  • METHODS AND COMPOSITIONS FOR GENERATING SELF ATTENUATING GENETIC CIRCUITRY
    Publication number: 20120100604
    Abstract: The invention provides compositions and methods for engineering self-attenuating circuitry in a cell that provides an optimal homeostasis between TGF-?/pSmad and Notch signaling to produce the long-term restoration of tissue regenerative potential and repair.

  • Methods and compositions for regeneration of aged tissues
    Publication number: 20050208027
    Abstract: The regenerative potential of aged stem cells is enhanced by activation of the Notch signaling pathway and/or inhibition of TGF-? signaling pathway. Stem cells in aged tissues are capable of proliferation and tissue regeneration, but in their native setting are not provided with the appropriate signals to do so. By administering tissue regenerating agents, organ stem/progenitor cells are provided with the appropriate signals to regenerate the corresponding differentiated tissues.
