It won't be long before scientists can order shipments of disease-specific cell lines from the Harvard Stem Cell Institute (HSCI) so that they can study diseases in Petri dishes, according to a new study released by scientists at HSCI.
"This has really been one of the goals of stem cell biology for many years—to be able to produce customized disease-specific lines for different patients," said George Q. Daley, a member of the executive committee of HSCI and the senior author of the paper, which was...
Studying many diseases, especially degenerative diseases, often entails isolating cells that are not readily accessible, such as brain cells. But by deriving patient-specific iPS cells with the new technology, Hochedlinger said, researchers will be able to study the development of the disease in a lab dish.
The disease-specific iPS lines will soon be deposited in the new HSCI iPS Core Facility at Harvard-affiliated Mass. General Hospital to be produced at a larger scale for distribution among the scientific community.
