14 Results for "chromatin damage" in MCE Product Catalog:
In this era of rapid advancement in gene-editing technology, the CRISPR-Cas system, with its powerful programmability, is leading a transformation in life sciences research. It enables efficient and precise targeted modification of an organism's genome, providing a robust tool for studying gene function, treating genetic diseases, and improving crop varieties. However, bottlenecks such as insufficient editing efficiency, low homologous directed repair efficiency, and potential off-target risks remain major challenges in achieving precise genetic modifications and developing gene therapies.
To overcome these limitations, the MCE High-Efficiency Gene Editing Compound Library systematically includes 761 small molecules that are known or have the potential to enhance gene-editing efficiency. These compounds work by targeting and modulating the DNA damage repair network, mechanistically inhibiting non-homologous end joining, promoting homologous directed repair, or regulating chromatin states and cellular responses, thereby significantly optimizing editing outcomes. This library is suitable for developing "CRISPR-small molecule" combination therapy strategies, improving gene-editing efficiency, and providing a powerful tool for in-depth research into the mechanisms of DNA damage repair in gene editing.
A histone modification, a covalent post-translational modification (PTM) to histone proteins, includes methylation, phosphorylation, acetylation, ubiquitylation, and sumoylation, etc. In general, histone modifications are catalyzed by specific enzymes that act predominantly at the histone N-terminal tails involving amino acids such as lysine or arginine, as well as serine, threonine, tyrosine, etc. The PTMs made to histones can impact gene expression by altering chromatin structure or recruiting histone modifiers. Histone modifications act in diverse biological processes such as transcriptional activation/inactivation, chromosome packaging, and DNA damage/repair. Deregulation of histone modification contributes to many diseases, including cancer and autoimmune diseases.
MCE owns a unique collection of 924 bioactive compounds targeting Epigenetic Reader Domain, HDAC, Histone Acetyltransferase, Histone Demethylase, Histone Methyltransferase, Sirtuin, etc. Histone Modification Research Compound Library is a useful tool for histone modification research and drug screening.
Diabetes mellitus, usually called diabetes, is a group of metabolic disorders characterized by a high blood sugar level over a prolonged period of time. The most common types are Type I and Type II. Type I diabetes (T1D), also called juvenile onset diabetes mellitus or insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, is characterized by destruction of the β-cells of the pancreas and insulin is not produced, whereas type II diabetes (T2D), also called non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, is characterized by a progressive impairment of insulin secretion and relative decreased sensitivity of target tissues to the action of this hormone. Type 2 diabetes accounts for the vast majority of all diabetes mellitus. Diabetes of all types can lead to complications in many parts of the body and can increase the overall risk of dying prematurely. Possible complications include kidney failure, leg amputation, vision loss and nerve damage.
The pathogenesis of diabetes is complicated, and development of the safe and effective drugs against diabetes is full of challenge. Increasing studies have confirmed that the pathogenesis of diabetes is related to various signaling pathways, such as insulin signaling pathway, AMPK pathway, PPAR regulation and chromatin modification pathways. These signaling pathways have thus become the major source of the promising novel drug targets to treat metabolic diseases and diabetes.
MCE Anti-diabetic Compound Library owns a unique collection of 1,156 compounds, which mainly target SGLT, PPAR, DPP-4, AMPK, Dipeptidyl Peptidase, Glucagon Receptor, etc. This library is a useful tool for discovery anti-diabetes drugs.
