Stem Cells – The Hope, the Hype and the Science

The genetic code of all 500,000 UK Biobank volunteer participants will be sequenced by researchers at the Wellcome Sanger Institute in the UK and deCODE genetics in Iceland. This project is the single most ambitious sequencing programme in the world undertaken by a public-private partnership, and will power the next wave of genetic and health research

In this video we explain what transfection is. Why scientists use it. And the different way to transfect cells.

A detailed overview of a study conducted by Alysson Muotri's lab at the UC San Diego Stem Cell Program which found complex network signaling developing in human cortical organoids that appear to recapitulate fetal brain development, offering an in-vitro model to study functional development of human neuronal networks.
