摘要:
The present invention provides agents and compositions for modulating expression (e.g., enhanced or reduced expression) of a secreted frizzled related protein 1 (SFRP1) gene by targeting an SFRP1 expression control region and methods of use thereof for treating an SFRP1 associated disorder, e.g., hair loss.
摘要:
The present disclosure provides a model of human fibrolamellar hepatocellular carcinoma (FL-HCC) cells maintained as a transplantable tumor line in a host and a method to establish a transplantable human FL-HCC tumor line. Methods of ex vivo cultures of the FL-HCC are provided. Methods of diagnosing and treating FL-HCC tumors are also provided.
摘要:
The present disclosure is directed to methods of inducing rejuvenation in a population of adult glial progenitor cells, and methods of treating a subject having a myelin deficiency. The method of treating a subject having a myelin deficiency, may comprise expressing, in glial progenitor cells of the subject, one or more transcription factors selected from the group consisting of B-cell lymphoma/leukemia 11A (BCL11A), histone deacetylase 2 (HDAC2), histone-lysine N-methyltransferase EZH2 (EZH2), myc proto-oncogene protein (MYC), high mobility group protein HMGI-C (HMGA2), nuclear factor 1 B-type (NFIB), and transcriptional enhancer factor TEF-4 10 (TEAD2), wherein said expressing is effective to induce myelination in the subject, thereby treating the myelin deficiency.
摘要:
A compound of formula (I) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and a pharmaceutical composition comprising the compound. The compound is useful in therapy, for the treatment of disorders mediated by HDAC6, such as autoimmune disorders, neurodegenerative disorders and hyperproliferative disorders, such as cancer.
摘要:
Engineered CRISPR-Cas9 nucleases with improved specificity and their use in genomic engineering, epigenomic engineering, genome targeting, and genome editing.
摘要:
The present invention provides methods to reduce or inhibit weight gain by administering inhibitors of the SirT1 protein to a subject. Methods to identify such inhibitors are also disclosed.
摘要:
The present invention relates to the field of transgenic animals. More specifically, the present invention provides methods and composition related to humanized transgenic single polymorphism non-human animal systems. In one embodiment, a system comprises (a) a transgenic non-human animal comprising a transgene encoding a wildtype human protein, wherein the protein is biologically active in the animal; and (b) at least one transgenic non-human animal comprising a transgene encoding a variant human protein, wherein the protein is biologically active in the animal and wherein the variant comprises one or more single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs).
摘要:
The present technology relates to cosmetic and pharmaceutical compositions useful for minimizing the appearance of aging via a safe method of stimulating sirtuin activity. In particular, the present technology relates to compositions and methods that utilize a combination of a sirtuin activator with a sirtuin-offsetting agent in order to maintain a healthy population of skin cells while preventing survival and growth of abnormal cells that are irreparably damaged.
摘要:
This invention relates to a novel screening method that identifies simple molecular markers that are predictive of whether a particular disease condition is responsive to a specific treatment. Also, a method of diagnosing the susceptibility of an individual suffering from a disease to treatment with an HDAC inhibitor is provided. Also provided is a method of treating a proliferative disease or a condition which involves a change in cell differentiation or growth rate in a patient.
