Functional CRISPR dissection of gene networks controlling human regulatory T cell identity

Human regulatory T (Treg) cells are essential for immune homeostasis. The transcription factor FOXP3 maintains Treg cell identity, yet the complete set of key transcription factors that control Treg cell gene expression remains unknown....

NUDT21 limits CD19 levels through alternativemRNA polyadenylation in B cell acutelymphoblastic leukemia

B cell progenitor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) treatment has been revolutionized by T cell-based immunotherapies-including chimeric antigen receptor T cell therapy (CAR-T) and the bispecific T cell engager therapeutic, blinatumomab-targeting...

CRISPR/Cas9 mediated deletion of the adenosine A2A receptor enhances CAR T cell efficacy

Adenosine is an immunosuppressive factor that limits anti-tumor immunity through the suppression of multiple immune subsets including T cells via activation of the adenosine A2A receptor (A2AR). Using both murine and human chimeric antigen...

Generation of mesenchyme free intestinal organoids from human induced pluripotent stem cells

Efficient generation of human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC)-derived human intestinal organoids (HIOs) would facilitate the development of in vitro models for a variety of diseases that affect the gastrointestinal tract, such as inflammatory...

Phenotypic manifestation of a-synuclein strains derived from Parkinson's disease and multiple system atrophy in human dopaminergic neurons

a-Synuclein is critical in the pathogenesis of Parkinson’s disease and related disorders, yet it remains unclear how its aggregation causes degeneration of human dopaminergic neurons. In this study, we induced a-synuclein aggregation in human...

Reprogramming of human Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cell (PBMC) from a Chinese patient suffering Duchenne muscular dystrophy to iPSC line (SDQLCHi007-A) carrying deletion of 49-50 exons in the DMD gene

Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), an X-linked genetic disorder characterized by progressive muscle weakness and atrophies affecting skeletal and cardiac muscles, is caused by mutations in dystrophin (DMD) gene that spans 79 exons. Here, we generated...

High-throughput T cell receptor engineering by functional screening identifies candidates with enhanced potency and specificity

A major challenge in adoptive T cell immunotherapy is the discovery of natural T cell receptors (TCRs) with high activity and specificity to tumor antigens. Engineering synthetic TCRs for increased tumor antigen recognition is complicated...

CRISPR-Cas9-Mediated Gene Editing in Mouse Spermatogonial Stem Cells

Precise genome editing is a powerful tool for analysis of gene function. However, in spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs), this still remains a big challenge mainly due to low efficiency and complexity of currently available gene editing techniques. The...

Timed inhibition of CDC7 increases CRISPR-Cas9 mediated templated repair

Repair of double strand DNA breaks (DSBs) can result in gene disruption or gene modification via homology directed repair (HDR) from donor DNA. Altering cellular responses to DSBs may rebalance editing outcomes towards HDR and away from other repair...

An integration-free iPSC line (SDQLCHi017-A) derived from a patient with nemaline myopathy-2 disease carrying compound heterozygote mutations in NEB gene

Nemaline myopathy-2 (NEM2) is an autosomal recessive skeletal muscle disorder caused by mutations in the nebulin (NEB) gene. We report the generation and characterization of a human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) line SDQLCHi017-A, derived from...
