Cory Simpson, MD, PhD and Andre Berndt, PhD detail how advances in biosensor and optogenetic technology are opening up new possibilities in dermatology research. Read More
Researchers in the Murry Lab have demonstrated that a quadruple gene editing approach safely suppresses irregular heartbeats in stem cell therapy for injured hearts. Read More
Tiara Schwarze-Taufiq, an ISCRM undergraduate fellow in 2021, is now a Research Scientist in the Young Lab thanks to an NIH R21 grant made possible in part by her own research. Read More
Research from the DeForest and Davis Labs describes a new method for cell extraction using engineered versions of an enzyme called sortase that have evolved to recognize and break specific peptide sequences. Read More
Join ISCRM at the Collective in South Lake Union on the evening of May 4 for Cells in Jello: The Wonder of Biomaterials, a free public science talk. Read More
A UW Medicine team led by Tom Reh, PhD had previously shown that neurons could be coaxed from glial cells in the retinal tissue of mice. Now they’ve refined the process to produce specific cells. Read More
Research from the Ruohola-Baker Lab shows that mitochondria determine whether a stem cell can reproduce or not, a finding that sheds new light on the factors that influence cell cycles. Read More
David Mack, Mark Bothwell, and Alec Smith are the editors of a special issue of Frontiers in Cell & Developmental Biology that explores different models for investigating neuromuscular disease and weighing the pros and cons of stem cell-based models versus cell lines and animal models. Read More
A team of investigators led by ISCRM faculty members David Mack, PhD and Nate Sniadecki, PhD have shown that is possible to recreate DMD with much more complexity in a 3D model of engineered heart tissue. Read More
State-funded ISCRM Fellowships enable students at the undergraduate, graduate, and postdoctoral level to advance research efforts aimed at addressing the root causes of diseases. Read More
