Indirect conversion is a new method of cell reprogramming

A new approach – the transformation of a somatic cell of one tissue into a division-capable, but already partially differentiated precursor cell of another tissue – increases the efficiency and safety of cell reprogramming.

A heart patch made of reliable material?

Cardiovascular progenitor cells capable of maturing and integrating into the heart muscle may be much more effective in the treatment of infarction than mesenchymal stem cells or cardiomyocytes derived from them.

New "ink" has been invented for bioprinters

Printing of matrices from living cells will facilitate new biochernils for an inkjet printer, allowing cells not to lose viability when printing and not to stick together in the printer nozzles.

Tissue Engineering: how to grow an ear?

Instead of the auricle removed due to a malignant tumor, the specialists of the Johns Hopkins University Clinic grew her a new one. Not easy, not fast, not very nice, but much better than nothing.

An inexhaustible source of myelin-producing cells

"In vitro" progenitor cells of neuroglia quickly stop dividing, and there are too few myelinating oligodendrocytes suitable for cell therapy. Scientists have managed to overcome this barrier.

Cartilage from the skin

A team of scientists at Duke University Medical Center has grown cartilage tissue from induced pluripotent mouse stem cells. The obtained chondrocytes are suitable both for the elimination of cartilage defects and for the study of osteoarthritis.

Kidneys "from a test tube": one step closer

Due to incubation in a solution of vascular endothelial growth factor, organoids grown from a suspension of cells continued to mature in rat organisms after implantation and acquired the ability to filter blood and perform other kidney functions.

The neuron lived, the neuron is alive, the neuron will live!

The unexpectedly high survival rate of embryonic neurons in the brains of newborn mice gives hope for the effective use of nerve cell transplantation for the treatment of neurodegenerative and other neurological diseases.

Let's hit the micropallets with cells with ultrasound!

The use of ultrasound makes it possible to selectively separate micropallets in a fraction of a second. In addition, the survival rate of cells at the same time exceeds 90%, which is much better than the indicators of any modern technology, the highest achievement of which is 50%
