Methods, Compositions And Kits For Modulating Trans-Differentiation Of Muscle Satellite Cells

US Patent:
2014000, Jan 2, 2014
Filed:
Jul 11, 2013
Appl. No.:
13/939367
Inventors:
Dana M. Cairns - Quincy MA, US
International Classification:
C07K 14/475
G01N 33/68
C12Q 1/68
US Classification:
424 92, 514 165, 435 34, 435 613, 435 612, 435 71, 435 74, 530350, 536 235, 536 245
Abstract:
Compositions, methods and kits are provided for modulating the trans-differentiation of cells for example muscle satellite cells. The compositions, methods and kits include a modulator of trans-differentiation of the muscle satellite cells selected from the group of: a transcription factor, a nucleic acid sequence or vector encoding expression of the transcription factor, and an agent that binds to the transcription factor. The transcription factor is selected for example from a homeodomain class transcription factor such as Nkx3.2 and a TATA binding protein class transcription factor such as Sox9, and includes at least one nucleotide binding-domain, so that the transcription factor modulates the process of trans-differentiation of the cells or tissue to form a phenotype selected from: cartilage, muscle, and bone.

Innervated Artificial Intestine Compositions

US Patent:
2019030, Oct 3, 2019
Filed:
Jul 11, 2017
Appl. No.:
16/317456
Inventors:
- Medford MA, US
Ying Chen - Winchester MA, US
Wenda Zhou - Cambridge MA, US
Dana Cairns - Somerville MA, US
Fiorenzo G. Omenetto - Lexington MA, US
Eleana Manousiouthakis - Los Angeles CA, US
International Classification:
C12N 5/071
C12N 5/00
C12N 5/077
Abstract:
The present invention provides, among other things, compositions including a plurality of enterocytes, a plurality of fibroblasts, a plurality of Goblet cells, a plurality of Paneth cells, a plurality of enteroendocrine cells, and a silk fibroin scaffold, wherein the composition exhibits one or more of tight junction formation, microvilli polarization, digestive enzyme secretion, and low oxygen tension and methods of making and using the same. In some embodiments, the composition exhibits one or more of tight junction maintenance, maintenance of microvilli polarization, digestive enzyme secretion, and low oxygen tension for at least 10 days.
