Researchers hoping to create disease models or regenerate organs need systems that precisely mimic the degree of complexity found in the natural world. The Stevens Lab is helping to answer the call with a new system that regulates gene expression patterns using heat Read More
Every day, million of cars navigate a complex network of wide, straight highways, busy streets and avenues, and side roads that bend and curve in unpredictable patterns. Now a new 3D modeling tool will help scientists study even more complex traffic patterns at work in our blood vessels. Read More
Several years ago, Danny El-Nachef was given a mission to create a tool to observe and track how stem cells behaved during the earliest stages of human heart development. While the focus of the challenge was human biology, the x-factor in the solution came from the sea. Read More
To overcome the inherent challenges in studying the brain, one ISCRM team used stem cell technology to implicate a gene known as SORL1 in some types of Alzheimer’s and to shed new light on why many promising treatments for this disease have hit dead ends in clinical trials. Read More
