CURRENT RESEARCH: Engineering self-reporting stem cells using Oct-4 promoter.
CONTACT: irene (dot) tsung (at) case (dot) edu
Using the Oct-4 promoter, we
can generate an embryonic stem cell clone which can activate RFP when
cells are undifferentiated and deactivate the protein upon
differentiation into specific cells.
