Our laboratory is interested in developing and applying innovative chemical approaches to stem cell biology and regeneration. (gladstone.org)
The investigations are frequently combined with large scale perturbation methods, including gene - based (RNAi, miss - expression of wild type and mutant genes) and chemical approaches using small molecule libraries. (icsb2004.org)
Professor Laura Cipolla, from the Department of Biotechnology and Biosciences at the University of Milano - Bicocca, added: «Based on our background on the chemical modification of bio - and nanostructured materials, proteins, and carbohydrates, we designed a new chemical approach in order to force the organic component polycaprolactone to stay together in a stable way with the inorganic component silica.» (sciencedaily.com)
