Harvard stem cell scientists at Brigham and Women’s Hospital have pioneered a method using steroids to make mighty stem cells, increasing their usefulness for potential cell therapies. Unlike sports, where performance-enhancing drugs are banned, in the...

Harvard stem cells scientists at Brigham and Women’s Hospital and MIT can now engineer cells that are more easily controlled following transplantation, potentially making cell therapies, hundreds of which are currently in clinical trials across the United...

Harvard Stem Cell researchers and collaborators have shown that they can grow unlimited quantities of intestinal stem cells, then stimulate them to develop into nearly pure populations of different types of mature intestinal cells. Using these cells...

Two HSCI faculty members from Brigham and Women's Hospital have been awarded the 2011 Young Investigator Award from the Society for Biomaterials (SFB). Jeffrey Karp, PhD, and Ali Khademhosseini, PhD, MASc, will receive their awards at the SFB Annual...

A group of Brigham and Women’s Hospital, and Harvard Stem Cell Institute researchers, and collaborators at MIT and Massachusetts General Hospital have found a way to use stem cells as drug delivery vehicles. The researchers inserted modified strands of...
