Sequential Activation of Guide RNAs to Enable Successive CRISPR-Cas9 Activities.

Currently, either highly multiplexed genetic manipulations can be delivered to mammalian cells all at once or extensive engineering of gene regulatory sequences can be used to conditionally activate a few manipulations. Here, we provide proof of principle for a new system enabling multiple genetic manipulations to be executed as a preprogrammed cascade of events. The system leverages the programmability of the S.

Connecting Local and Global Sensitivities in a Mathematical Model for Wound Healing.

The process of wound healing is governed by complex interactions between proteins and the extracellular matrix, involving a range of signaling pathways. This study aimed to formulate, quantify, and analyze a mathematical model describing interactions among matrix metalloproteinases (MMP-1), their inhibitors (TIMP-1), and extracellular matrix in the healing of a diabetic foot ulcer. De-identified patient data for modeling were taken from Muller et al.
