In a study that came with some unexpected findings, ISCRM researchers reveal new details about the role an RNA binding protein (MBNL1) plays in the steps that lead to scarring in the heart. Read More
Kelly Stevens has received an Allen Distinguished Investigator Award to support her work to map and understand how human livers develop. Read More
In 2015, a team of inquisitive young scientists, absorbed in the study of metabolism, regeneration, and biological development, set out to answer a question. Could the way cells produce energy help explain why certain organisms have an envious ability to regenerate heart tissue after injury? And, if so, could that knowledge be used to help heal human hearts? Read More
ISCRM researchers use kidney organoids to demonstrate that COVID-19 is capable of infecting kidney cells directly and test whether a synthetic protein designed by the Institute for Protein Design (IPD) might be capable of preventing infection. Read More
Researchers led by ISCRM faculty member Tom Reh induce support cells in the retina to become neurons, an approach that someday could help restore vision. Read More

UW researchers have created a technique to build single-cell resolution spatial maps of the molecular profiles of mammal cell types Read More
New data presented by ISCRM Director Chuck Murry suggests gene-editing may be the key to clearing a major hurdle for researchers hoping to remuscularize injured hearts with stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes Read More
Fueled in part by a New Investigator Award from the Cancer Consortium, ISCRM faculty member Julie Mathieu, PhD is partnering with scientists at the Institute for Protein Design and Fred Hutch to develop new treatments for renal cell carcinoma. Read More
Simulations shed light on heart-scarring similarities among patients with atrial fibrillation and those who had embolic stroke but no atrial fibrillation. Read More
