PRINT and Safe-Harbor Transgene Insertion
2026-08-26
The reference study introduces PRINT, an RNA-only strategy that uses avian R2 retroelement proteins to insert transgenes at a multicopy human safe-harbor locus through target-primed reverse transcription. Its combination of site-specific nicking, direct cDNA synthesis, and separate protein- and template-RNA delivery addresses important safety and scalability limitations of DNA-break-based and viral approaches.

Measuring Drug Response Beyond Cell Viability
2026-08-24
Hannah R. Schwartz’s dissertation shows why relative viability and fractional viability should not be treated as interchangeable measures of anticancer response. Its central contribution is a two-dimensional, time-aware framework that separates growth inhibition from cell killing, improving interpretation of in vitro drug-response experiments.

GRA12: A Conserved Virulence Factor in Toxoplasma
2026-08-23
A 2025 Nature Communications study used pooled in vivo CRISPR–Cas9 screens across Toxoplasma gondii strains and mouse backgrounds to identify virulence factors that remain important despite parasite and host variation. GRA12 emerged as the leading conserved effector, protecting the parasitophorous vacuole from immune-associated collapse and host-cell necrosis during acute infection.

Formononetin and Oxaliplatin Neurotoxicity
2026-08-20
The reference study identifies formononetin as a neuroprotective isoflavone that reduces oxaliplatin-induced oxidative stress and neuronal apoptosis through the Nrf2/HO-1 pathway. Its central translational contribution is the preservation of oxaliplatin and paclitaxel anticancer activity, unlike the broad antioxidant N-acetylcysteine.
