Researchers ‘seq’ and find a way to make pig retinal cells to advance eye treatments
For the first time, researchers developed stem cell-derived pig retinal cells in comparison with human retinal cells, envisioning a path to advance treatments for eye disease and injury.
Bioengineered arteries show promise for cardiovascular surgery
Scientists bioengineered stem cell-derived artery grafts that could advance the field of vascular bypass surgery to combat cardiovascular disease.
Little fish, big splash
Kenneth Poss, Morgridge’s newest investigator, studies how zebrafish can restore what is irreparable in humans — including damaged heart tissue.
The American investment in research is about people
Early-career scientists are essential to the Morgridge mission, and the majority have some level of competitive support from the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Here, early-career researchers share thoughts on how federal funding supports their mission to conduct high-impact research.
