Stem cell disease modeling is technology that uses cell culture and imaging techniques to develop new therapeutic approaches to treat disease. An example of stem cell disease models include induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs).
The human race, like all macrobiological life, evolved in a sea of microbes. There was no way to keep the bacterial and archaeal hoards at bay, so instead life evolved mechanisms to live with...
The central nervous system (CNS) is a conglomerate of diverse, interconnected tissues that each contain cell phenotypes specific to their distinct anatomical region. Recent studies have demon...
In healthy liver, quiescent hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) participate in the homeostasis of extracellular matrix and store vitamin A. After injury, HSCs activate and participate in the wound-...
PrPC is a conserved lipid-raft associated, GPI-anchored cell membrane glycoprotein. Misfolding of cellular PrPC into the pathogenic PrPSc results in Prion disease, an untreatable and fatal ne...
We work in the framework of the Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells Initiative (HipSci) project, funded by the Wellcome Trust and MRC. We provide a dedicated laboratory space for collaborati...
Over the last 15 years, human pluripotent stem cell (hPSC) technologies have progressed from academic curiosities into tools with the promise to underpin commerce, leading to real progress in...
The isolation of human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) and the discovery of human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC) reprogramming have sparked a renaissance in stem cell biology, in vitro di...
The study of human genetic neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) is complicated by the inaccessibility of the relevant tissue for study: it is extremely rare to obtain post-surgical brain sampl...
Neuropathic pain and bladder dysfunction represent significant quality of life issues for many spinal cord injury patients. Loss of GABAergic tone in the injured spinal cord may contribute to...
Human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) are valuable cells for retinal disease modeling, as these cells are of patient origin and can be differentiated into cell types of interest. This ...
A major challenge for the clinical application of pluripotent stem cell therapy for neurodegenerative diseases is large-scale manufacturing and cryopreservation of neurons and glia that can b...
The human body is composed of about 200 different cell types. The identity and function of these distinct cell types are precisely programmed by the regulatory networks encoded in the 3 billi...
