      Efficient strategies for precise genome editing in human-induced pluripotent cells (hiPSCs) will enable sophisticated genome engineering for research and clinical purposes. The development of programmable sequence-specific ...
    • Precise let-7 expression levels balance organ regeneration against tumor suppression 

      Wu, Linwei; Nguyen, Liem H; Zhou, Kejin; de Soysa, T Yvanka; Li, Lin; Miller, Jason B; Tian, Jianmin; Locker, Joseph; Zhang, Shuyuan; Shinoda, Gen; Seligson, Marc T; Zeitels, Lauren R; Acharya, Asha; Wang, Sam C; Mendell, Joshua T; He, Xiaoshun; Nishino, Jinsuke; Morrison, Sean J; Siegwart, Daniel J; Daley, George Q; Shyh-Chang, Ng; Zhu, Hao (eLife Sciences Publications, Ltd, 2015)
      The in vivo roles for even the most intensely studied microRNAs remain poorly defined. Here, analysis of mouse models revealed that let-7, a large and ancient microRNA family, performs tumor suppressive roles at the expense ...
    • Regulation of Stem Cell Metabolism by the Lin28/let-7 Axis 

      Ng, Shyh Chang (2014-02-25)
      My PhD thesis is focused on two fundamental aspects of stem cell metabolism: (1) the role of Lin28 in programming stem cell metabolism, and (2) how metabolism in turn fuels and governs pluripotency. Our studies led us to ...
    • Reprogramming of T Cells From Human Peripheral Blood 

      Loh, Yuin-Han; Hartung, Odelya; Li, Hu; Guo, Chunguang; Sahalie, Julie M.; Manos, Philip D.; Urbach, Achia; Heffner, Garrett C.; Grskovic, Marica; Vigneault, Francois; Lensch, Willy; Park, In-Hyun; Agarwal, Suneet; Church, George; Collins, James; Irion, Stefan; Daley, George (Elsevier BV, 2010-07-02)
    • Reprogramming Pediatric Genetic Disorders: Pearson Syndrome, Ring 14 Syndrome, and Fanconi Anemia 

      Cherry, Anne Blanche Cresswell (2014-06-06)
      The effect of a single genetic mutation can vary greatly between different types of cells. The mutated gene may not be expressed in one tissue but may cause a devastating loss of function in another. To learn about disease ...
