Palmitoyl Acyltransferase Zdhhc17 Promotes Functional Recovery After Spinal Cord Injury by Targeting the Nuclear Transport Factors Kpna2 and Ipo9

ABSTRACT In adult mammals, poor functional recovery after spinal cord injury (SCI) is largely due to the very limited capacity to reconstruct damaged neural connections together with neuronal loss. Here, we identify the neuroprotective role of Zdhhc17 as a palmitoyl acyltransferase (PAT) following SCI. Neuron‑specific...

Advances and challenges in the application of CRISPR technology for environmental biological pollution control

Biological pollution, including pathogenic microorganisms, antibiotic resistance, invasive species, and harmful organisms, poses increasing threats to ecosystems, food security, and public health. In recent years, CRISPR-based technologies have emerged as powerful tools for biological pollution control due to their hig...
