The discovery that the ageing of lung stem cells drives iron insufficiency and reduces the capacity of the cells to form tumours has potential implications for the treatment of cancer and for ...
The Lee laboratory studies the mechanisms governing homeostatic turnover and reparative programs in stem cells, with a focus on elucidating how tissue perturbations lead to lung disease. We ...
The study, published in the December 17 edition of Cell Reports Medicine, was led by Joseph Ciacci, M.D., a professor in the Department of Neurological Surgery at UC San Diego School of Medicine ...
Grown in a dish from human stem cells, lung organoids are multicellular, three-dimensional structures that aim to recreate key features of human tissues such as cellular complexity and architecture.
Its development is tightly controlled by genetic and epigenetic programs. Stem cell-based embryo models, such as blastoids, serve as models of the blastocyst and are invaluable tools for studying ...
The key to regenerative medicine is the discovery of so-called ‘stem cells’ These are cells with the potential to develop into any type of cell - from a heart, to a lung to a skin cell.
Professor Massimo Caputo from the Bristol Heart Institute used pioneering stem cell injections to correct ... out of surgery but he needed a heart and lung bypass machine to keep alive, and ...
