  • Patent number: 11421017
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a recombinant herpes simplex virus (HSV) containing an expression cassette capable of expressing a fused protein of a cancer-cell-targeting domain and an extracellular domain of HVEM and the use thereof. When the recombinant HSV infects and enters target cells, which are cancer cells, HSV proliferates, and an adapter, which is the fused protein, is expressed in the cells and is released to the outside of the cells along with the proliferated HSV virion upon cell lysis, or is released even before the virion is released due to cell lysis when the adapter contains a leader sequence, and the fused protein released to the outside of the cells acts to induce the HSV virion to infect surrounding cancer cells expressing a target molecule recognized by the cancer-cell-targeting domain or to increase the infection efficiency thereof.

  • Patent number: 11419320
    Abstract: Disclosed is a cold-resistant and lean-type transgenic pig and a preparation method therefor, which relate to the field of genetic engineering. By transferring a mouse uncoupling protein 1 gene into the genome of a pig, a transgenic pig is obtained which can not only resist the cold but also have an increased lean meat rate by reducing fat deposition. Simultaneous improvement of two important production traits of pigs through the site-directed single gene manipulation not only lays a foundation for the application and basic research of genetic editing for big animals, but also provides with breading researchers a new way of thinking for improving traits of livestock.

  • Publication number: 20220259658
    Abstract: The disclosure provides a miRNA marker for the treatment and/or diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease (AD), and the miRNA marker is a miRNA23 cluster. The disclosure provides use of the miRNA23 cluster in the diagnosis and treatment of AD. The expression of the miRNA23 cluster is detected using primers for the microRNA marker through AD model cells, AD model animals and natural aging animals, and blood of AD patients, and it is found that the expression of the miRNA23 cluster is significantly reduced during the progression of AD, which reduces neuronal apoptosis by inhibiting the GSK-3?-mediated tau protein phosphorylation. Therefore, the miRNA23 cluster can be used as a novel biomarker and therapeutic target for the early, non-invasive diagnosis and treatment of AD.

    Abstract: A host map system for updating a region of a host map based on sensor data received from a plurality of connected vehicles travelling in the region comprises monitoring a host map region for discrepancies, defining a geo-fence around an area of a discrepancy and setting a schedule for activing the geo-fence. When a connected vehicle enters the geo-fence, the host mapping system transmits the geo-fence to the connected vehicle and requests that it share its sensor data while travelling in the geo-fenced area. The host mapping system receives the sensor data and processes the data to update details of the host map. The host mapping system may transmit the updated map to connected vehicles travelling in the map region.
