Researchers developed an improved pluripotent stem cell differentiation protocol to generate beta cells in vitro with superior glucose response and insulin secretion. This is a major step towards beta cell replacement therapy
CRISPR corrects genetic defect so cells can normalize blood sugar
In a study published online researchers describe the ability of Lin28 – when expressed above its usual levels – to fuel axon regrowth in mice with spinal cord injury or optic nerve injury, enabling repair of the body’s communication grid
Researchers described a new method for parallel biofabrication of a photopatterned, self-rolled and biomimetic pulmonary arterial microvessel of adjustable size and architecture
‘Bio’ yarn made from human cells can be braided, knitted, or woven into medical devices or scaffolds that don’t elicit an immune reaction
Study offers new path to modeling eye disease, advancing therapies
Researchers developed a stem cell therapy on myocardial infarction, using proteins that can be found in mussels, mussel adhesive proteins
Study using keratin from rat fur holds promise. Researchers have developed a simple method for preparing 3D keratin scaffold models which can be used to study the regeneration of tissue
A joint research team developed an ‘in vivo priming’ with heart-derived bioink. Using engineered stem cells and 3D bioprinting technology, they began developing medicines for cardiovascular diseases
