A CRISPR/Cas9-Based System for Reprogramming Cell Lineage Specification
Gene activation by the CRISPR/Cas9 system has the potential to enable new approaches to science and medicine, but the technology must be enhanced to robustly control cell behavior. We show that the fusion of two transactivation domains to Cas9 dramatically enhances gene activation to a level that is necessary to reprogram cell phenotype. Targeted activation of the endogenous Myod1 gene locus wi...
متن کاملReprogramming Committed B Lineage Cells
It is generally assumed that once a cell commits to a certain lineage it no longer can change its fate. A new study in this issue of Cell provides compelling evidence that committed mature B lineage cells can be reprogrammed to become macrophages.
متن کاملI-12: Nuclear Reprogramming in Bovin Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer
Somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT or cloning) returns a differentiated cell to a totipotent status; a process termed nuclear reprogramming. Reproductive cloning has potential applications in both agriculture and biomedicine, but is limited by low efficiency. To understand the deficiencies of nuclear reprogramming, our research has focused on both candidate genes and global gene expression pat...
متن کاملCellular Reprogramming toward the Erythroid Lineage
Haemoglobinopathies such as thalassaemia and sickle cell disease present a major health burden. Currently, the main forms of treatment for these diseases are packed red blood cell transfusions and the administration of drugs which act to nonspecifically reactivate the production of foetal haemoglobin. These treatments are ongoing throughout the life of the patient and are associated with a numb...
متن کاملDirect Cardiac Reprogramming: Advances in Cardiac Regeneration
Heart disease is one of the lead causes of death worldwide. Many forms of heart disease, including myocardial infarction and pressure-loading cardiomyopathies, result in irreversible cardiomyocyte death. Activated fibroblasts respond to cardiac injury by forming scar tissue, but ultimately this response fails to restore cardiac function. Unfortunately, the human heart has little regenerative ab...
