A joint team of scientists from The New York Stem Cell Foundation (NYSCF) and Columbia University Medical Center (CUMC) has developed a technique that may prevent...
The expression of a single gene can directly convert heart muscle cells to cardiac pacemaker cells (i.e. SAN cells) both in an animal and a dish....
To treat corneal blindness, University of Sheffield researchers led by Frederik Claeyssens have engineered a biodegradable material with pockets to hold stem cells in place as...
Pharmaceutical companies and academic institutions, with European Union backing, are collaborating to produce a bank of 1,500 induced pluripotent stem cell lines. This StemBANCC project, to...
In Nature Methods, a group of researchers led by Duanqing Pei reported the derivation of neural progenitor cells from urine. Easily procured, human excreta could be...
As NYSCF CEO Susan L. Solomon revealed in her TED Global talk this past summer, the current model of drug development is broken: it takes, on...
On December 4, NYSCF CEO Susan L. Solomon was honored at the World Stem Cell Summit with the 2012 Stem Cell Action Leadership Award. Annually since...
To better understand how an animal’s state influences sensory experience, Takaki Komiayana, a NYSCF – Robertson Investigator, and colleagues employed an imaging platform to observe the...

Induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells derived from banked or even frozen blood samples present a practical and efficient platform to generate patient-specific cells. Researchers led by...
NYSCF – Robertson Neuroscience Investigator Ed Boyden, PhD, is senior author on a new paper in Advanced Materials. He and colleagues adapted a photolithography technique, traditionally...
Giuseppe Maria de Peppo, PhD, a NYSCF Postdoctoral Fellow, recently co-authored a book chapter in the seventh volume of Stem Cells and Cancer Stem Cells assessing the...
Difficult to extract, nerve cells from patients with Riley-Day syndrome largely preclude study of this disease. Riley-Day syndrome is a rare genetic disease that affects the...
Jasper, a dachshund, might not go on long walks, but he can stay in step on a treadmill with harness support after participation in a stem...
To better understand genetic factors involved in brain development, researchers led by Tristan Bouschet and Pierre Vanderhaeghen examined mouse embryonic stem cells. When oncogene BCL6 was...
Cell mosaicism—genetic variations between individual cells of a particular type—may account for genomic “instability” observed in induced pluripotent stem cell lines. Researchers led by Mark Gerstein...
Generated neurons from human embryonic stem cells not only integrated into rodent model’s hippocampus but displayed and promoted electrical activity when optogenetically stimulated. These results may...
Walter and Eliza Hall Institute researchers led by Leonard Harrison, DSc, identified and isolated stem cells from the pancreas, and they thenderived insulin-producing beta cells. While...
A large, extended Colombian family gripped by early-onset Alzheimer’s disease has helped researchers led by Eric Reiman, MD, determine how early (and rapidly) changes to the...
Trisomic disorders like Down’s syndrome (DS) may be corrected per a study published in Cell Stem Cell. Li B. Li and fellow researchers generated induced pluripotent...
David Gamm, MD, PhD, and University of Wisconsin colleagues report the first induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cell model of Best disease, a rare, genetic disorder that...
Two studies published in the Journal of the American Medical Association assess the efficacy and safety of mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) treatment on heart attack patients....
