Hachimoji DNA and RNA. A Genetic System with Eight Building Blocks

TL;DR: DNA- and RNA-like systems built from eight nucleotide “letters” that form four orthogonal pairs that meet the structural requirements needed to support Darwinian evolution, including a polyelectrolyte backbone, predictable thermodynamic stability, and stereoregular building blocks that fit a Schrödinger aperiodic crystal are reported.
Journal ArticleDOI

Expression of small, therapeutic RNAs in human cell nuclei.

TL;DR: In situ localization of the transcripts shows that both tRNA and U6 promoter transcripts give primarily punctate nuclear patterns, and that capping of transcripts is not required for nuclear retention, whereas other RNAs have little or no effect when expressed in these cassettes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Aptamer:toxin conjugates that specifically target prostate tumor cells

TL;DR: The results validate the notion that "escort aptamers" may be useful for the treatment of specific tumors expressing unique antigen targets and promote uptake into target cells but also decreases the toxicity of gelonin in non-target cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

Quantum-dot aptamer beacons for the detection of proteins

TL;DR: This work designed a quantum-dot-based aptamer biosensor that can detect the small molecule maltose and utilized an aptamer that is known to bind the blood-clotting protein thrombin as a model system.
