Using stem cells to study the liver
Researchers uncover new insights into liver immune cell development using stem cells
Five ways Medicine by Design is transforming the treatment of liver disease
Medicine by Design-funded researchers are leading the way in ground-breaking liver research
Pioneering patient-guided study helps map rare liver disease
Innovative study unveils rare liver disease secrets
Medicine by Design-funded researchers generate cells that will impact treatments for bile duct disorders as a result of cystic fibrosis
Newly-generated cells may lead to a deeper understanding of bile duct disease and be a powerful tool for finding new treatments.
Harnessing the liver’s power to regenerate
Team led by pioneering stem cell scientist is one step closer to the clinic with cell-based therapies for liver disease.
Medicine by Design-funded team uses stem cells to grow functional blood vessel cells found in the liver
Discovery to provide insights into liver development and disease progression
Toronto investigators part of international team receiving $4-million (U.S.) award from Chan Zuckerberg Initiative
The project, part of the Human Cell Atlas, seeks to build a more complete map of the human liver and is a “direct extension” of the work the Toronto team has already done with support from Medicine by Design
How Medicine by Design researchers are tackling liver disease and shortage of transplant organs
Organ plays many vital roles, including cleaning blood, helping digest food and making essential proteins for the body.
How the first “map” of the human liver came together through a collaboration sown by Medicine by Design
Believed to be the first time a human organ has been charted at the single-cell level, the research illuminates the basic biology of the liver in ways that could eventually increase the success of transplant surgery and enable viable regenerative medicine treatments for liver disease.
Medicine by Design and OIRM invest $1.2 million in technologies and research to advance innovation in regenerative medicine
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.
