Generation of functional cells and organs from iPSCs
The development of induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) technology may be the most important advance in stem cell biology for the future of medicine. This technology allows one to generate…
In Utero Model to Assess the Fate of Transplanted Human Cells for Translational Research and Pediatric Therapies
nfants with inherited blood diseases (such as sickle cell anemia, thalassemia, bleeding disorders) or other inherited metabolic disorders can be identified early in development using sophisticated diagnostic tests. Currently, the…
Mouse Models for Stem Cell Therapeutic Development
Stem cells have tremendous potential for treating human diseases, as they have the unique capacity to develop into any cell type in the body and to proliferate indefinitely. The development…
Developing induced pluripotent stem cells into human therapeutics and disease models
Human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) can undergo unlimited self-renewal and differentiate into all the cell types in the human body, and thus hold great promise for cell replacement therapy. However,…
Using patient-specific iPSC derived dopaminergic neurons to overcome a major bottleneck in Parkinson’s disease research and drug discovery
The goals of this study are to develop patient-specific induced pluripotent cell lines (iPSCs) from patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD) with defined mutations and sporadic forms of the disease. Recent…
Generation of disease models for neurodegenerative disorders in hESCs by gene targeting
The ability to target a specific locus in the mouse genome and to alter it in a specific fashion has fundamentally changed experimental design and made mice the preeminent model…
