“Laser-Based Cell Manipulation” Featuring Dr. Marinna Madrid
“Laser-Based Cell Manipulation” Featuring Dr. Marinna Madrid
Dr. Marinna Madrid is Co-Founder of Cellino, an early-stage biotechnology company seeking to make personalized, autologous cell therapies viable at large scale for the first time. She talks about how lasers and image-guided machine learning can make iPSC-derived cell therapies more accessible to patients, and her journey from a community college to Harvard.
This Episode's Stem Cell Roundup:
- Using IGF1 to Rescue HSCs from the Hallmarks of Aging – Researchers found that a decline in IGF1 in the bone marrow microenvironment initiates hematopoietic stem cell aging, and that direct stimulation with IGF1 could reverse this phenotype.
- Krüppel-Like Factor 1 is Critical for Heart Regeneration in Zebrafish – Krüppel-Like Factor 1 stimulates new cardiomyocyte production by reprogramming gene networks that regulate cardiomyocyte differentiation and mitochondrial metabolism.
- How Aneuploid Embryos Can Lead to Healthy Births – Scientists showed that mosaic embryos can be rescued through BMP4-dependent apoptosis of aneuploidy in the primary germ layers.
- Patient-Derived Cervical Organoids – Generated from a pap smear sample, cervical organoids can be used as an experimental platform for sexually transmitted infection and cervical cancer research.
