Research Objective To integrate emulsion microfluidics-based encapsulation with AI-powered imaging to develop a high-throughput pipeline for stem cell-based embryo models. Impact We will overcome key bottlenecks to drive breakthroughs in…
Research Objective This research will define the dynamic mechanisms of human embryo implantation by integrating live imaging, spatial multi-omics, and gene editing in physiologically relevant stem cell-based models. Impact This…
Research Objective Study the neurological disorder Rett syndrome using neurons derived from genetically engineered human pluripotent stem cells and develop platforms to screen drugs for this disease in live cells.…
Research Objective The research objectives are to identify causal genes for chemotherapy-induced mitochondrial toxicity and neurodegeneration in sensory neurons and drugs that target this toxicity. Impact These studies will open…
Research Objective We will generate nanoprobe-containing stem cell-derived human beta cells that can be monitored in real time in response to inflammatory stress upon transplantation in patients with type 1…
Research Objective This project aims to develop a sensitive and non-invasive method for tracking stem cells in clinical trial, without the need for genetically engineered reporters or long-lived radioisotopes. Impact…
Stem cell technologies hold great promise for engineering replacement tissues for repairing functional loss from trauma or disease. Such therapies are particularly important for replacing bone and cartilage in the…
Current vascular replacement materials are far from ideal, with all available biomaterials exhibiting significant clinical complications. The development of novel biocompatible decellularized vascular grafts holds great promise for functional restoration…
Clinical application of cell transplantation therapy requires a means of non-invasively monitoring these cells in the patient. Several imaging modalities, including MRI, bioluminescence imaging, and positron emission tomography have been…
One of your earliest childhood biology lessons probably occurred when your body demonstrated to you that your skin is an organ that is able to self-regenerate. Indeed wound healing is…
