hydrogel scaffold

Using a 3D culture system that imitates fatty tissue, researchers developed a simpler process to study mesenchymal stem cell aging and tissue regeneration.

A novel system for customizable DNA-hydrogel manipulations

Researchers design a clear cellular scaffold called a hydrogel that can be used to detect and transmit light to cells in vivo.

Cell-containing hydrogel shapes fit into a template to create an artificial tissue environment.

Unwilling to accept the finality of terminal differentiation, Helen Blau has honed techniques that showcase the flexibility of cells to adopt different identities.
