Research Objective The objective of the proposed studies is to determine which of our excipient components are necessary for survival and neuronal differentiation of our clinical cell candidate therapy for…
Research Objective We propose to develop a bio-tendon engineered from differentiated pluripotent stem cells for the repair of tendon injuries and degeneration. Impact Rotator cuff tears are the most common…
Research Objective We aim to discover an injectable, rejuvenating treatment for painful intervertebral disc degeneration using microtissue-encapsulated iPSC-derived notochordal cells (iNCs) using large animal model Impact Our treatment candidate may…
Research Objective We seek to develop a cell based-hydrogel therapy to improve outcomes in patients with muscle degeneration. The technology will improve muscle through sustained release of cell-based cytokines. Impact…
Research Objective Stem cells are seeded into fibers spun out of collagen to fabricate tissue that resembles the knee meniscus Impact Meniscal tears are very common but do not heal.…
Research Objective Articular paste graft containing MSCs and an adhesive hydrogel that support cartilage growth will be combined for an effective and functional stem cell based cartilage repair procedure. Impact…
Research Objective We propose to develop and validate a therapy for spinal cord injuries in which human stem cell-derived neural cells is injected into the injured spinal cord using an…
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 We propose to utilize human neural stem cells to form neuronal relays across sites of severe SCI, restoring function across the site of spinal cord injury. Impact We…
Research Objective We aim to develop an angiogenic proteoglycan mimic that will protect tissue from rapid degradation, and in conjunction with EPCs promote angiogenesis in order to accelerate ischemic wound…
