Scientists design gene delivery systems for cells in the brain and spinal cord NIH-funded breakthrough could enable targeted therapies for many neurological disorders.

We've launched the Armamentarium, a new toolkit for targeted gene delivery to the brain and spinal cord.

This #OpenScience resource was made possible thanks to support from the NIH BRAIN Initiative and teamwork with our collaborators.

Engineered heart muscle allografts for heart repair in primates and humans - Nature Epicardial engineered heart muscle allografts from induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes can safely and effectively remuscularize chronically failing hearts in rhesus macaques, leading to improved cardiac function and paving the way for human clinical trials.

A muscle patch developed using stem cells can help to repair failing hearts without adverse effects, according to a paper in Nature. #Medsky 🧪
