Alzheimer’s disease is becoming a public health crisis as the anticipated number of sufferers is expected to rise to 15 million in the next 30 years, at least in the US. These numbers a...
In the last 10 years, PCSK9 emerged as a promising target for the treatment of autosomal dominant hypercholesterolemia (ADH). With the emergence of induced pluripotent stem (hiPS) cells and f...
Cell encapsulation within semi-permeable devices represents a local immunoisolation strategy for cell-based therapies without the need for systemic immunosuppression. The encapsulation syste...
Effective immunotherapy of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is hampered by the lack of suitable tumor-specific antigens. To address this challenge, we have combined high-throughput fl...
The extravagant expectations around emerging technologies often gives way to a sense of disillusionment when the lofty expectations are not fulfilled. For genomics and precision precision to...
Cardiomyocytes (CMs) derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) as well as engineered heart muscles offer great potential for regenerative applications by CM transplantation, f...
