The first logical step is building on the supplies currently available, the work already accomplished, and the knowledge acquired. This is the approach … Continue reading Gladstone scientists respond to coronavirus pandemic
CIRM-Funded Scientists Make New Progress Toward Engineering a Human Esophagus
Creating tissues and organs from stem cells—often referred to as ‘tissue engineering’—is hard. But new research has discovered that the process may in fact be a little easier than we once thought, at least in some situations. Last week, scientists at The Saban Research Institute of Children’s Hospital Los Angeles announced that the esophagus—the tube … Continue reading CIRM-Funded Scientists Make New Progress Toward Engineering a Human Esophagus
