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 To develop a Stem Cell therapy for Sanfilippo B syndrome. Impact There is no treatment for Sanfilippo syndrome, and other therapeutic approaches have failed in clinics. This proposal…
Research Objective Our therapeutic candidate is a lipid nanoparticle that delivers a therapeutic dose of mRNA to the human heart, which transiently transfects of cells within the heart to improve…
Research Objective Functional restoration following spinal cord injury using defined excitatory and inhibitory spinal interneuron progenitor cell transplantation Impact The development of a stem cell derived progenitor cell therapy with…
Research Objective We developed a novel glial-restricted neural progenitor cells transplantation strategy as a treatment for Rett syndrome, reverting neuronal alterations caused by genetic mutations. Impact There are no disease-modifying…
Research Objective Efficacious and safe intramyocardial delivery of modified mRNA encoding cell cycle regulators as a gene therapy for cardiac regeneration through resident cardiomyocyte proliferation. Impact This project would provide…
Research Objective We propose to transduce hematopoietic stem cells with vectors that encode chimeric antigen receptors targeting HIV for T cells and anti-HIV broadly neutralizing antibodies for B and/or plasma…
Research Objective Develop genetically modified chimeric antigen receptor T cells to kill incurable solid cancers by targeting a previously un-targetable tumor associated carbohydrate antigen. Impact Refractory/metastatic solid cancers are almost…
Research Objective HSC-engineered allogeneic mesothelin-targeting CAR-iNKT (AlloMCAR-iNKT) cells Impact treatment of ovarian cancer Major Proposed Activities Milestone 1. Production of the AlloMCAR-iNKT cellsMilestone 2. Characterization of the AlloMCAR-iNKT cellsMilestone 3.…
Research Objective We will generate nanoprobe-containing stem cell-derived human beta cells that can be monitored in real time in response to inflammatory stress upon transplantation in patients with type 1…
