Scientists can now select individual cells from their local environment & study their molecular contents. The new tool will enable a deeper study of stem cells and other rare cell types for diagnostics & therapy.
Seven funded projects poised to impact many diseases including cystic fibrosis, ALS and vision loss.
Nine funded projects span synthetic biology, computational modelling, immunoengineering and organoids
Cindi Morshead and Maryam Faiz talk about the work they presented at the annual meeting of the Society for Neuroscience.
Funded projects are investigating new approaches to treat amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, skeletal muscle injuries, stroke and Duchenne muscular dystrophy, and improve the success of blood stem cell transplants
Six innovative projects investigating the application of new tools and devices to regenerative medicine and four outstanding post-doctoral fellows receive awards.
Twelve targeted projects and two post-doctoral fellowships that are expanding the frontiers of stem cell research will share $1.2 million in funding thanks to programs supported jointly by the University of Toronto’s Medicine by Design initiative and the Ontario Institute for Regenerative Medicine.
Giles Santyr is testing whether novel imaging approaches can be used to track where stem cells go when they are introduced into the lungs and what happens to them when they get there.
Penney Gilbert hopes to gain new insights into Duchenne muscular dystrophy using a new, three-dimensional tissue culture platform that can grow innervated human muscle in the lab more quickly and efficiently than previous methods.
