Etsrp/ER71 mediated stem cell differentiation into vascular lineage
Human embryonic stem cells (hESC) have the potential to differentiate into all of the cell types that make up the body. Therefore, hESCs are promising tools for the treatment of…
Understanding the role of LRRK2 in iPSC cell models of Parkinson’s Disease
The goal of this research is to utilize novel research tools to investigate the molecular mechanisms that cause Parkinson’s disease (PD). The proposed work builds on previous funding from CIRM…
Identifying sources of mutation in human induced pluripotent stem cells by whole genome sequencing
Stem cell research offers new tools to help treat and cure diseases that affect diverse cells types in the body such as neurological diseases, heart disease and diabetes by producing…
Ubiquitin-dependent control of hESC self-renewal and expansion
Human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) or induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) provide an invaluable resource for regenerative medicine and disease modeling. To be able to use these cells in the…
Forming the Hematopoietic Niche from Human Pluripotent Stem Cells
The clinical potential of pluripotent stem cells for use in regenerative medicine will be realized only when the process by which tissues are generated from these cells is significantly more…
Biological relevance of microRNAs in hESC differentiation to endocrine pancreas
There remains an urgent and critical need for a cell-based cure of diabetes, one of the most costly diseases in California. Islet transplantation with persistent immune suppression has shown promise…
Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells for Tissue Regeneration
Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) have tremendous potential for patient-specific cell therapies, which bypasses immune rejection issues and ethical concerns for embryonic stem cells (ESCs). However, to fully harness the…
Tri-resolution Visualization System for Stem Cells and Tissue Regeneration Monitoring
The 3D imaging techniques of CT and MRI have virtually eliminated the need for exploratory surgery – a procedure which was common in difficult cases just 20-30 years ago. Not…
Pluripotent and Somatic Stem Cell Models to Study Inherited Diarrheal Disorders
Our research group at [REDACTED] has had a long-standing interest in understanding the cause of several disorders that result in severe, and often times fatal forms of diarrhea in children.…
Engineering microscale tissue constructs from human pluripotent stem cells
Tissues derived from stem cells can serve multiple purposes to enhance biomedical therapies. Human tissues engineered from stem cells hold tremendous potential to serve as better substrates for the discovery…
