NanoScript: A Nanoparticle-Based Artificial Transcription Factor for Effective Gene Regulation
Transcription factor (TF) proteins are master regulators of transcriptional activity and gene expression. TF-based gene regulation is a promising approach for many biological applications; however, several limitations hinder the full potential of TFs. Herein, we developed an artificial, nanoparticle-based transcription factor, termed NanoScript, which is designed to mimic the structure and func...
متن کاملInducing Stem Cell Myogenesis Using NanoScript.
Transcription factors (TFs) are multidomain proteins that play a critical role in orchestrating stem cell differentiation, but several limitations hinder the full potential of TF-based gene regulation. Here we report a unique strategy to emulate TFs and differentiate stem cells in a nonviral approach using an artificial, nanoparticle-based transcription factor called NanoScript. The NanoScript ...

متن کاملIntegrating epigenetic modulators into NanoScript for enhanced chondrogenesis of stem cells.
N-(4-Chloro-3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-2-ethoxybenzamide (CTB) is a small molecule that functions by altering the chromatin architecture to modulate gene expression. We report a new CTB derivative with increased solubility and demonstrate CTB's functionality by conjugating it on the recently established NanoScript platform to enhance gene expression and induce stem cell differentiation. NanoScr...
متن کاملApproximation scheme based on effective interactions for stochastic gene regulation.
Since gene regulatory systems sometimes contain only a small number of molecules, these systems are not described well by macroscopic rate equations; a master equation approach is needed for such cases. We develop an approximation scheme for dealing with the stochasticity of the gene regulatory systems. Using an effective interaction concept, original master equations can be reduced to simpler ...
