Harnessing the capacity of pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) to produce functional cell types with precision and at scale will enable new treatment modalities for degenerative diseases. A major target for such therapies is mesodermal tissue, muscle, bone and cartilage. The goal of PluriMes is to create a bioengineering platform for directing PSCs into specific classes of mesodermal/mesenchymal progeni ...

Although neural stem cells (NSC) have been isolated successfully and characterized relatively extensively, little is known about the role of their natural microenvironment, the so-called niche, in influencing their behavior. The role of distinct niche signals and their spatial orientation in regulating the choice between quiescence, self-renewal or differentiation is poorly understood, due in part ...
