Marmoset trophoblast stem cells model shallow embryo implantation
4 October 2024
Scientists have developed a pioneering method to culture marmoset placental cells in the lab, offering new insights into embryo implantation. Unlike human embryos, which implant deeply into the uterus, marmoset embryos undergo a much shallower implantation. This research opens up new avenues for understanding the...
Laurenti Lab finds new way to extend ‘shelf life’ of blood stem cells to improve gene therapy
15 August 2024
Researchers at the Cambridge Stem Cell Institute and University of Cambridge have discovered a way to extend the 'shelf life' of blood stem cells outside the body for use in gene therapy, providing patients with better treatment options and improving their outcomes. T he research, published today (15 August) in Blood from...
