To celebrate #StemCellAwarenessDay, we've put together a quick explainer on stem cells: what they are and why they matter! 🧪
#UCLAStemCell #ResearchPowersProgress #StemCellResearch

A graphic that features the title "Stem Cells: A Quick Explainer" against a black-and-white microscopy photo of cells.A graphic that explains that stem cells act as the building blocks of living organisms and are defined by two key characteristics: they can divide indefinitely, and they can develop into more specialized cells. An image of a lab petri dish set is featured in the background.A graphic that explains that stem cells play an important role in the maintenance of organs and tissues. The background is an image of a researcher using a microscope.A graphic explaining that stem cells are used to study human development, model diseases, test new drugs and develop cell replacement therapies. An image of a laboratory worker at a lab hood is featured in the background.

Time travel for cells? Almost. 🧬⏪ iPSC technology lets researchers reprogram adult cells back to an undifferentiated state, so they can become nearly any cell type.
Visit our glossary page at stemcell.ucla.edu/glossary to learn more!
#UCLAStemCell #StemCellResearch #WordoftheWeek #Reprogramming

Graphic with the titles 'Word of the Week' and 'iPSC.' Includes a magnifying glass, a drawing of a petri dish with cells, and the phrase 'Cell differentiation!' The website stemcell.ucla.edu appears on the side.Definition card for the word 'iPSC,' which stands for 'Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell'. Text reads: 'Adult cells — typically skin or blood — that have been reprogrammed in the lab to behave like stem cells. This gives them the potential to become any cell type found in the major tissues of the body.' Includes an illustration of a dictionary.Relevance card explaining that Dr. Amander Clark at the BSCRC is using iPSCs to model the development of human reproductive cells and to better understand the mechanisms behind infertility. Includes a photo of Dr. Amander Clark, as well as illustrations of cells and laboratory glassware.Diagram explaining that the term pluripotent comes from the Latin word for 'many' and the Latin word for 'powerful'.

The ability to alter DNA is central to several research projects at the BSCRC — from developing treatments for muscular dystrophy to engineering crops that are more nutritious and adaptable to climate change. CRISPR is one of the tools making that possible. 💪🌱 #StemCellResearch #GeneEditing #CRISPR

Graphic with the titles 'Word of the Week' and 'CRISPR.' Includes a magnifying glass, a drawing of DNA strands, and the phrase 'Gene editing!' The website stemcell.ucla.edu appears on the side.Definition card for the word 'CRISPR' which stands for 'Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats'. Text reads: 'A gene editing technology that enables scientists to remove, add, or alter DNA at precise locations.' Includes an illustration of a dictionary.Diagram explaining that CRISPR works through two components: one component acts as a navigation system that searches for a specific DNA sequence, and the other component acts as a pair of "molecular scissors" that can cut two strands of DNA to enable gene modification. Digital illustrations of a map and scissors are included.Relevance card explaining that Dr. Melissa Spencer and Dr. April Pyle from the BSCRC are using CRISPR to restore muscle function in individuals with Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Includes photos of Dr. Melissa Spencer and Dr. April Pyle, as well as an illustration of a muscle.

E3: Are all stem cells the same?
My brain went straight to Pokémon, same category, wildly different abilities. Turns out stem cells really do have different “résumés.” 🧬 Keep digging into the research at AdiaMed.com.

The human immune system is comprised of a network of cells that work together to keep the body healthy. But what if there was a way to harness and bolster this defense system to fight diseases like cancer? Enter: immunotherapy. 🔬
