摘要:
A transgenic knockout non-human animal is described whose genome includes a heterozygous disruption of the expression of at least one endogenous gene encoding zinc-finger, CCHC domain-containing protein 6 (ZCCHC6). The transgenic animal model can be used to study bone disease or development by determining differences in bone characteristics, protein expression, or cytokine expression in the animal model in comparison to a corresponding wild-type non-human animal.
摘要:
Disclosed are methods for making a vascularized hollow organ derived from human intestinal organoid (HIOs). The HIOs may be obtained from human embryonic stem cells (ESC's) and/or induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), such that the HIO forms mature intestinal tissue. Also disclosed are methods for making a human intestinal tissue containing a functional enteric nervous system (ENS).
摘要:
The present invention provides isolated IL-33 proteins, active fragments thereof and antibodies, antigen binding fragments thereof, against IL-33 proteins. Also provided are methods of modulating cytokine activity, e.g., for the purpose of treating immune and inflammatory disorders.
摘要:
The invention provides for systems, methods, and compositions for altering expression of target gene sequences and related gene products. Provided are structural information on the Cas protein of the CRISPR-Cas system, use of this information in generating modified components of the CRISPR complex, vectors and vector systems which encode one or more components or modified components of a CRISPR complex, as well as methods for the design and use of such vectors and components. Also provided are methods of directing CRISPR complex formation in eukaryotic cells and methods for utilizing the CRISPR-Cas system. In particular the present invention comprehends optimized functional CRISPR-Cas enzyme systems.

摘要:
Described herein are compositions (e.g. cells and transgenic animals) and methods relating to engineered Ig loci that permit expression of particular antibodies or antibody segments while still permitting recombination and/or maturation process for antibody optimization.
摘要:
Embodiments of the disclosure concern compositions and methods for genetic engineering related to hypermethylation of sequences. In particular embodiments, there are methods and compositions to induce DNA methylation in a manner that leads to transcriptional suppression of a target gene that allows characterization of the gene and/or its expression.
