Heart failure is a leading cause of mortality in California and the United States. Currently, there are no “cures” for heart failure.Other life threatening forms of heart disease include dysfunction…
This work is directly relevant to human embryonic stem cell (hESC) research because it brings new ideas about novel compounds to affect cardiomyogenesis. The work addresses an urgent need to…
The adult human heart contains small numbers of cardiac stem cells that are able to partially repair the heart following a heart attack or throughout the course of progressive heart…
For the millions of Americans who are born with or develop heart disease, stem cell research offers the first hope of reversing or repairing heart muscle damage. Thus, early reports…
The goal of this project is to support the discovery and evaluation of novel therapeutics using stem cell-based models and drug and CRISPR screening. The facility will provide California researchers…
Our Shared Resource Laboratory will expand access to stem cell-derived models to support research and educational programs with two main goals: democratize access to state-of-the-art models and technology among a…
Research Objective Develop a high-throughput platform combining iPSC-derived cardiac organoids and CRISPR base editing to functionally assess missense variants in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Impact (i) Limited tools for functional interpretation of…
Research Objective We are building a foundational platform for developing genome editing technologies that increase patient coverage by 20-40X and can be applied to over 700 genetic diseases in diverse…
