ArticleDifferentiated therapies: Unlocking stem cell medicine with epigenetics
The human body has an incredible ability to repair itself, both from acute trauma and chronic damage that accumulates as we age. Here, Cameron Lee, Principal Scientist at Tune Therapeutics, reveals the potential of harnessing the body’s natural regenerative capabilities with epigenetic control of stem cells.

ArticleRestoring TERT to attenuate ageing hallmarks
In this Q&A, Dr Ronald DePinho of MD Anderson elucidates their preclinical proof-of-concept that adjusting TERT levels could be a viable therapeutic approach for mitigating age-related diseases, such as cancer, heart disease and Alzheimer’s.

ArticleHow 3D human tissue models are transforming drug discovery
In this Q&A, Keith Murphy, CEO of Organovo, discusses how the shift from animal models to 3D human tissues can transform the preclinical space. Among his many insights, he details the limitations of animal models, how Organovo’s 3D human tissue models facilitate a deeper understanding of genetic expression within specific ...
