Engineering plants using diverse CRISPR-associated proteins and deregulation of genome-edited crops
Trends Biotechnol. 2023 Nov 21:S0167-7799(23)00298-6. doi: 10.1016/j.tibtech.2023.10.007. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe CRISPR/Cas system comprises RNA-guided nucleases, the target specificity of which is directed by Watson-Crick base pairing of target loci with single guide (sg)RNA to induce the desired edits. CRISPR-associated proteins and other engineered nucleases are opening new avenues of research in crops to induce heritable mutations. Here, we review the diversity of CRISPR-associated proteins and strategies to deregulate genome-edited (GEd) crops by considering them to be close to natural processes. This techn...

Engineering biomaterials for the recovery of rare earth elements
Trends Biotechnol. 2023 Nov 18:S0167-7799(23)00302-5. doi: 10.1016/j.tibtech.2023.10.011. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe escalating global demand for rare earth elements (REEs) and the overabundance of REE-containing waste require innovative technologies for REE recovery from waste to achieve a sustainable supply of REEs while reducing the environmental burden. Biosorption mediated by peptides or proteins has emerged as a promising approach for selective REE recovery. To date, multiple peptides and proteins with high REE-binding affinity and selectivity have been discovered, and various strategies are being exploited to...
