If I only had a brain: brain organoids from pluripotent stem cells

/ / 3 Comments

In a first for the field, scientists have used human pluripotent stem cells to grow miniature brain-like structures (brain organoids) in a dish in a lab (see beautiful image of one of these “mini-brains” at left from the paper). This exciting, pioneering feat, accomplished by a team from the Austrian Academy of Science in Vienna

Autologous iPSC-derived neurons, stem cells for Parkinson's

I recently wrote about the upbeat early reports from two allogeneic trials of stem cells for Parkinson’s. Now there’s additional encouraging early news on this front but using patients’ own cells. This is one of the most promising areas of regenerative medicine. Stem cells for Parkinson’s: Aspen Neuroscience upbeat early data California biotech Aspen Neuroscience

Florida stem cell law, Mari Mitrani

A risky new Florida stem cell law is likely to come into effect in a matter of weeks as the state senate and house both unanimously passed versions of their respective stem cell bills. I imagine that Florida Governor Ron DeSantis will sign it. It will be effective July 1, opening the door to unproven

MSC cruises, MSCs for MS

It was another crazy week for me with tons of grant work, but news  and research in the regenerative medicine world keep on popping up including a paper on MSCs for MS. I’ve realized that even when I’m trying to take a short break, I often see science and signs of stem cells popping up

stem cell meetings 2025

After a bit of a hiatus in 2024, our  list of regenerative medicine and stem cell meetings returns for 2025. I’m noticing a lot of great stem cell meetings already scheduled for 2025. With the pandemic being less of an ever-present thing, most meetings are now only in-person these days. In a way, the hybrid
