Preventing Stress-Induced Greying of Hair
Loss of hair pigmentation has long been associated with stress; however, stress-related changes at the level of the somatic cell have only recently been elucidated. The hair follicle consists of two stem cell populations: epithelial-derived hair…

Isolating live cells after high-throughput, long-term, time-lapse microscopy
Researchers led by Johan Paulsson have engineered a high-throughput microfluidic device for multigenerational culturing, imaging, and tracking of single-cell lineages. The platform is highly customizable and is compatible with many cell types,…

Mechanically-induced regeneration
Skeletal muscle and satellite cells are sensitive to biophysical and microenvironmental cues, and there is evidence that physical manipulation of damaged muscle may promote recovery. David Mooney’s lab has used biphasic ferrogel scaffolds to create…

Polymeric material for dentin restoration
David Mooney’s lab has demonstrated the use of triacrylates TMPTA and PETA as tools for the repair of dental tissues. They found that dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) adhered to these triacrylate polymers, which had been cured by visible light, and…

Vertical silicon nanowires as a universal platform for highly efficient delivery of bioactive molecules into living cells
This platform consists of an array of surface-modified vertical silicon nanowires that have been chemically grown or etched on a wafer and to which virtually any kind of bioactive species (drug, protein, nucleic acid, nanoparticles) may be attached…

Paper-supported 3D cell culture for cell and tissue-based bioassays
In this new approach, cells are cultured in 3D on a paper scaffold by adding a hydrogel precursor, as a fluid containing suspended cells, to a paper support, allowing the cell-containing fluid to distribute through the paper by capillary wicking,…

Using (-)-indolactam V to induce differentiation of human and mouse embryonic stem cells into pancreatic lineage
• ILV can be used alone, or in combination with growth factors, to direct differentiation of ESCs into pancreatic specification. ILV is effective on human ESC lines and mouse ESC lines. • ILV is effective on human ESC lines HUES 2, 4 and 8. After 4…
