A study in Cancer Cell International finds that microRNA-3180 plays a vital role in inhibiting hepatocellular carcinoma cell proliferation and metastasis by suppressing lipid synthesis and transport and is a potential therapeutic target for such patients.
]. However, miRNAs that target both lipid synthesis and transport pathways have not been investigated.
Wild type and mutant predicted 3′-UTR binding sequences of miR-3180 in CD36 and SCD1 were obtained using PCR and cloned into pmir-GLO dual-luciferase miRNA target expression vectors . The primer sequences of the WT and Mut 3’-UTRs are listed in Table S3. WT and Mut 3′-UTR reporters were co-transfected with miR-3180 mimics or a negative control. The transfected cells were collected, and luciferase reporter analyses were performed according to the manufacturer’s instructions .

ST3GAL1 and βII-spectrin pathways control CAR T cell migration to target tumors - Nature ImmunologyCAR T cell success requires targeting tumors, but these cells can get trapped in other tissues, such as in the lungs, where they can cause pathology. Here, the authors use a loss-of-function CRISPR screen to identify regulators of CAR T cell tumor trafficking and engineer CAR T cells accordingly to overcome this limitation.

Bioelectronic microfluidic wound healing: a platform for investigating direct current stimulation of injured cell collectivesUpon cutaneous injury, the human body naturally forms an electric field (EF) that acts as a guidance cue for relevant cellular and tissue repair and reorganization. However, the direct current (DC) flow imparted by this EF can be impacted by a variety of diseases. This work delves into the impact of DC stimu
