UCM Resources for Expanding Stem cell-derived Tissues and Organs for Regenerative Engineering (RESTORE)
Public Abstract:
The areas of focus for our SRL will include induced pluripotent stem cell generation and characterization, cell differentiation and generation of a microvascular tissue model and in vivo models.
Statement of Benefit to California:
Our stem cell-based models will provide diverse iPSCs and hands-on trainings to California's Central Valley where access to these models is limited and populations are diverse. The core offerings will be shared using protocol booklets and video tutorials posted on our SRL website and through hands-on mentoring within the facility and through multiple techniques courses focused on iPSC culture, characterization, vascular cell differentiation and tissue models, transplantation, and imaging.
