Direct cardiac reprogramming relies on the principles of transdifferentiation to convert specialized cells into new cell types that help repair the heart.
Researchers identified common, dysregulated pathways among different cancers using a newly developed protein-protein interaction mapping technique. The results may inform treatment and lead to the development of more effective drugs for cancer.
Researchers are using CRISPR gene editing to restore function of the mutant protein that causes Duchenne muscular dystrophy, a genetic disease that causes muscle degeneration.
