Stem Cells: are cells with the potential to develop into many different types of cells in the body. They serve as a repair system for the body. There are two main types of stem cells: embryonic stem cells and adult stem cells.
In healthy liver, quiescent hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) participate in the homeostasis of extracellular matrix and store vitamin A. After injury, HSCs activate and participate in the wound-...
PrPC is a conserved lipid-raft associated, GPI-anchored cell membrane glycoprotein. Misfolding of cellular PrPC into the pathogenic PrPSc results in Prion disease, an untreatable and fatal ne...
Neuropathic pain and bladder dysfunction represent significant quality of life issues for many spinal cord injury patients. Loss of GABAergic tone in the injured spinal cord may contribute to...
A major challenge for the clinical application of pluripotent stem cell therapy for neurodegenerative diseases is large-scale manufacturing and cryopreservation of neurons and glia that can b...
Most discussions about pluripotent stem cells center around their promise for regenerative medicine. The most remarkable quality of these cells is their ability to turn into all of the ...

The extravagant expectations around emerging technologies often gives way to a sense of disillusionment when the lofty expectations are not fulfilled. For genomics and precision precision to...
We have been developing methods to target drugs specifically to pathologic cells, thereby avoiding collateral toxicity to healthy cells. In the case of cancer, we have exploited up-regulation...
Given the challenges of replicating Parkinson’s disease in animal models, returning to models that are human-based and highly clinically characterized may provide the most successful pa...
In the adult central nervous system (CNS) small populations of neurons are formed in the adult olfactory bulb and dentate gyrus of the hippocampus. In the adult hippocampus, newly born neuron...
The greatest health epidemic of our time is cancer. Deaths from cancer worldwide outnumber the combined deaths from HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria by a wide margin. There are at least 100...
A century and a half after we first probed heritability, we risk forgetting one of Mendel's own basic findings, in rushing to broaden clinical genomics to lifelong care for all. Embracing...
Precision medicine requires understanding the mechanistic basis of complex disorders, and to precisely manipulate these mechanisms to better human health. This is partly enabled by the recent...
While next-generation sequencing has proven to be a very useful tool in basic research, two major hurdles remain for its broad adoption in the clinical research setting: lack of seamless work...
The advent of the microarray technology in 2000 has paved the way for advanced translational research methods that use molecular markers such as microRNA, proteins, metabolites and copy numbe...
Cell death is involved in diseases such as cancer and neurodegeneration, and also has a natural role in the development of multicellular organisms. Although apoptosis has been well defined, a...
Every day, vast amounts of healthcare data are collected from clinical trials as well as real world medical visits on patient treatment regimens and subsequent clinical outcomes. This big dat...
