As regulators move to phase out primate testing, NHP-derived iPSC cardiomyocytes are emerging as a scalable, ethical and scientifically robust alternative - offering drug developers a clear path to faster, more predictive, and more responsible innovation.
In this first-in-human Alzheimer’s study, Wnt-activated autologous stem cells are delivered intracerebroventricularly (directly into the brain) to address neuronal loss, while also reducing amyloid and tau biomarkers and improving cognition. Early data from this regenerative approach could help early drug discovery teams shape target selection, biomarker development and trial design.
A new international framework introduces rigorous validity standards for the use of brain organoids and iPSC-derived models in studying neuropsychiatric disorders. These guidelines aim to accelerate drug discovery and bring precision treatments closer to reality.
Repurposing existing FDA-approved drugs could make nanomedicines safer by reducing harmful immune reactions, according to new research.
Scientists from Nagoya University have developed a fast and safe method to create lung cells from skin-like fibroblasts - without using stem cells. This technique could allow for new regenerative therapies for diseases like chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
Researchers have developed the first fully stem cell-derived model of human ovarian organoids, or "ovaroids," offering a powerful new tool for studying infertility, differences in sex development (DSDs), and related reproductive disorders.
Japanese researchers have developed a new enzyme technology that can precisely alter the levels of mutated mitochondrial DNA in patient-derived stem cells, offering a promising new approach for treating mitochondrial disorders.
