Steenbock professorship awarded to Marina Emborg

The Steenbock Professorship provides research funds to recipients annually for 10 years and honors those faculty who have made major contributions to the advancement of knowledge, primarily through their research endeavors at UW­–Madison, but also as a result of their teaching and service activities. The award supports recipients as they explore innovative research directions and new approaches to their research area.

A new approach to “hypoimmune” gene editing of pluripotent stem cell (PSC) therapies

Matthew E. Brown, PhD, an assistant professor in the Division of Transplantation and an SCRMC member, recently published an article describing a new approach to “hypoimmune” gene editing of pluripotent stem cell (PSC) therapies. This work was made possible thanks to support from the Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation (WARF) and collaboration with the SCRMC.

How cells rust to death with age

By studying mouse models, scientists at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health have discovered how inflammation makes genetic instructions in muscle stem cells, or MuSCs, unreadable. DNA should tell the body how to regulate iron, so without those regulations, cells rust to death in a process called ferroptosis.

Genetic blueprint behind early brain development uncovered by team of Waisman investigators

In a new study published in the journal Neuron, a team of researchers that included SCRMC members and Waisman Center investigators has, for the first time, mapped the genetic and regulatory networks that guide the early maturation of neurons in the primate prefrontal cortex (PFC) – a brain region essential for cognition, decision-making, and social behavior.
