Institute for Regenerative Medicine Find Out More Our mission is to understand how cells and tissues are formed and to apply that knowledge to next generation diagnostics and therapies August 21, 2020Research Recap: Following the footsteps of metastatic cancer, blood development, and COVID-19Recent preprints and publications from IRM researchers. This month: a new technique for tracing cancer cells back to the source, another step toward producing patient blood stem cells outside of the body, and a search for coronavirus targets in the brain that leverages insights from other viral fights. Which cancer cells go rogue? Why do Continue reading Research Recap: Following the footsteps of metastatic cancer, blood development, and COVID-19July 6, 2020Jamie Shuda Wins 2020 Bruce Alberts Award for Excellence in Science EducationDr. Jamie Shuda and collaborator Dr. Steven Farber (Carnegie Institution of Washington) have received the 2020 Bruce Alberts Award for Excellence in Science Education from the American Society for Cell Biology (ASCB). The pair was recognized for their partnership in creating Project BioEYES. The Bruce Alberts Award recognizes innovative and sustained contributions to science education. Continue reading Jamie Shuda Wins 2020 Bruce Alberts Award for Excellence in Science EducationJune 22, 2020The 2020 IRM ISSCR Viewer GuideTake an IRM-guided tour of this week s meeting with our ISSCR viewer guide. For the first time ever, the International Society for Stem Cell Research (ISSCR) Annual Meeting will be held virtually, from June 23 to June 27. This year, physical movement and jet lag won t limit your ability to catch talks and meet new Continue reading The 2020 IRM ISSCR Viewer Guide The IRM supports initiatives to translate discoveries in stem cell science into new therapies. We offer: Collaborative Research Programs Grants for Innovative Ideas Engaging Symposiums & Events Training Workshops Award-winning Outreach Partnerships Scientific Communication Support Epithelial Stem CellsThe cells that constitute our skin and line our organs are the first line of defense against injury and illness. These vital barriers are replenished by epithelial stem cells. IRM researchers study epithelial stem cells throughout the body to find ways to improve wound healing, heal the lungs after viral infection, reverse baldness, and more. Continue reading Epithelial Stem CellsHematopoietic Stem CellsHumans produce hundreds of billions of blood cells every day, thanks to the incredible regenerative potential of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). To create all those oxygen-carrying red blood cells and pathogen-fighting white blood cells, HSCs follow very specific development pathways. IRM researchers are exploring how to control these pathways and use HSCs to treat disease. Continue reading Hematopoietic Stem CellsMusculoskeletal RegenerationMuscles, bones, and cartilage are critical to our quality of life, so maintaining musculoskeletal health from childhood to old age is incredibly important. However, injuries, aging, and disease can all undermine musculoskeletal health. IRM scientists and engineers are studying innovative ways to repair degraded tissues and are working toward solutions for muscular dystrophy, osteoarthritis, and Continue reading Musculoskeletal RegenerationNeurodevelopment RegenerationThe nervous system’s capacity for growth and change underlies everything from proper mental development to the body’s coordination and movement. IRM researchers study how neurons develop in different stages of life, why the neurons in limbs regenerate better than in the brain, and how dysregulation leads to diseases including autism spectrum disorder, schizophrenia, and glioblastoma. Continue reading Neurodevelopment RegenerationReproductive MedicineThe cells of the reproductive system give rise to all other cells in the body. IRM researchers seek to understand the regenerative qualities of sperm and eggs and the biology of early embryos, with the goals of improving the storage of germ cells and embryos for cancer patients and creating safe, effective assisted reproductive technologies.
