Rescue of premature aging defects in Cockayne syndrome stem cells by CRISPR/Cas9-mediated gene correction.

abstract：:Emerging and re-emerging RNA viruses occasionally cause epidemics and pandemics worldwide, such as the on-going outbreak of the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2. Herein, we identified two potent inhibitors of human DHODH, S312 and S416, with favorable drug-likeness and pharmacokinetic profiles, which all showed broad-spec...
