The Thom Lab, an integrated genomics and cell biology lab, aims to define novel factors that regulate blood cell development and function in order to augment in vitro blood cell production.
The goal of this study is to collect biological samples and medical information from children to create a Neuroscience Biorepository to advance future neurological research.
First produced in the past decade, induced pluripotent stem cells — which are derived from adult cells — are capable of developing into many cell types. In two new studies, investigators from The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia reprogrammed skin cells from patients with rare disorders into induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), highlighting the great promise these cells hold.
