  • TAP63 REGULATED ONCOGENIC LONG NON-CODING RNAS
    Publication number: 20240150841
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are 2 novel long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), TROLL-2 and TROLL-3. It is shown herein that lncRNAs TROLL-2 and TROLL-3, as well as their effector WDR26, are suitable targets for cancer therapies and can be used to make prognostic determinations about a cancer and determine if immune checkpoint inhibitors should be used to treat a cancer.

  • Generation of human induced pluripotent stem cells using nucleic acid sequences that inhibit ?-NP63 and DGCR8
    Patent number: 10195229
    Abstract: The present invention generally concerns particular methods and compositions for generation of induced pluripotent stem cells. In particular aspects, induced pluripotent stem cells are generated from adult somatic cells following downregulation of a particular gene of interest. In some embodiments, induced pluripotent stem cells are generated from keratinocytes upon downregulation of ?Np63 or DGCR8.
