Cell Memory Erasure via Nucleic Acid Inactivation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing methods for altering cell properties often rely on mutagens, gene editing tools, or changing environmental conditions, which can be invasive and have limitations.
Innovation Solution
A method to control cell properties using products that inactivate or alter nucleic acid molecules (NAMACS, NAMACS-ANA, and TEZRs) without introducing genes, through treatments with DNA and RNA inactivating agents, under controlled growth conditions, to achieve specific cellular states like 'Cut', 'Zero', or 'Y' states.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If genes are introduced into cells by transformation or transduction, then new genetic information is added to cells, but the process becomes invasive and complex
Solution Approach 1:
The invention extracts and targets specific nucleic acid molecules (NAMACS, NAMACS-ANA, TEZRs) that carry genetic information or regulate gene expression. By using inactivating agents that specifically bind to and neutralize these molecules, the patent achieves genetic information control without introducing foreign genes or using complex gene editing machinery, thus resolving the contradiction between information modification and process complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces intermediary substances (inactivating agents such as antibodies, aptamers, or small molecules) that mediate the control of cellular properties by binding to target nucleic acids. These intermediaries enable precise regulation of gene expression and cellular behavior without direct genetic manipulation, simplifying the overall process while achieving the desired genetic information control
2Manufacturing precision
If genome editing molecules are introduced to cut and sew genes, then cell properties are changed, but the process requires special gene editing tools and is highly invasive
Solution Approach 1:
Instead of using molecules to cut and sew genes (active modification), the invention inactivates or alters existing nucleic acid molecules (passive control). By targeting NAMACS, NAMACS-ANA, and TEZRs with inactivating agents, the patent achieves cell property alteration through inhibition or modulation rather than invasive cutting and rejoining, thereby maintaining precision while reducing harm
Solution Approach 2:
The patent converts the potential harm of invasive gene editing into a beneficial approach by using inactivating agents that naturally bind to and neutralize target nucleic acids. This approach leverages the specificity of molecular recognition to achieve precise cell property control without the damaging effects of genomic cuts and repairs, turning a harmful invasive process into a benign regulatory mechanism
3Ease of operation
If environmental conditions are changed to control cell properties, then cell behavior is regulated, but the control is indirect and less precise
Solution Approach 1:
The invention applies local quality by targeting specific nucleic acid molecules (NAMACS, NAMACS-ANA, TEZRs) within the cell rather than changing overall environmental conditions. The inactivating agents bind specifically to these localized targets, enabling precise control of particular genetic functions or pathways while leaving the rest of the cellular environment unchanged, thus achieving both ease of operation and high precision
