Kinetic barriers in transdifferentiation.
Feature to: Jiang H. et al. Cell cycle and p53 gate the direct conversion of human fibroblasts to 2 The unidirectional and deterministic development of a zygote to trillions of cells that constitute a human produces the impression that it is an irreversible process, perhaps driven by reduction in free energy (G), as postulated in the Waddington Model, the prevailing doctrine in developmental b...
متن کاملKinetic barriers in RNA unzipping
We consider a simple model for the unfolding of RNA tertiary structure under dynamic loading. The opening of such a structure is regarded as a two step process, each corresponding to the overcoming of a single energy barrier. The resulting two-barrier energy landscape accounts for the dependence of the unfolding kinetics on the pulling rate. Furthermore at intermediate force, the two barriers c...
متن کاملKinetic equations for diffusion in the presence of entropic barriers.
We use the mesoscopic nonequilibrium thermodynamics theory to derive the general kinetic equation of a system in the presence of potential barriers. The result is applied to a description of the evolution of systems whose dynamics is influenced by entropic barriers. We analyze in detail the case of diffusion in a domain of irregular geometry in which the presence of the boundaries induces an en...
متن کاملForce and kinetic barriers in unzipping of DNA
A theory of the unzipping of double-stranded (ds) DNA is presented, and is compared to recent micromanipulation experiments. It is shown that the interactions which stabilize the double helix and the elastic rigidity of single strands (ss) simply determine the sequence dependent ≈ 12 pN force threshold for DNA strand separation. Using a semi-microscopic model of the binding between nucleotide s...
متن کاملLost in transdifferentiation.
What are the true origins of the smooth muscle cells (SMCs) present in the intimal lesions of transplant arteriosclerosis? A new study in the JCI shows that Sca-1(+) cells purified from the mouse aortic root can migrate through an irradiated vein graft to the neointima of the vessel and transdifferentiate to express the early SMC differentiation marker gene SM22. Do Sca-1(+) cells transdifferen...
