About tissue regeneration, fibroblasts and reindeer
In 2005, the Stem Cell Network inaugurated the Till & McCulloch Award to honour the important work of Canadian scientists Drs. James Till and Ernest McCulloch, for which the annual Till & McCulloch Meetings (TMM) are also named. This year’s TMM attendees had the pleasure of watching Dr. Till introduce the 2021 Drew Lyall Award […]
It’s all about the Niche! Take-aways and highlights from TMM 2021
This year, the Till & McCulloch Meetings (TMM) featured two particularly exciting Plenary Sessions for those of us with a passion for the nitty-gritty of stem cell biology: on November 15, a session entitled “Endogenous stem cells and their niches” featured talks by Prof. Valentina Greco (Yale) and Prof. Sean Morrison (Texas Southwestern Medical Center), […]
“Good Enough” tissue engineering
It is the tricky task of tissue engineers to recreate tissues without instructions or authentic building blocks. Nevertheless, researchers have been imitating tissues in vitro from various cell types, according to their best judgment assembly protocols, through a lengthy process of iterative trial and error. The results have been impressive, though by and large quite […]
