CRISPRa-mediated FOXP3 gene upregulation in mammalian cells

Abstract Background Forkhead box P3+ (FOXP3 +) regulatory T cells (Tregs) are a subset of lymphocytes, critical for the maintenance of immune homeostasis. Loss-of-function mutations of the FOXP3 gene in animal models and humans results in loss of differentiation potential into Treg cells and are res...
