The International Space Station (ISS) houses more than astronauts: the football-field-sized spacecraft is also home to a large range of research projects carried out in the...
The Context: Studying brain development can be difficult since scientists cannot easily access developing brain tissue. Creating models of human brain development from stem cells allows...
In 2006, Shinya Yamanaka, MD, PhD, made a discovery that revolutionized biomedical research and earned him a Nobel Prize. His lab found that stem cells, the...
The Context: Humans inherit two sets of genes, one from each biological parent. Some of these genes have only one parent’s copy activated, while the other...
The Context: It is estimated that 15 million babies are born prematurely each year, and a common premature birth complication is low oxygen levels. We know...
“At the current rate of therapeutic development for rare diseases, it will be 2000 years before doctors won’t have to say to patients, ‘There’s nothing more...
Congratulations to NYSCF – Robertson Stem Cell Investigator and Assistant Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Stanford University Sergiu Pasca, MD, for receiving the 2018...
“It takes 13 years—after you have sunk 4 billion dollars into a drug—to figure out whether or not it will succeed, and your chance of being...
Our skin is made up of three layers. The top layer – the epidermis – contains epithelial cells, which provide a barrier between us and the...
“Medicine shouldn’t be one size fits all,” National Institutes of Health (NIH) Director Dr. Francis Collins told the audience of the NYSCF Conference last week. “Think...
What they did: A team of scientists including NYSCF Scientific Advisor and Harvard University Professor of Stem Cell and Regenerative Biology Dr. Kevin Eggan and NYSCF...
NEW YORK, NY (October 23, 2018) – The New York Stem Cell Foundation (NYSCF) announced the 2018 class of NYSCF – Robertson Investigators, welcoming six of...
What they did: NYSCF–Robertson Stem Cell Investigator Dr. Sergiu Pasca of Stanford University has pioneered a new method for generating 3D aggregates of region-specific brain tissue...
In a new study published in Neuron, a team from Boston Children’s Hospital led by NYSCF – Robertson Neuroscience Investigator Maria Lehtinen, PhD, discovered that a...
In a collaborative study between Case Western Reserve University, the New York Stem Cell Foundation (NYSCF) Research Institute, and George Washington University, researchers have developed a...
Researchers have found gut cells in an unlikely spot: lung tumors. A new study from NYSCF Innovator Jay Rajagopal, MD, and colleagues at Harvard University and...
NYSCF’s latest paper could have important implications for human reproductive technologies. The scientists showed proof of principle that genome transfer can rescue developmentally incompetent eggs, making...
NYSCF – Robertson Neuroscience Investigator Alumnus Dr. Christopher Gregg and his team at the University of Utah School of Medicine discovered that neurons may favor genes...
NYSCF announced the 2016 class of NYSCF – Robertson Investigators, welcoming six of the most talented stem cell researchers and neuroscientists from around the world into...
A report in The New Scientist presents claims that the first baby was born in Mexico by a New York based doctor using mitochondrial replacement therapy...
NYSCF has been at the forefront of bringing mitochondrial replacement therapy to the clinic and in 2011, published a seminal paper in Nature that showed mitochondrial replacement could...
NYSCF – Robertson Stem Cell Investigator Dr. Kristen Brennand, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, used advanced stem cell technology to support the hypothesis that...
NYSCF – Robertson Stem Cell Investigator Dr. Jacob Hanna, of the Weitzmann Institute of Science, co-authored a paper published in Cell describing the creation of cellular...
NYSCF – Robertson Stem Cell Investigator, Dr. Alex Meissner of Harvard University, mapped the methyl and demethylation patterns in human cells before and after fertilization. While...
