KAIST Finds a Way to Redirect Cell Fate with Just a Single Stimulus

[Fig. 4] Results of applying NUDGE to real biological networks
Professor Kwang-Hyun Cho's team applied NUDGE to a range of biological networks, including cardiomyocyte differentiation, mast cell fate determination, and anti-inflammatory macrophage polarization. The framework precisely reproduced previously known key regulators (such as MESP1 in cardiomyocytes), resolved a controversy involving conflicting experimental results (the roles of GATA1/GATA2 in mast cells) within a single dynamical framework, and proposed strategies (such as IL-4 in macrophages) for modulating inflammation while preserving the diversity of immune responses.
