CAR-T Cell Therapy for Brain Tumors
One of the greatest challenges in treating brain tumors is finding an effective way to eliminate the entire disease, making sure no cancer cells are left behind, while minimizing damage to healthy brain tissue.
A new signaling system for blood regeneration
A group of researchers, led by HSCI Co-Director David Scadden, MD, has shown that bone cells pass packets of genetic material directly to bone progenitors, increasing blood production and stimulating the immune cells necessary to fight infection.
Cochlear organoids enable screening for hair cell regenerating drugs
Researchers from Nanjing University (PR China) have recently developed an organoid model for cochlear hair cell formation. This novel culture-based system can be used to identify regenerative therapies that promote hair growth – providing a new avenue of therapy for hearing loss.
Stem cell AI -- 'brain on a chip' project aims to revolutionize computing power
Revolutionary Neu-ChiP project will see scientists use human brain stem cells on microchips to push the boundaries of artificial intelligence (AI)
Muscle stem cells proliferate to produce new myofibers
A research collaboration based in Kumamoto University, Japan has discovered that muscles and the resident stem cells (satellite cells) responsible for muscle regeneration retain memory of their location in the body.
