SARS-COV-2 spike protein promotes RPE cell senescence via the ROS/P53/P21 pathway
In conclusions, the S-protein of SARS-Cov-2 induces cellular senescence of ARPE-19 cells in vitro and the expression of senescence-associated cytokines in zebrafish retina in vivo likely by activating ER stress, ROS, and NF-κb. These results may uncover a potential association between SARS-cov-2 infection and development of AMD.PMID:36738354 | PMC:PMC9898700 | DOI:10.1007/s10522-023-10019-0

Use of Iontophoresis Technology for Transdermal Delivery of a Minimal mRNA Vaccine as a Potential Melanoma Therapeutic
Biol Pharm Bull. 2023;46(2):301-308. doi: 10.1248/bpb.b22-00746.ABSTRACTmRNA vaccines have attracted considerable attention as a result of the 2019 coronavirus pandemic; however, challenges remain regarding use of mRNA vaccines, including insufficient delivery owing to the high molecular weights and high negative charges associated with mRNA. These characteristics of mRNA vaccines impair intracellular uptake and subsequent protein translation. In the current study, we prepared a minimal mRNA vaccine encoding a tumor associated antigen human gp10025-33 peptide (KVPRNQDWL), as a potential treatment for melanoma. Minimal mRNA...
