Genetic modification of hypertension by sGCα1.
Hypertension is an important modifiable risk factor for coronary heart disease, congestive heart failure, stroke, end-stage renal disease, and peripheral vascular disease, but many of the molecular mechanisms and genetic factors underlying the development of the most common forms of human hypertension remain to be defined. Abundant evidence suggests that nitric oxide (NO) and one of its primary...

متن کاملGenetic Variation Stimulated by Epigenetic Modification
Homologous recombination is essential for maintaining genomic integrity. A common repair mechanism, it uses a homologous or homeologous donor as a template for repair of a damaged target gene. Such repair must be regulated, both to identify appropriate donors for repair, and to avoid excess or inappropriate recombination. We show that modifications of donor chromatin structure can promote homol...
متن کاملOptimizing dendritic cell function by genetic modification.
The potential for effective immune therapy for cancer has been met with considerable enthusiasm because of a number of fundamental advances in our understanding of the immune responses to cancer. First, previous questions about the existence of tumor antigens have largely been answered, since tumorassociated and tumor-specific antigens clearly exist and, when they are recognized by antigen-spec...
متن کاملGenetic modification and genetic determinism
In this article we examine four objections to the genetic modification of human beings: the freedom argument, the giftedness argument, the authenticity argument, and the uniqueness argument. We then demonstrate that each of these arguments against genetic modification assumes a strong version of genetic determinism. Since these strong deterministic assumptions are false, the arguments against g...
