Journal ArticleDOI
Exosome engineering for efficient intracellular delivery of soluble proteins using optically reversible protein–protein interaction module
Nambin Yim,Seung-Wook Ryu,Kyungsun Choi,Kwang Ryeol Lee,Seung-Hee Lee,Hojun Choi,Jeongjin Kim,Mohammed R. Shaker,Woong Sun,Ji-Ho Park,Daesoo Kim,Won Do Heo,Chulhee Choi +12 more
TL;DR: A new tool for intracellular delivery of target proteins, named ‘exosomes for protein loading via optically reversible protein–protein interactions’ (EXPLORs), which is able to successfully load cargo proteins into newly generated exosomes using optogenetic control of protein-protein interactions between the cargo and an exosome-localized partner.
Journal ArticleDOI
Adaptive roles of programmed cell death during nervous system development.
TL;DR: The programmed cell death of developing cells is considered an essential adaptive process that evolved to serve diverse roles and perturb (inhibit) PCD is reviewed to determine the possible repercussions for nervous system development and function.
Journal ArticleDOI
Complete dissociation of motor neuron death from motor dysfunction by Bax deletion in a mouse model of ALS.
Thomas W. Gould,Robert R. Buss,Sharon Vinsant,David Prevette,Woong Sun,C. Michael Knudson,Carol Milligan,Ronald W. Oppenheim +7 more
TL;DR: The idea that clinical symptoms in the SOD1 G93A model of ALS result specifically from damage to the distal motor axon and not from activation of the death pathway is supported, and doubt is cast on the utility of anti-apoptotic therapies to combat ALS.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rapid induction and long-term self-renewal of primitive neural precursors from human embryonic stem cells by small molecule inhibitors
Wenlin Li,Woong Sun,Yu Zhang,Wanguo Wei,Rajesh Ambasudhan,Peng Xia,Maria Talantova,Tongxiang Lin,Janghwan Kim,Xiaolei Wang,Woon Ryoung Kim,Stuart A. Lipton,Kang Zhang,Kang Zhang,Sheng Ding,Sheng Ding +15 more
TL;DR: This work uniformly captures and maintains primitive neural stem cells from hESCs that can stably self-renew in the presence of leukemia inhibitory factor, GSK3 inhibitor, and TGF-β receptor inhibitor and exhibit in vivo integration.
Journal ArticleDOI
Adrenal peripheral clock controls the autonomous circadian rhythm of glucocorticoid by causing rhythmic steroid production
Gi Hoon Son,Sooyoung Chung,Han Kyoung Choe,Hee-Dae Kim,Sun-Mee Baik,Han-Kyu Lee,Han Woong Lee,Sukwoo Choi,Woong Sun,Hyun Kim,Se-Hyung Cho,Kun Ho Lee,Kyungjin Kim +12 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that the adrenal peripheral clock plays an essential role in harmonizing the mammalian circadian timing system by generating a robust circadian GC rhythm.
