Curious about what happens when iPSCs are grown in microgravity using a 96-well plate? Arun Sharma, @CliveSvendsen and colleagues took on this stellar challenge—find out what they discovered! 🚀🔬#RegenerativeMedicine #SpaceResearch cedars-sinai.org/newsroom/new-s…

Exciting day at New West Charter High School! Our researchers inspired future scientists at their career fair, sharing insights on regenerative medicine and STEM careers. 🌟🔬 #STEMeducation #FutureScientists

Delighted to have hosted Darrell Kotton from CReM last week! His lab’s groundbreaking work differentiating lung epithelial progenitors from iPSCs and engrafting them in vivo has potential to provide new therapeutic options for patients with debilitating chronic lung diseases.

Our final research-in-progress talk of 2024 featured Ahmet Pazarceviren who described his work in the Sheyn Lab using iPSCs to make tenocytes for tendon repair. An exciting end to a fantastic year of RMI discoveries… more to come in 2025!

Great talk in the Center for Neural Science and Medicine research-in-progress series last week! Josh Burda presented his lab’s latest studies showing how astrocytes and microglia collaborate to promote repair of the white matter after spinal cord injury.

Exciting updates from Alex Ljubimov in the Biomedical Sciences seminar series recently! His lab is developing gene therapy, epigenetic therapy and small molecules to treat slow wound healing and epithelial stem cell dysfunction in the diabetic cornea. cedars-sinai.edu/health-science…

From all of us at the Regenerative Medicine Institute:

Join us in warmly welcoming Hannah, Clinical RA working with Dr. Avalos! #welcometotheteam

Heres to another exciting year!

Great talk from Arun Sharma in the وكالة الفضاء السعودية workshop “Space Research Techniques” recently! This talk, a part of the #Biogravity initiative, focused on harnessing microgravity for stem cell biomanufacturing in space. 🚀

Congratulations to California Institute for Regenerative Medicine Postdoctoral Scholar Vladimir Zhemkov who received a 2025 Barber Family Research Award for his work in the Svendsen Lab on synaptic spliceosome dysfunction in C9orf72 ALS. #alsnetwork #curealstogether

📚More exciting updates from RMI researchers this month! Anna Sanetra (Silm Lab) told us about dopamine neuron regulation by the chaperone CSPα and Ken Ning (Ho Lab) is using iPSC-derived neurons to understand the spatial origins of ALS.

Meet the organizers of Cell Symposia Gene and cell-based therapies: Progress in clinical translation: Clive Svendsen (Cedars-Sinai), Thomas Rando (UCLA Broad Stem Cell Research Center), Sheila Chari (Cell Stem Cell) & Sara Hamilton (Cell Reports Medicine) hubs.ly/Q03ffLxC0

The Cedars-Sinai Stem Cell and Bone Marrow Transplant team is one of the best in the US. Read about their recent innovations in patient care here: cedars-sinai.org/newsroom/cedar…

🎉Congratulations to Dr. Athanasia Panopoulos! She has been recognized as a 2025 ISSCR Public Service Award Honoree! Read more about the award and fellow honorees: invt.io/1txb54ckzl6

Join us in giving a warm welcome to Monica, new postdoc in the Svendsen Lab! Her research will focus on understanding synaptic dysfunction in sporadic ALS patients to uncover the mechanisms driving synaptic changes during pathology.

Welcome to our new postdoc, Molly! She joins the Pierson lab in using patient-derived iPSCs to create forebrain organoids, modeling rare neurogenetic disorders like GAND to study disease mechanisms and develop therapies.

🚨 We’re on LinkedIn! 🚨 We’re excited to share the work of our scientists, clinicians, trainees, and collaborators with a wider audience. Join us as we advance the frontiers of regenerative medicine! linkedin.com/in/rmi-csmc
