miR-26a-5p/ADAM17-Mediated Proteolysis of TREM2 Regulates Neuroinflammation in Hypertensive Mice Following Lead Exposure by Yuran Wang, Zeming Wang, Han Hao, Yuwei Zhao, Jian Wang, Weixuan Wang

“…We demonstrated that hypertension exacerbated Pb-induced neuroinflammation in the prefrontal cortex (PFC), hippocampus, and hypothalamus, as evidenced by increased levels of proinflammatory cytokines (IL-6 and TNF-α) and decreased levels of anti-inflammatory cytokines (CD206 and IL-10). Additionally, hypertension enhanced the neuroinflammatory response in microglia, as indicated by similar changes in cytokine expression in an in vitro cell model. …”

Impact of predictive selection of LbCas12a CRISPR RNAs upon on‐ and off‐target editing rates in soybean by Linda Rymarquis, Chenxi Wu, Diane Hohorst, Miguel Vega‐Sanchez, Thomas E. Mullen, Vijetha Vemulapalli, Douglas R. Smith

“…Examination of the edited off‐target sites revealed that LbCas12a was highly tolerant to mismatches between the crRNA and target site in bases 21–23 relative to the start of the protospacer, but even a single mismatch in the first 20 nt drastically reduced the editing rate. In addition, edits at off‐target sites have lower inheritance rates than on‐target edits, suggesting that they occur later in the plant's lifecycle. …”
