Regulating Cells With Designed Proteins
ISCRM researchers have developed a tool to selectively control the PRC2 complex – an epigenetic regulator that influences cell fate across multiple stages of development. That tool is a computer-designed protein binder engineered in partnership with the Institute for Protein Design (IPD). Read More
Spotlight
For many years, efforts to remuscularize injured hearts have been stymied by engraftment arrhythmias that can cause the heart to beat too quickly. In a promising breakthrough, researchers in the Murry Lab have discovered a combination of gene edits that quelled the irregular heartbeats in lab animals. Listen to ISCRM Director Chuck Murry discuss the findings and what they could mean for patients in the future.
