Limbal Stem Cells for Treatment of Corneal Blindness

Limbal stem cells have attracted a lot of interest in the field of regenerative medicine because of their unique ability to fully restore the whole cornea upon transplantation. Several important aspects of limbal stem cell biology are reviewed such as limbal stem cell identification, developmental origin and therapeutic potential.

Genetically-Encoded Iron-Associated Proteins as MRI Reporter

Genetically-Encoded Iron-Associated Proteins as MRI Reporter

Visualization of cells contributing to disease or cell therapy is critical for the success of regenerative medicine. Genetically encoded iron-associated proteins detectable with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can be utilized for cell tracking in the brain, heart, and cancer.

Photonic Crystals from Block Copolymer Brushes

Photonic Crystals from Block Copolymer Brushes

Grubbs and co-workers review developments in brush block copolymer (BBCP) self-assembly toward photonic crystal applications. In this rapidly developing field, questions regarding the conformation of BBCPs and the formation of new morphologies provide further research opportunities.
