Stem cell good news: novel cancer work, new CA bills, Alzheimer’s, & more pubs

April 8, 2019 / Professor Paul Knoepfler, Ph.D. / 1 Comment

There’s nothing like stem cell good news and interesting publications to perk one up on a Monday. Enjoy. What recent papers have struck you as exciting? Novel stem cell-based cancer approaches (Part 1) It was exciting when Fate Therapeutics got the first induced pluripotent stem cell (IPSC) IND in the U.S. for their IPSC-derived natural killer cell […]

20 stem cell & regenerative medicine predictions for 2019

January 2, 2019 / Professor Paul Knoepfler, Ph.D. / 6 Comments

For a long time at the end of each year, I’ve been making stem cell predictions for the coming year. Most often I’ve been making a “top 20” list of predictions and today’s post has my list for 2019. You can see how I did for 2018 here, which might have been my best year

He Jiankui didn’t really gene edit those girls; he mutated them

December 4, 2018 / Professor Paul Knoepfler, Ph.D. / 10 Comments

Did Chinese researcher He Jiankui really CRISPR gene edit the CCR5 gene in two embryos producing twin baby girls? In my opinion the answer is “no”, but probably not for the reason you might think at first. He proclaims gene edits He claimed he had made twin baby girls with “gene edits”, which I feel is unethical

Stem cell news bites: Astellas trial, cystic fibrosis claim, a few cool papers

August 7, 2018 / Professor Paul Knoepfler, Ph.D. / 5 Comments

Stem cell news is always burbling up, sometimes right there in front of us on the web and other times via networks of people. Astellas news. Some may remember there used to be this pioneering stem cell biotech called ACT, which then became Ocata, and finally was acquired by the big company Astellas. One of

2017 stem cell predictions: score card at 1/2-way point

June 18, 2017 / Professor Paul Knoepfler, Ph.D. / 1 Comment

In December of each year I make a list of stem cell predictions for the coming year, and I made 20 such predictions for 2017 so I’m wondering how I’m doing so far on these now that it’s June. Below is my work-in-progress scorecard for these so far. Positive news from Asterias on trial for stem cell-based

Stem Cell Predictions for 2017

December 29, 2016 / Professor Paul Knoepfler, Ph.D. / 7 Comments

Each year I make a list of predictions for the stem cell and regenerative medicine field for the coming new year. Later in this post I list my top 20 stem cell predictions for 2017. In looking at my past predictions I realized this will now be my 7th year doing stem cell/regenerative medicine yearly predictions.
