The collaboration leverages innovative stem cell science from the Cedars - Sinai Board of Governors Regenerative Medicine Institute and Emulate's Human Emulation System, which uses Organs - on - Chips technology to re-create true - to - life biology outside the body.

The study was conducted by investigators at the Cedars - Sinai Board of Governors Regenerative Medicine Institute and Emulate, Inc. in Boston.

«This pairing of biology and engineering allows us to re-create an intestinal lining that matches that of a patient with a specific intestinal disease — without performing invasive surgery to obtain a tissue sample,» said Clive Svendsen, PhD, director of the Cedars - Sinai Board of Governors Regenerative Medicine Institute and a co-author of the study.

This advance will allow biomedical scientists to study the functioning of an individual's intestinal lining in a controlled microenvironment, where the lining can interact with immune cells, blood cells and drugs, said Robert Barrett, PhD, assistant professor of Medicine and research scientist at the Cedars - Sinai Board of Governors Regenerative Medicine Institute.

Los Angeles - Jan. 27, 2015 — Researchers in the Cedars - Sinai Board of Governors Regenerative Medicine Institute have devised a novel way to generate transplantable corneal stem cells that may eventually benefit patients suffering from life - altering forms of blindness.

«Our research shows that cells derived from corneal stem cells are attractive candidates for generating corneal cells in the laboratory,» said Alexander Ljubimov, PhD, director of the Eye Program at the Board of Governors Regenerative Medicine Institute and principal investigator on this research study.

Study collaborators include Clive Svendsen, PhD, director of the Board of Governors Regenerative Medicine Institute and professor of biomedical sciences and medicine; Dhruv Sareen, PhD, director of the Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell Core and assistant professor of biomedical sciences; Mehrnoosh Saghizadeh, PhD, assistant professor of biomedical sciences; Yaron Rabinowitz, MD, director of the Division of Ophthalmology Research; and Vincent A. Funari, PhD, director of the Genomics Core and assistant professor of pediatrics.

Now, with publication of a study by investigators at the Cedars - Sinai Board of Governors Regenerative Medicine Institute, ALS researchers know the effects of the attack are worsened, at least in part, by the aging and failure of support cells called astrocytes, which normally provide nutrients, housekeeping, structure and other forms of assistance for neurons.

«Aging astrocytes lose their ability to support motor neurons in general, and they clearly fail to help those attacked by ALS,» said Clive Svendsen, PhD, professor and director of the Board of Governors Regenerative Medicine Institute, the article's senior author.

Lou Gehrig's disease, also known as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS, might damage muscle - controlling nerve cells in the brain earlier in the disease process than previously known, according to research from the Cedars - Sinai Board of Governors Regenerative Medicine Institute.

Hamilton announced the newest organ - on - chip innovation, which recreates an intestinal lining using patient - derived stem cells, created through a partnership between Emulate and Cedars - Sinai Board of Governors Regenerative Medicine Institute.
