DsDNA-templated Substrates as Fluorescent Probes for CRISPR-Cas12a-based Diagnostics
New design for CRISPR-based fluorescent probes improves disease diagnostics and sensing. Background: Scientists use the naturally occurring CRISPR-Cas12a gene editing system as a valuable tool for disease diagnostics. When Cas12a finds its target -- a sequence of double-stranded DNA -- it cuts it. In the process, it also cuts other nearby DNAs. Scientists...

Gene-based Diagnostic Predicts Patient Response to Cancer Immunotherapy
Abstract: Immunotherapy is a promising method of treating cancer that leverages the immune system to promote tumor rejection. However, certain somatic mutations in cancer cells confer resistance to T cell-mediated cytolysis. To improve the effectiveness of immunotherapies for cancer, there exists a need to prospectively identify patients who are most...
