ISCRM and the UW School of Dentistry Reveal New Findings About the Nature of Stem Cells in Human Teeth
February 22, 2019 | Categories: Research |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).

Network of synthetic blood microvessels built
October 4, 2017 | Categories: Research |Researchers are reporting significant progress in generating a 3-dimensional network of blood vessels that can be grown and manipulated in a laboratory. Building vascular support for stem-cell repaired tissues or replacement organs will be vital to such regenerative therapies. Read More about Network of synthetic blood microvessels built
