BeatProfiler, a new research tool invented by Columbia bioengineers with the help of AI, speeds and simplifies the analysis of engineered heart tissue in the laboratory.
Fish get arthritis, too, but unlike people they can repair their joints. With an NIH "New Innovator" award, Joanna Smeeton is investigating how fish make repairs and if we can adopt their techniques.
Hematopoietic stem cells can survive extraordinary stress. Columbia scientists have learned how they escape death, which could lead to new treatments for blood cancers and diseases related to aging.
Columbia scientists are using CRISPR to create stem cells that could ultimately alleviate diabetes in rare neonatal cases and may lead to a cell therapy for more common forms of the disease.
A new Science study from Columbia stem cell researchers has found that the liver is the surprising source of a growth factor that keeps bone marrow stem cells healthy.
3-D organoids created from the bladder cancers of patients mimic the characteristics of each patient’s tumor and may be used in the future to identify the best treatment for each patient.
Scientists at Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons present the most definitive evidence to date that the human brain makes new neurons throughout life.
VP&S researchers will investigate macular degeneration, motor neuron differentiation, loss of tactile acuity, and other topics with funds from the New York State Stem Cell Science program.
Columbia University researchers have created a new topology-based tool that generates a roadmap of the ways in which a stem cell becomes differentiated.
The new director of Columbia's Stem Cell Initiative talks about stem cells and aging, the hope for stem cell therapies, and her plans for stem cell research at Columbia.
