Evaluating Delivery Methods for iPSC Reprogramming — A Review
Introducing iPSC Technology
iPSCs (induced pluripotent stem cells) are a novel technology that allows for the mass production of stem cells. This is critical in enhancing their usability in therapeutics and treatments for various use cases, including disease modeling, personalized medicine, and even regenerating organs and tissue. To learn more about the fascinating field of stem cells, check out the ‘NextBigThing’ section in my October newsletter read more..
‘Reprogram’- Modelling iPSC Technology in Human T-cells
‘Reprogram’ was the culmination of my work in the field of stem cells, and the nascent technology the biology world refers to as iPSCs — induced pluripotent stem cells.
The project was rooted in stem cells, specifically their unspecialised nature and their ability to transform into any other specialised cell. These specialised cells are what make up our body, from the blood that transports critical elements, to the muscles and skeleton that help us move, to the nervous system that is infamous for setting us apart from animals read more…
Carving the Backbone of the Cell
The Development of a DNA- based Cytoskeleton for Synthetic Cells
Imagine your life without movement. Not just external physical movement, but also movement within the body. Imagine your life without any transportation between cells. Nerve cells not transporting signals to the brain would be just one of many phenomena. Imagine your life without a fixed structure, where every organ, muscle and tissue resulted in a bunch of fluidic mass jiggling around. That is a description of each of your cells without a cytoskeleton read more..
