Studying Cell Signaling in the Prostate

April 15, 2019 | Categories: Core Faculty, Research | Tagged: , , ,

While prostate cancer may not be as deadly as other cancers – five-year survival rates can exceed 90%, especially if the disease is localized – incidence rates overall are increasing. For 2019 alone, The American Cancer Society predicts the United States will see roughly 175,000 new cases and 32,000 deaths associated with prostate cancer. Read More

ISCRM and the UW School of Dentistry Reveal New Findings About the Nature of Stem Cells in Human Teeth

February 22, 2019 | Categories: Research | Tagged: , , ,

Long before Hannele Ruohola-Baker became a leading stem cell researcher, she was a young hockey player skating on the frozen ponds of her native Finland. When she was ten years old, she lost a tooth to an errant puck. “I’d say that’s when my interest in regenerating teeth began,” says Dr. Ruohola-Baker, now a Professor of Biochemistry and Associate Director of the UW Medicine Institute for Stem Cell and Regenerative Medicine (ISCRM).
