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
Bioengineers have cleared a major hurdle on the path to 3D printing replacement organs with a breakthrough technique for bioprinting tissues. The new innovation allows scientists to create exquisitely entangled vascular networks that mimic the body's natural passageways for blood, air, lymph and other vital fluids. Read More
ISCRM’s Dr. Kelly Stevens, an assistant professor in UW Bioengineering and in Pathology, has received a 2016 National institutes of Health (NIH) Director’s New Innovator Award in support of her work to build artificial human tissues from stem cells, and to remotely control these tissues after implantation in a patient. The New Innovator Award, part […] Read More
The Institute for Stem Cell and Regenerative Medicine (ISCRM) is pleased to announce the Summer 2016 winners of the Tietze Research Awards in Stem Cell Research, funded through a generous multi-year commitment by the John H. Tietze Foundation. Funding for research during these times is especially competitive. The Tietze Awards are timely and generous responses to a […] Read More
