A Simpler Way to Harvest Skin Stem Cells with Microfluidic Technology in 45 Minutes

Isolation and enrichment of skin stem cells, especially CD34+cells along with dermal and epidermal cells, using two-stage microfluidic technology can now generate significant levels of hair follicles and sebaceous glands. The microfluidic devices coated with degradable antibody-functionalized hydrogels enables direct isolation and injection of CD34+ skin stem cells without prior labelling, completing the process in about 45 minutes. This technology, when scaled & multiplexed to rapidly separate large amounts of cell mixture, may improve the practicality and efficiency of regenerative therapies and future hair transplantation procedures.

Cryo-electron microscopy reveals the structure of Nipah virus replication machinery

Study conducted by scientist at The Hormel Institute, University of Minnesota revealed the 2.9-Å cryo-electron microscopy structure of the Nipah virus L–P polymerase complexes. The L protein complex consists of conserved N-terminal domain, RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp), and GDP poly ribonucleotidyltransferase while the P protein complex consists of central oligomerization domain and the C-terminal X domain. These interact using the flexible antiparallel β-sheets domain of the P protomers and the fingers subdomain of RdRp forming a tetrameric organization crucial for replication and transcription mechanisms of the virus.

Nipah Virus–Pseudotyped Lentiviral Vectors: A Promising Strategy for Precision Gene Therapy

Engineered Nipah virus glycoproteins pseudotyped onto lentiviral vectors enable highly selective and efficient gene delivery. These vectors achieve up to 10–100-fold higher titers than measles-based systems, resist antibody neutralization, and preferentially target membrane-proximal receptors, significantly enhancing transduction efficiency and demonstrating strong potential for targeted gene therapy applications.
