GENERATION OF DISEASE-SPECIFIC AND CRISPR/CAS9-MEDIATED GENE-CORRECTED IPS CELLS FROM A PATIENT WITH ADULT PROGERIA WERNER SYNDROME

Generation of disease-specific and CRISPR/Cas9-mediated gene-corrected iPS cells from a patient with adult progeria Werner syndrome

Adult progeria Werner syndrome (WS), a rare autosomal recessive disorder, is characterized by accelerated aging symptoms after puberty.The causative gene, WRN, is a member of the RecQ DNA helicase Tobacco family and is predominantly involved in DNA replication, repair, and Coverless Duvet telomere maintenance.Here, we report the generation of iPS c

Expression of genome defence protein members in proliferating and quiescent rat male germ cells and the Nuage dynamics.

During epigenetic reprogramming germ cells activate alternative mechanisms to maintain the repression retrotransposons.This mechanism involves the recruitment of genome defence proteins such as MAEL, PIWIL4 and TDRD9, which associate with piRNAs and promote Line-1 silencing.MAEL, PIWIL4 and TDRD9 form the piP-bodies, which organization and dynamics
