RNA interference: the new somatic cell genetics?
RNAi is evolving into a powerful tool for manipulating gene expression in mammalian cells with potential utility for investigating gene function, for high-throughput, function-based genetic screens and potentially for development as a therapeutic tool.
متن کاملCell Fusion And the New Genetics
A reliable technique for fusing cells from man and other mammals has ignited a worldwide explosion in genetic research. Scientists have been combining specialized cells such as those of the liver with those of the blood. Even species lines are no barrier-hybrids of human and mouse cells were among the first produced. Human cells have also been fused with those from hamsters, rats, chickens, and...
متن کاملSearching for targets: the power of somatic cell genetics.
The efficacy of a therapeutic drug is measured by its potency and selectivity. Therefore, an important aspect of any new therapeutic approach for the treatment of cancer is the identification of traits that distinguish the normal cells of the body from the tumor cells. Modern molecular genetics has developed powerful methods for distinguishing mutant cells from nonmutant cells, even unmasking s...
متن کاملEndosome maturation: insights from somatic cell genetics and cell-free analysis.
Endosomal density changes in cell-free systems The mechanism by which dense lysosomes are generated in animal cells has been the subject of intense research and speculation (for reviews, see [ 1-31). Despite much progress in understanding the biosynthesis and trafficking of lysosomal enzymes, the internalization of ligands and solutes and the sorting of receptors and other molecules that are re...
متن کاملGenetics of Somatic Fusion in PHYSARUM POLYCEPHALUM: the Ppii Strain.
Plasmodial (somatic) fusion in a strain of Physarum polycephalum, a true slime mold, is controlled by four loci, each of which displays simple dominance. Two diploid plasmodia fuse with each other only if they are phenotypically or genotypically identical for all four fusion loci.
