As the drug discovery industry takes on the complex disease states that plague our world, the need for more relevant and timely answers from cell-based assays has become a major challenge.
A team of scientists in the UK and Italy has discovered a switch that instructs blood vessel cells to become blood stem cells during embryonic development in mice. These findings could aid research into new blood cell creation for transplants.
Researchers have combined biomaterials-based cell patterning and stem cell technology to make a 3D tissue model that could mimic early stage human heart development...
Young women with premature ovarian insufficiency may be able to use their own bone marrow stem cells to rejuvenate their ovaries and avoid the effects of premature menopause...
Researchers at Osaka University have identified an immune cell that promotes the growth of neuron-supporting cells in the developing mouse brain.
In this issue: how customised cell engineering advances immunotherapy, how insights into auto-immunity are providing new opportunities for immune-oncology, and advances in lab automation and robotics are accelerating the pace of antimicrobial therapy.
Case study detailing a simple, highly reproducible phenotypic screen to characterise human induced pluripotent stem cells...
Research shows that preventing or reversing ‘T-cell exhaustion’ with targeted therapies could enhance the effects of immunotherapy.
SMi’s 2nd Annual Pharmaceutical Microbiology West Coast Conference will be taking place in San Diego, USA on the 7th - 8th June 2018.
Researchers from the University of Pennsylvania have identified a lung stem cell that repairs the organ's gas exchange compartment, providing potential new approach to treat lung disease.
Findings pave way for regenerative cell therapies in type 1 diabetes patients...
Scientists have shown that skin cells re-programmed into brain stem cells, transplanted into the central nervous system, help reduce inflammation and may be able to help repair damage caused by MS...
Microengineered Intestine-Chip has the potential to advance personalised treatments for gastrointestinal diseases...
A study in mice has suggested that iPS cells may train the immune system to attack or even prevent tumours...
Scientists have discovered a molecule that enhances cartilage regeneration and decreases inflammation.
