Ep. 13: STAP Stem Cells and Blogging Featuring Dr. Paul Knoepfler

23 februari 2014 · 1 uur 9 min

Beluister deze aflevering

Guest:
STAP stem cells were a new method of generating pluripotent stem cells published in a paper a few weeks ago. When it came out, scientists scratched their heads and wondered whether or not this new method could actually work and be reproducible. Well, while the jury is still out, it is not looking good and we bring on the show one of the most recognized voices of stem cell research, Dr. Paul Knoepfler to discuss the STAP stem cell theory. In addition to running a laboratory, Dr. Knoepfler maintains an amazingly active stem cell blog breaking all the latest stem cell news, and educating the public about stem cells.

Guest:
In this episode, we interview another stem cell pioneer, Dr. Sean Morrison, who is internationally recognized for his work in understanding the mechanisms of stem cell regulatory mechanisms and how this is relevant in cancer. In the science roundup we cover zombie bees, stem cells for baldness, dipping cells in acid to make stem cells, and how to identify the difference between iPSCs and hESCs.

Ep. 10: RPE and Macular Degeneration Featuring Dr. Sally Temple

14 januari 2014 · 1 uur 13 min

Beluister deze aflevering

Guest:
In this episode, we bring on a true pioneer in the stem cell field, Dr. Sally Temple, scientific director of the Neural Stem Cell Institute. Dr. Temple discovered that stem-like cells exist in the adult brain in the late 80s and has since gone on to characterize these cells extensively. Her group has recently discovered a novel stem cell in the eye that they plan to use as a new therapy for macular degeneration, the leading cause of blindness. In the science roundup we talk about everything from caffeine boosting memory, to the possibility of the Y chromosome disappearing.

Guest: Lees meer

Justine Miller, a PhD candidate from Lorenz Studer's lab at Memorial Sloan Kettering, joins us to discuss her recent paper in Cell Stem Cell showing how to age stem cell-derived neurons in the culture dish. In our science round up, we discuss everything from the ground state in stem cells to male birth control. We then dive into other stem cell topics including reprogramming via protein transduction and CRISPR-mediated gene repair.

Ep. 5: Parkinson’s Disease and Stem Cells

9 november 2013 · 1 uur 7 min

Beluister deze aflevering

In this episode we do things a little different. Since we both work on Parkinson's disease we will not be featuring a guest. Instead, we will talk about the etiology of the disease and cover various forms of therapy - with an emphasis on stem cells. Our science roundup includes: CO2 levels, "Project Einstein", paper retraction rates, SARS, and plexins. Lees meer

Ep. 1: In Vivo Reprogramming and Mini Brains Featuring Dr. Juergen Knoblich

28 september 2013 · 47 min

Beluister deze aflevering

In this episode we start off with a quick general science news roundup before discussing two new papers in stem cell research. Both papers appeared in the journal Nature. The first describes a novel method of reprogramming somatic cells into induced pluripotent stem cells in vivo, and other describes a method to make a mini cerebral cortex from human embryonic stem cells. The senior author on the latter study, Dr. Juergen Knoblich, joins us to discuss this paper and its implications. Lees meer
