Everything Stems Here
Stem cells are the body’s source of raw materials. These are the cells from which all other cells with specialized functions, such as immune or neurological, are generated. Researchers can now create and differentiate stem cells in the lab with induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs).
We use iPSCs to probe the origins and processes of disease, to deepen understanding of developmental biology and what it means to be healthy or recover from injury and illness. This basic knowledge helps drive the engines of discovery and therapeutic solutions.
