Australian government legalizes mitochondrial donation therapy. The breakthrough technique enables changing mother’s oocyte’s disease-carrying mitos to healthy ones, preventing mtDNA mutations to pass on to next generation. See the sweet video! YouTube youtube.com/watch?v=ip9c-j…

Sanna Vuoristo Functional Embryo Genomics lab is our newest Principal Investigator at the Research Programs Unit Medicine and Health, University of Helsinki and the STEMM Research Program, starting soon as Academy Research Fellow. 🤩

In a collaborative study the scientists report to have reprogrammed human pluripotent stem cells to a stage where they no longer resemble the embryonic cells of a one-week but approximately a three-day-old human embryo.

Tutkijamme löysivät keinon ihmisen alkiokantasolujen uudelleenohjelmoimiseen. Onnistuminen avaa nyt mahdollisuuden mallintaa aiempaa varhaisempia kehitysvaiheita ilman ihmisalkioita. STEMM Research Program Functional Embryo Genomics lab University of Helsinki  cell.com/stem-cell-repo…

What an exciting conference! Congratulations again for both of you!! Medicine and Health, University of Helsinki University of Helsinki WILS-Helsinki #WomenInSTEM ALBA Network #MyFENS2022 Tom McWilliams STEMM Research Program

Aika alkaa olla sille kypsä. Ihmisen sukusolujen geeneihin puututaan. Kun – eikä jos – tämä geneettinen korjailu alkaa, on se iso askel genetiikan historiassa. Ja ennen kaikkea sairauksien hoidossa. ⁦University of Helsinki⁩ ⁦HUS Helsingin yliopistollinen sairaala⁩ ⁦Kirmo⁩ hs.fi/tiede/art-2000…
