so far limited the widespread adoption of the technology. Technology…
