Abstract
The present invention relates to a technology for detecting a target nucleic acid by using an argonaute protein and an artificial nucleic acid circuit. The system according to the present invention can specifically detect target pathogens added to a human sample with 100% clinical sensitivity without nucleic acid amplification and separate extraction steps, and can directly identify target pathogens collected from the surface of an object by using the system together with a three-dimensional nanopillar array structure. In addition, since a trigger sequence cleaved by an Ago protein is designed to be used as a guide, a single protein is used, and thus manufacturing is simpler than that of a conventional nucleic acid detection circuit, and cost are reduced in that target pathogens can be detected with high sensitivity even with trace amounts of target nucleic acid sequences as long as the Ago protein, a reporter, and a reporter complement according to the system of the present invention are not depleted. In addition, the system according to the present invention proceeds in a single step, and can be easily applied to the detection of various target nucleic acid sequences by appropriately changing a nucleic acid recognition site to match a target pathogen.

In the present invention, it was found that suppressing the expression of the FTO gene in immune cells significantly improves cytolytic activity and that the immune cells differentiated from the stem cells with FTO gene expression suppressed therein exhibited superior cytolytic activity against cancer cells, whereby the limitations of existing immune cell therapies, such as immune mismatch and limited cell numbers, were overcome. Furthermore, in the present invention, the CAR gene was introduced into the location of the FTO gene in stem cells to generate stem cells that delete the FTO gene while expressing the CAR gene. The immune cells differentiated from the stem cells demonstrated significantly superior cytolytic activity against cancer cells. Therefore, the present invention can be effectively utilized as an immune anticancer cell therapy.

Provided is a composition for the prevention or treatment of Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria syndrome (HGPS) using gene editing, which contains sgRNA that hybridizes to mRNA encoding progerin, which causes HGPS, and a gene encoding Cas13 protein acting on the same. When introduced into the cell of a subject to be treated and only the mRNA encoding progerin is selectively cut. There is no need for co-prescribing with other therapies and fewer side effects occur than traditional farnesyltransferase inhibitors (FTIs). The efficiency is higher than when treated using homologous recombination (HR) at the DNA level, treatment using composition can be made reversibly, and the composition can be applied specifically compared to targeted treatment using RNAi (RNA interference), and has fewer side effects. Compared to treatment using CRISPR/Cas9, which directly acts on DNA and produces irreversible results, treatment using composition is reversible and selectively cut only mRNA encoding progerin, thereby ensuring safety.

Abstract
The present invention relates to a culture method for non-xenogeneic culturing of intestinal stem cells on a culture dish coated with a polymeric thin film, which does not include xenogeneic components such as Matrigel, and a use thereof. The method for culturing intestinal stem cells according to the present invention enables easy and rapid cultivation of homogeneous cells, enables mass-cultivation of cells at a low cost, and eliminates the risk of xenogeneic infection by culturing cells in a non-xenogeneic culture environment, thereby enabling the development of cell therapeutics that can actually be transplanted in practice. Another advantage is that cells can be cultured in a state in which cellular characteristics are maintained even during organ subculture and cryopreservation. Furthermore, the method for producing intestinal epithelial cells, according to the present invention, enables intestinal organoid-derived intestinal stem cells cultured in a non-xenogeneic culture environment to differentiate into intestinal epithelial cells in the same non-xenogeneic culture environment.

Abstract
The present invention relates to a YaxAB nanopore, a system comprising the nanopore and applications thereof. The YaxAB nanopore of the present invention has a funnel-shaped three-dimensional structure so that a change in current blocking according to movement of an analyte captured inside the nanopore can be maximized to enable very sensitive measurements of even the structure of the analyte and minute physical and chemical characteristic changes including dynamic change and the like, and can cause very strong electroosmosis with high cation selectivity such that various types of analytes can be captured and analyzed without limiting the types of overall charges. Additionally, with respect to the nanopore of the present invention, the amino acid sequence of a monomer constituting the nanopore can be adjusted to improve protein purification yield and control oligomerization mechanism, and thus a YaxAB nanopore having a pore size that cannot be formed by a wild-type monomer can be prepared. Furthermore, with respect to the nanopore of the present invention, YaxAB nanopores of various pore sizes can be ensured using one-time purification, and a nanopore of a desired pore size can be selectively ensured. Therefore, limitations of a conventional biological nanopore with a fixed pore size can be overcome such that, with respect to the YaxAB nanopore of the present invention, the size of a nanopore can be adjusted according to the size of an analyte. Additionally, the YaxAB nanopore of the present invention has analyte analysis spectrums of a very wide dynamic range of detection from a small analyte up to a large analyte, resulting from the funnel-shaped three-dimensional structure with a wide inlet and a narrow outlet. Moreover, the YaxAB nanopore of the present invention has the largest nanopore structure among biological nanopores up to now, and large-sized analytes that cannot be detected by conventional biological nanopores can undergo single molecule detection and analysis on the basis of a funnel structure with a large inlet. In addition, the present invention has established an optimized composition of a membrane in which the YaxAB nanopore can exist stably, and, by using a sensor implemented on the basis thereof, various types of analytes having relatively various sizes and charges can be qualitatively and quantitatively analyzed at a single molecular level with very high resolution and sensitivity.

The present invention relates to a vector that operates in strains of the Bacteroides genus, which are beneficial gut microbes. The vector carries the nucleic acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1 necessary for the transformation of Escherichia coli and Bacteroides strains, and the nucleic acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 2 including the origin of replication for Bacteroides strains. By recombining the nucleic acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 2 with that of SEQ ID NO: 1, the vector can stably exist and autonomously replicate within Bacteroides strains to maintain a high number of copies. Thus, the vector can be advantageously used as a gut biosensor or for manufacturing tool for microbiome-based therapeutic agents in the future.
