Research is an important step in assessing patient safety in the rapidly developing field of stem cell therapies

Research describes the role of TNF receptor-associated factor 6 (TRAF6) in ensuring the vitality of stem cells that regenerate muscle tissue

Team has developed a highly effective in vitro technique for producing light sensitive retina cells from human embryonic stem cells

Technology aims to solve the challenge of getting stem cells to survive and fuction properly after transplantation

Two prominent researchers at UC Davis are under a microscope for their work in stem-cell biotechnology. The pair from University of California, Davis was awarded close to $4 million in funding to improve biotechnology intended for physicians studying stem cell treatments.

Induced neural stem cells (iNSCs) created from adult cells hold promise for therapeutic transplantation, but their potential in this capacity has been limited by failed efforts to maintain such cells in the desirable multi-potent NSC state without continuous expression of the transcription factors used initially to reprogram them. 

The joint effort will accelerate the implementation of clinical trials and delivery of stem cell therapies.
