CANCER TREATMENT THROUGH RLIP76 PARTIAL DEPLETION
Partial depletion of RLIP76 in p53 deficient living subject has shown many health benefits. In one embodiment, partical Rlip depletion is used to prevent or treat cancer in p53 deficient living subjects. In another embodiment, partial Rlip depletion is used for reversion of DNA-methylation abnormalities caused by the lack of p53 to normal in p53 deficient living subjects. In yet another embodiment, partial Rlip depletion is used in reduction of blood glucose, insulin-resistance, hyperlipidemina, or any combination thereof in p53 deficient living subjects. Methods of using liposome containing anti-sense nucleic acid or double stranded siRNA to partially deplete RLIP76 and thus treat p53 deficient subject are disclosed. The approaches described herein can be especially helpful in preventing cancer in Li-Fraumeni patients.
NOVEL CRISPR DNA TARGETING ENZYMES AND SYSTEMS
The disclosure describes novel systems, methods, and compositions for the manipulation of nucleic acids in a targeted fashion. The disclosure describes non-naturally occurring, engineered CRISPR systems, components, and methods for targeted modification of nucleic acids. Each system includes one or more protein components and one or more nucleic acid components that together target nucleic acids.
Nuclease-based RNA depletion
The present disclosure is related to methods and materials for depleting unwanted RNA species from a nucleic acid sample. In particular, the present disclosure describes how to remove unwanted rRNA, tRNA, mRNA or other RNA species that could interfere with the analysis, manipulation and study of target RNA molecules in a sample.
A METHOD FOR DEVELOPMENTALLY ACTIVATING A CELL
The claimed invention is directed towards equipment, methods and compositions involving application of an Electric field that are suitable for in vivo electroporation, in vitro application of an Electric field and the generation of developmentally-activated, totipotent, pluripotent, pluripotent-like, multipotent, and/or self-renewing cells which are capable of beginning to differentiate in culture into a variety of cell types and capable of further differentiation in vivo. The claimed invention is also directed towards the generation of desirable, differentiating somatic cell populations transplantable to animals or patients, to drug screening and drug discovery, cellular therapy, immunotherapy, gene therapy, tissue engineering, and the treatment of patients suffering from diseases that may be ameliorated by these methods. This invention also provides methods for preventing, treating, or retarding disease, for example, immunodeficiency virus (e.g. HIV-1, HIV-2, SIV, FIV, etc.) infection.
Method for introducing site-directed RNA mutation, target editing guide RNA used in the method and target RNA-target editing guide RNA complex
A method for inducing a site-directed RNA mutation is provided. The method includes repairing an RNA mutation by converting target adenosine, which is located at a target editing site of a target RNA, into inosine. The method for inducing a site-directed RNA mutation involves reacting the target RNA having a target adenosine with a target editing guide, which has been constructed so as to form a complementary strand with target RNA, to form a double-stranded complex, and converting the target adenosine to inosine by causing ADAR to act on the double-stranded complex, inducing A-to-I editing capability. The converted inosine is further translated into guanosine.
