Regenerating tissues with gene-targeting molecules
Ganesh Pandian Namasivayam and his colleagues at Kyoto University’s Institute for Integrated Cell-Material Sciences (iCeMS) in Japan constructed a synthetic molecule that can recognize and bind with a specific DNA sequence involved in the differentiation of hiPSCs into mesoderm, an intermediary cell type that can be stimulated into changing into heart muscle cells.
