    Base editing strategies to convert CAG to CAA diminish the disease-causing mutation in Huntington’s disease

    Doo Eun Choi, Jun Wan Shin ... Jong-Min Lee
    Uninterrupted CAG repeat length determines onset age in Huntington's disease, and therefore, base editing strategies to generate CAA interruption offer new therapeutic opportunities as they diminish the disease-causing mutation.

    DUX4 is a common driver of immune evasion and immunotherapy failure in metastatic cancers

    Jose Mario Bello Pineda, Robert K Bradley
    DUX4 expression is a common feature of metastatic tumors, where it is significantly associated with immune cell exclusion, decreased objective response to immune checkpoint blockade, and reduced patient survival.

    Aberrant methylation and expression of TNXB promote chondrocyte apoptosis and extracullar matrix degradation in hemophilic arthropathy via AKT signaling

    Jiali Chen, Qinghe Zeng ... Hongting Jin
    Alterations of DNA methylation were associated with articular cartilage degeneration in hemophilic arthropathy, and aberrant methylation and expression of TNXB promote blood-induced chondrocyte apoptosis by regulating AKT activation.
