Human Whole Genome CRISPR/Cas9 Knockout Library and Human RNA Binding Protein Library

Image
  CRISPR library screening   is a powerful high-throughput method for gene analysis, leveraging the CRISPR/Cas9 system. This approach involves constructing a library containing thousands of sgRNAs, which are inserted into lentiviral vectors and used to infect target cells at a low multiplicity of infection (MOI). This ensures that each cell receives only one sgRNA, enabling accurate functional gene screening. In this article, we highlight the top three most popular libraries of the month and share key research papers to provide guidance, insights, and support for advancing your scientific studies. I. Sequential genome-wide CRISPR-Cas9 screens identify genes regulating cell-surface expression of tetraspanins Original Link: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.celrep.2023.112065 Four-transmembrane proteins belong to a superfamily of membrane proteins. They were first identified while searching for new cell surface antigens in mammalian cancer cells. Currently, 33 members of this four-trans...

CRISPR gene editing combined with magnetocaloric activation: A new strategy to assist precision medicine in cancer

Image
In current cancer treatment, inducing tumor cell to apoptosis is a key strategy, since tumor cells gain uncontrolled proliferation ability by mechanism of inhibiting normal apoptosis. Gene editing technology, especially the CRISPR-Cas9 system, has received widespread attention due to its ability to precisely regulate the cellular functions. However, the precise control of the system in human body still faces challenges. Combined with magnetothermal therapy, its high permeability and low toxicity can be utilized to provide a new cancer treatment method by controlling the thermal effects and synergistically utilizing CRISPR-Cas9 technology. This magnetothermal - gene editing synergistic therapy demonstrates the promising therapeutic potential and provides a new strategy for precision medicine in cancer. Recently, a research paper entitled Magnetothermal activated gene editing strategy for enhanced turbine cell apoptosis, was published in Journal of Nanobiotechnology (Top of Zone 1, if: 1...
