Research Objective A lead therapeutic candidate will be selected: 1) exosomes from hypoxia-injured iPSC-derived cardiomyocytes (iCMs), 2) exosomal miRNA cluster, and 3) siRNA inhibition of exosomal target gene, Notch3. Impact…
Research Objective These preclinical studies will discover the efficacy of stem cell-derived, nanoscale, extracellular vesicles (candidate) to treat adverse effects of cancer therapy on brain function and cognition. Impact Stem…
Research Objective We propose to generate NK cells with enhanced immunity from gene-edited human PSCs and use the resultant NK cells to kill SARS-CoV-2-infected cells to combat against COVID-19. Impact…
Research Objective We propose to investigate the transplantation of pluripotent stem cell derived microglia as a potential therapy for the devastating neurological disease; Adult-onset leukoencephalopathy (ALSP/HDLS). Impact The most immediately…
Research Objective Functional human islet like organoids differentiated from human pluripotent stem cells. Impact Providing the immediate cell therapeutic candidate for clinical trial of diabetic patients. Major Proposed Activities Fabrication…
Research Objective Development of immune tolerant human islet-like organoids for transplantation into diabetic patients. Impact Our proposal will progress the development of an unlimited, reproducible source of immune tolerant engineered…
Research Objective We propose a platform to generate transplantable thymus organoids derived from human pluripotent stem cells designed to treat severe immunodeficiencies in children affected by 22q11 DS Impact Our…
Research Objective We will 1) identify non-invasive bladder cancer patients with (pre)cancerous urothelium by single-cell RNA-seq and 2) replace this dangerous lesion with normal hESC-derived bladder progenitors. Impact Replacement of…
Research Objective We propose to develop a cell encapsulation technology to support the long term viability and function of human stem cell derived insulin producing cells. Impact A device that…
Research Objective We will molecularly and functionally define muscle stem cells in human muscle in development, juvenile and adult and develop strategies to generate the most regenerative muscle stem cells…
