Use of in vivo phage display to engineer novel adenoviruses for targeted delivery to the cardiac vasculature [PDF]
, 2009 We performed in vivo phage display in the stroke prone spontaneously hypertensive rat, a cardiovascular disease model, and the normotensive Wistar Kyoto rat to identify cardiac targeting peptides, and then assessed each in the context of viral gene ...

Non-Canonical Thinking for Targeting ALK-Fusion Onco-Proteins in Lung Cancer. [PDF]
, 2017 Anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) gene rearrangements have been identified in lung cancer at 3-7% frequency, thus representing an important subset of genetic lesions that drive oncogenesis in this disease. Despite the availability of multiple FDA-approved

Co-targeting RNA Polymerases IV and V Promotes Efficient De Novo DNA Methylation in Arabidopsis. [PDF]
, 2019 The RNA-directed DNA methylation (RdDM) pathway in plants controls gene expression via cytosine DNA methylation. The ability to manipulate RdDM would shed light on the mechanisms and applications of DNA methylation to control gene expression.

Therapeutic gene targeting [PDF]
Gene Therapy, 1998 Gene targeting is the use of homologous recombination to make defined alterations to the genome. One of the possible outcomes of gene targeting is the accurate correction of genetic defects, and this would make it the ideal method of gene therapy for single gene disorder.

Design of double-walled carbon nanotubes for biomedical applications [PDF]
, 2012 Double-walled carbon nanotubes (DWNTs) prepared by catalytic chemical vapour deposition were functionalized in such a way that they were optimally designed as a nano-vector for the delivery of small interfering RNA (siRNA), which is of great interest for

Phosphorylation of CENP-A on serine 7 does not control centromere function [PDF]
, 2019 CENP-A is the histone H3 variant necessary to specify the location of all eukaryotic centromeres via its CENP-A targeting domain and either one of its terminal regions.

The natural dietary genistein boosts bacteriophage-mediated cancer cell killing by improving phage-targeted tumor cell transduction [PDF]
, 2016 Gene therapy has long been regarded as a promising treatment for cancer. However, cancer gene therapy is still facing the challenge of targeting gene delivery vectors specifically to tumors when administered via clinically acceptable non-invasive ...

In planta gene targeting [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2012 The development of designed site-specific endonucleases boosted the establishment of gene targeting (GT) techniques in a row of different species. However, the methods described in plants require a highly efficient transformation and regeneration procedure and, therefore, can be applied to very few species.

Transposon variants and their effects on gene expression in arabidopsis [PDF]
, 2013 Transposable elements (TEs) make up the majority of many plant genomes. Their transcription and transposition is controlled through siRNAs and epigenetic marks including DNA methylation.

Chimeric nucleases stimulate gene targeting in human cells [PDF]
, 2002 Gene targeting is a powerful technique to introduce genetic change into the genome of eukaryotic cells. It is widely used to create defined mutations in murine embryonic stem cells and theoretically could be used to create or repair mutations in ...
