June’s
issue of Nature Materials has a focus on stem cell culture. The first of three reviews discusses how various
inherent properties of materials may be engineered to regulate stem cell
decisions, while a second focuses on the influence of the nano scale
extracellular environment on stem cell fate via integrin-matrix
interactions. The third review outlines progress
in high-throughput materials discovery of growth
substrates for large-scale human pluripotent stem cell culture. A Perspective article discusses the interplay
between soluble factors and physical microenvironment in the control of stem
cell fate. A variety of primary research
articles and supporting “News and Views” pieces are also contained in the focus. Worth a look.
Bite-size summaries of new insights and innovations from the global bioengineering research community. Articles are ten days old or less (usually just a couple of days old). Each post has a link to the original paper if you want to read more. Find me on Twitter: @ros_daw .
Very inspirational to hear about someone pursuing their dream and becoming successful instead of following the traditional path.
