New ISCRM faculty member Jenny Robinson, PhD has built a career researching how differences in sex hormones influence soft tissue regeneration, a question that first occurred to her on the soccer field. Read More
A paper from the Freedman Lab, published this week in Nature Communications, reveals a surprising finding about the way cysts form in PKD organoids, a discovery that could have clinical implications. 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
Using zebrafish as a model, researchers from the Musculoskeletal Systems Biology Lab describe how wnt16 dually influences bone and muscle development and growth. Read More
Undergraduate student researchers Dessirée Ortaç and Eesha Murali have received Washington Research Foundation Fellowships that will support their time in the lab through the end of the 2023 school year. 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
