The advancements of single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) technologies have provided us unprecedented opportunities to characterize cellular states and investigate the mechanisms of complex diseases. Due to technical issues such as dropout events, s...
Restoring gene function by the induced skipping of deleterious exons has been shown to be effective for treating genetic disorders. However, many of the clinically successful therapies for exon skipping are transient oligonucleotide-based treatments ...
Neuronal replacement therapies rely on the differentiation of specific cell types from embryonic or induced pluripotent stem cells, or on the direct reprogramming of differentiated adult cells via the expression of transcription factors or signaling...
The use of human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), used as an alternative to human embryonic stem cells (ESCs), is a potential solution to challenges, such as immune rejection, and does not involve the ethical issues concerning the use of ESCs ...

The integration of muscle cells with soft robotics in recent years has led to the development of biohybrid machines capable of untethered locomotion. A major frontier that currently remains unexplored is neuronal actuation and control of such muscle-...
To initiate X-Chromosome inactivation (XCI), the long noncoding RNA mediates chromosome-wide gene silencing of one X Chromosome in female mammals to equalize gene dosage between the sexes. The efficiency of gene silencing is highly variable across g...
BACKGROUND: N6-methyladensine (m6A) is a common and abundant RNA methylation modification found in various species. As a type of post-transcriptional methylation, m6A plays an important role in diverse RNA activities such as alternative splicing, an ...
We introduce a label-free method to rapidly phenotype and classify cells purely based on physical properties. We extract 15 biophysical parameters from cells as they deform in a microfluidic stretching flow field via high-speed microscopy and apply m...
Epigenetic factors are known to correlate with gene expression in the existing studies. However, quantitative models that accurately classify the highly and lowly expressed genes based on epigenetic factors are currently lacking. In this study, a new...
