Scientists Reveal New DNA-sensing Pathway in CD4+ T Cells and Regulatory Mechanism in Mediating Aging-related Autoimmune Disease
2021-03-05Researchers from SINH and SIMM of CAS jointly revealed a novel DNA-sensing pathway in aged CD4+ T cells that is independent on cGAS/STING, which promotes T cell activation and proliferation and leads to the development of aging-associated autoimmune diseases.

DNA Base Editing Induces Substantial Off-target RNA Mutations and Their Elimination by Mutagenesis
2019-06-20A recent study published in Nature demonstrated that DNA base editors generated tens of thousands of off-target RNA single nucleotide variants (SNVs) and these off-target SNVs could be eliminated by introducing point mutations to the deaminases. This work revealed ...
