Research Objective Intramuscular delivery of 2 repurposed FDA approved drugs to activate diaphragm stem cells to augment regeneration and restore strength to COVID-19 patients with diaphragm atrophy from ventilation. Impact…
Research Objective A vaccine to help prevent COVID-19 Impact There is a clear need for a vaccine to prevent the spread of the COVID-19 coronavirus that is effective, can be…
Research Objective Alveolar type II cells are the stem cells of the lung, and they are killed by SARS-CoV-2. We will determine if a novel PIKFYVE kinase inhibitor prevents SARS-CoV-2…
Research Objective The objective of this project is to develop an injectable biomaterial platform that can induce TMSCs and boost immunoactivation to vaccines against SARS-CoV-2, which will help protect elderly…
Research Objective The objective is to screen a series of aminoadamantane nitrate compounds for their ability to protect hiPSC-derived neurons from SARS-CoV-2-related damage and to block SARS-CoV-2 activity. Impact If…
Research Objective We will identify SAR-CoV-2 T cell epitopes for vaccine development and specific TCRs for adoptive T cell therapy using a stem cell-based platform to generate specialized dendritic cells…
Research Objective We propose to use a lung stem cell based organoid to identify a new compound for COVID-19 by screening a library of FDA approved compounds that could be…
Research Objective This proposal will develop a cell-based therapy that can restore vision in retinal degeneration associated blindness such as Stargardt disease and age-related macular degeneration. Impact Chemically induced method…
Research Objective This DISC2 tests a strategy to target survival and self-renewal in glioma stem cells (GSC), and will identify a therapeutic candidate for safety, dosing and efficacy testing. Impact…
Research Objective Allogeneic Human induced pluripotent stem cells-derived inhibitory interneuron therapy product encapsulated in a hyaluronan/VEGF nanoparticle hydrogel for the treatment of stroke Impact Previous stem cell-based technologies had poor…
