Study offers new path to modeling eye disease, advancing therapies
Researchers restore sight in mice by turning skin cells into eye cells
Stem Cells
For clogged and hardened hearts, a mussel is the solution
Researchers developed a stem cell therapy on myocardial infarction, using proteins that can be found in mussels, mussel adhesive proteins
Keratin scaffolds for regenerative medicine and tissue engineering
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 ‘cardiac patch with bioink’ developed to repair heart
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
Stem cells and nerves interact in tissue regeneration and cancer progression
Researchers show that different stem cell populations are innervated in distinct ways. Innervation may therefore be crucial for proper tissue regeneration. They also demonstrate that cancer stem cells likewise establish contacts with nerves. Targeting tumor innervation could thus lead to new cancer therapies
Modeling the human eye in a dish
Researchers develop a novel human stem cell model to study eye development, biology and disease in a dish
Insect wings hold antimicrobial clues for improved medical implants
Some insect wings such as cicada and dragonfly possess nanopillar structures that kill bacteria upon contact. However, to date, the precise mechanisms that cause bacterial death have been unknown
Using alveolar epithelia as a model for corona infection
Researchers are using organ-like cell cultures to investigate compounds to combat the new virus
