Enabling direct fate conversion with network biology.

Abstract:

:Current efforts in cellular disease modeling and regenerative medicine are limited by the paucity of cell types that can be generated in the laboratory. A new study introduces a computational framework, Mogrify, that uses network biology to predict combinations of transcription factors necessary for direct conversion between human cell types to ameliorate this issue.

  • Colonic polyposis caused by mTOR-mediated chromosomal instability in Apc+/Delta716 Cdx2+/- compound mutant mice.

    abstract::The mammalian homeobox transcription factor CDX2 has key roles in intestinal development and differentiation. Heterozygous Cdx2 mice develop one or two benign hamartomas in the proximal colon, whereas heterozygous Apc(Delta716) mice develop numerous adenomatous polyps, mostly in the small intestine. Here we show that ...
