Stimulation of resident cells by NF-kappa B activating cytokines is a central element of inflammatory and degenerative disorders of the central nervous system (CNS). This disease-mediated NF-kappa B activation could be used to drive transgene expression se ...
Transient gene expression (TGE) is a rapid method for the production of recombinant proteins. Recently, valproic acid (VPA), a well known histone deacetylase inhibitor, has been suggested for the use in cell cultures to enhance recombinant protein expressi ...
Despite the establishment of design principles to optimize codon choice for heterologous expression vector design, the relationship between codon sequence and final protein yield remains poorly understood. In this work, we present a computational framework ...
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) comprise a large set of short noncoding RNAs that bind to messenger RNAs (mRNAs) to reduce their translation into functional proteins. Computational prediction of miRNA targets is the first stage in the discovery and validation of new re ...
Cell organization into functional multicellular three-dimensional structures is a long-standing challenge. In particular, engineering of vascularized tissues requires both blood and lymphatic neovascular network formation in a simultaneous and coordinated ...
Translation is a central cellular process and the complexity of its mechanism necessitates mathematical frameworks to better understand system properties and make quantitative predictions. We have developed a gene sequence-specific mechanistic model for tr ...
