Small molecule-induced cellular fate reprogramming: promising road leading to Rome.

Abstract:

:Cellular fate reprogramming holds great promise to generate functional cell types for replenishing new cells and restoring functional loss. Inspired by transcription factor-induced reprogramming, the field of cellular reprogramming has greatly advanced and developed into divergent streams of reprogramming approaches. Remarkably, increasing studies have shown the power and advantages of small molecule-based approaches for cellular fate reprogramming, which could overcome the limitations of conventional transgenic-based reprogramming. In this concise review, we discuss these findings and highlight the future potentiality with particular focus on this new trend of chemical reprogramming.

  • Genome regulation at the peripheral zone: lamina associated domains in development and disease.

    abstract::The nuclear periphery has been implicated in gene regulation and it has been proposed that proximity to the nuclear lamina and inner nuclear membrane (INM) leads to gene repression.
