High-Efficiency Base Editing in the Retina of Primates and Human Tissues

High-precision Base Editing Technology in Primates and Human Retina Research Background Stargardt disease is a currently untreatable, inherited neurodegenerative disease that leads to macular degeneration and blindness due to loss-of-function mutations in the ABCA4 gene. The protein encoded by the ABCA4 gene is a membrane lipid flippase localized i...

Functional Mapping of the Molluscan Brain Guided by Synchrotron X-Ray Tomography

Academic Background The field of neuroscience has long been dedicated to understanding how neural circuits generate and control complex behaviors. Although simple model organisms, such as mollusks, crustaceans, and annelids, have provided valuable models for research due to their accessible nervous systems and large characteristic neurons, in many ...
