Abstract

CRISPR-Cas9 has emerged as a revolutionary tool that enables precise and efficient modifications of the genetic material. This review provides a comprehensive overview of CRISPR-Cas9 technology and its applications in genome editing. We begin by describing the fundamental principles of CRISPR-Cas9 technology, explaining how the system utilizes a single guide RNA (sgRNA) to direct the Cas9 nuclease to specific DNA sequences in the genome, resulting in targeted double-stranded breaks. In this review, we provide in-depth explorations of CRISPR-Cas9 technology and its applications in agriculture, medicine, environmental sciences, fisheries, nanotechnology, bioinformatics, and biotechnology. We also highlight its potential, ongoing research, and the ethical considerations and controversies surrounding its use. This review might contribute to the understanding of CRISPR-Cas9 technology and its implications in various fields, paving the way for future developments and responsible applications of this transformative technology.

Abstract

Simian Immunodeficiency Viruses (SIV) have been found to naturally infect African nonhuman primates (NHP). This causative agents are important and one of the special interest as the root cause of the HIV/AIDS pandemic, one of the most threatening infectious diseases worldwide. The aim of this study was to design an epitope-based vaccine using bioinformatics approaches of the circulating SIV in Kenya, Africa. In this study, we used 17 partial SIV envelope glycoprotein genes retrieved from GenBankĀ® (National Center for Biotechnology Information, USA). We analysed the candidate epitopes using the Immune Epitope Database and Analysis Resource. Then, we performed the protective antigens prediction usingVaxiJen. Interestingly, this study revealed the data of B cell epitope prediction, protective antigens prediction, and molecular phylogenetic of circulating SIV in Kenya, Africa. In sum, this study can be used to design a novel epitope-based vaccine against SIV. We suggest further studies to conduct confirmatory experiments (in vitro and in vivo).

Abstract

SARS-2 infection is predicted to trigger DNA damage due to excessive inflammatory responses from the immune system such as cytokine storms. The cytokine storm leads to an increase in oxidative stress in cells, possibly triggering senescence through activation of the DNA damage response (DDR) signaling pathway. Alterations in the DDR pathway that induce cellular senescence have been identified due to the regulation of viral proteins that lead to impaired DNA repair. However, previous studies have not examined the relationship between DNA damage, inflammation, and cellular senescence. In this short review, we will discuss with a simple perspective why SARS-CoV-2 infection can accelerate the cellular senescence process and its relationship with the inflammatory response.
