Research Objective We will generate an RNA activation map of human stem cell derived microglia activation states following brain injury to then test a new gene-edited microglia peptide delivery mechanism.…
Research Objective To define a new reference for embryos and stem cell lines of the highest developmental potential and work towards a trophoblast stem cell model to study factors important…
Research Objective Our work will reveal an essential pathway that establishes precise levels of the OCT4 transcription factor and protects stem cell identity despite genetic or environmental stress. Impact Our…
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 To test of exosomes (a tiny vesicle produced by stem cells) can be used to treat brain injuries rather than having to use the entire cell. Impact Not…
Research Objective This study will use high throughput single-cell capture and next-generation sequencing technologies to resolve the composition of an emerging neuronal cell therapy product. Impact If successful, this study…
Research Objective Our primary objective is to develop novel culture conditions for pluripotent stem cells that result in easier maintenance, lower-cost distribution and enhanced quality. Impact Our method ensures easy…
Research Objective To discover CRISPR-based genetic strategies that will directly and therapeutically modify cardiac myosin heavy chain isoform expression to treat HF and cardiomyopathies. Impact Heart Failure and Cardiomyopathies Major…
Research Objective The primary objective of this research is to test whether excitatory human V2a spinal interneurons engineered from PSCs can repair the damaged spinal cord and restore motor function.…
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…
