Engineering Stem Cells for Regenerative Medicine

Human pluripotent stem cells (hPSC) can generate any type of cell. Here, we use hPSCs to generate blood-brain barrier endothelial cells and cardiomyocytes. By utilizing hPSC-derived cells, we can potentially study disease mechanism and drug screening.
