Stem cells found in the lungs can be redirected to the heart using a new inhaled antibody therapy to help boost healing following a heart attack.
Bioelectronic device achieves unprecedented control of cell membrane voltage
Driven by a machine learning algorithm, the closed-loop biohybrid device maintained a set membrane voltage in human stem cells for 10 hours.
Automated Large-Scale Production of Retinal Organoids
A protocol for generating retinal organoids from human pluripotent stem cells that contain all major retinal cell types.
Decoding Pluripotency Using Genetic Screening
Pluripotent stem cells have the ability to unlimitedly self‐renew and differentiate to any somatic cell lineage.
Delivering Stroke Therapeutics to the Brain
Neuronal stem cells used to smuggle therapeutics into the brain.
Along The Way: Combining RNA-Seq and Lineage Tracing to Map Developmental Lineage Trajectories
In their review published in BioEssays, Russell Fletcher, Diya Das and John Ngai discuss how the integration of lineage tracing with data obtained from single-cell RNA-sequencing can provide insights into how stem cells differentiate.
Gold-based Nanoscaffold for Peripheral Nerve Injuries [Video]
Shanghai Jiao Tong University researchers design a novel nerve guidance conduit for peripheral nerve regeneration. The performance of the polydopamine-coated, gold polycaprolactone nanoscaffold is enhanced when loaded with bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells and Schwann cells.
Quantification of Epithelial Cell Proliferation, Cell Dynamics and Cell Kinetics In Vivo
A review of methods that can be applied to study the control of proliferation (and the proliferative hierarchy, especially the role of the elusive stem cells) in a wide variety of animal models.
Growing bone with virus nanoparticles
Topography of plant virus nanoparticles has been shown to influence osteogenesis of bone derived mesenchymal stem cells.
Dimension Determines Biocompatibility of Graphite Oxide Nanoparticles
A team from Stanford University has investigated the effects of graphite oxide nanoparticles on mouse embryonic stem cells.
