Kavli Affiliate: Hana El-Samad | Authors: Zara Y. Weinberg, Sarah S. Soliman, Matthew S. Kim, Irene P. Chen, Melanie Ott and Hana El-Samad | Summary: Synthetic and chimeric receptors capable of recognizing and responding to user-defined antigens have enabled “smart” therapeutics based on engineered cells. These cell engineering tools depend on antigen sensors which are […]
Kavli Affiliate: Yifan Cheng | Authors: Hayden S Saunders, Un Seng Chio, Camille M Moore, Vijay Ramani, Yifan Cheng and Geeta Narlikar | Summary: Summary: The essential architectural protein HMGB1 increases accessibility of nucleosomal DNA and counteracts the effects of linker histone H1. However, HMGB1 is less abundant than H1 and binds nucleosomes more weakly […]
