Morgridge and UW researchers develop novel gene editing approach for stem cell therapy
Morgridge Affiliate Matt Brown and the Ron Stewart Computational Biology Group recently published a new approach to “hypoimmune” gene editing of pluripotent stem cell (PSC) therapies.
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.
