Stem Cell Structure to Facilitate In Vitro Embryonic Studies
A biological construct that combines mouse embryonic stem cells and extra-embryonic trophoblast stem cells in a three-dimensional scaffold will allow in vitro studies of cellular interaction in a model that mimics a developing embryo. More...16 Mar 2017

Biomechanical Stress and Inflammation Linked Using Muscle Cells
A team of biomedical engineers used induced pluripotent stem cells from patients with Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS) to investigate the relationship between biomechanical stress and inflammation in an organ-on-a-chip device that mimicked the microenvironment of the cardiovascular system.

Black Carbon Nanoparticles Modify Pathogens and Affect Resistance
Nanoparticles of black carbon, one of the main components of air pollution, have been found to modify the way bacterial pathogens grow in vitro and in vivo and to significantly increase their resistance to treatment with certain antibiotics. More...14 Mar 2017

Miniaturized Gene Editing for Treatment of Macular Regeneration
A viral vector was used to insert a very small CRISPR/Cas9 gene-editing tool into mouse muscle cells or retinal pigment epithelium cells, where it induced mutations that partially cured laser damage that mimicked human chronic age-related macular degeneration. More...10 Mar 2017

Researchers Define Autoantibody-Producing Role of B-Cells in RA
The results of a recently published paper suggest that clinical trials for new rheumatoid arthritis drugs should shift from their sole focus on relieving inflammation to eliminating the B-cells that produce the anti-citrullinated protein antibodies that are the cause of the disease.
