Thus, upon activation by ActD, AKT becomes an inducer of p53 tumor suppression instead of being a survival factor, as consistently shown in human embryonic kidney cell lines (293 and 293T), human hepatoma cell line (HepG2), and mouse hepatoma cell line (Hepa - 1c1c7). (oncotarget.com)
By transferring the gene for melanopsin into human embryonic kidney cells, synthetic biologist Martin Fussenegger of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich and colleagues made these cells light - sensitive as well. (sciencemag.org)
Martin Fussenegger and colleagues at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich created biological versions of two key digital circuits inside two sets of embryonic kidney cells: a half adder and half subtractor. (newscientist.com)
