Harnessing apoptosis for improved anticancer gene therapy.
Advances in our understanding of the mechanisms by which tumor cells detect drug-induced DNA damage leading to apoptotic death have aided in the design of novel, potentially more selective strategies for cancer treatment. Several of these strategies use proapoptotic factors and have shown promise in sensitizing tumor cells to the cytotoxic actions of traditional cancer chemotherapeutic drugs. A...
متن کاملZebrafish genetics: Harnessing horizontal gene transfer
The promiscuous spread of Tc1/mariner transposons across species implies that host factors are relatively unimportant for their transposition. Heterologous elements can integrate on expression of the corresponding transposases, an approach that should greatly facilitate genetic analysis in the zebrafish.
متن کاملGene cloning and expression of soluble thrombopoietin functional domain by harnessing Rosetta-gami expression system
Background: Thrombopoietin (TPO) is an important cytokine that has a critical role in regulating hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) proliferation and megakaryocyte differentiation. Because of scares amount of this protein in human plasma, in many biotechnological centers around the world, recombinant production of this protein has been carried out. This study was aiming to gene cloning and express...
متن کاملConservation demands safe gene drive
Interest in developing gene drive systems to control invasive species is growing, with New Zealand reportedly considering the nascent technology as a way to locally eliminate the mammalian pests that threaten its unique flora and fauna. If gene drives successfully eradicated these invasive populations, many would rejoice, but what are the possible consequences? Here, we explore the risk of acci...
متن کاملGene Drive: Evolved and Synthetic
Drive is a process of accelerated inheritance from one generation to the next that allows some genes to spread rapidly through populations even if they do not contribute to-or indeed even if they detract from-organismal survival and reproduction. Genetic elements that can spread by drive include gametic and zygotic killers, meiotic drivers, homing endonuclease genes, B chromosomes, and transpos...
