CHST6 Mini Gene - CHST6 Expression Construct With Native Promoter (UCLA Case No. 2023-301)
UCLA researchers from the Department of Human Genetics and Department of Ophthalmology have developed a mini gene encoding a protein which is mutated in macular corneal dystrophy, leading to a potential gene therapy for this disorder. BACKGROUND: Macular corneal dystrophy (MCD) is a rare genetic disease caused by mutations in the CHST6 gene, which...

Method of Producing Immortalized Primary Human Keratinocytes for HPV Investigation, Testing of Therapeutics, and Skin Graft Generation
One of the major limitations of using cultured keratinocytes for research studies is that primary keratinocytes senesce after a few passages. Keratinocytes from specific anatomical sites are also difficult to culture. Scientists at the NIH have demonstrated that primary keratinocytes, from several anatomical sites, when treated with a small-molecule...
