We transplant the cells on a scaffold that keeps them alive, then directs them to leave in a controlled manner and migrate into the surrounding tissue. This is the first time that has been done.

Delivery of cells on scaffolds that promoted both activation and migration led to extensive repopulation of host muscle tissue and increased the regeneration of muscle fibers at the wound. If we only had one or the other signal - sticky molecules or drugs - we didn't get any significant regeneration.

Working in front of the camera keeps me alive.

Writing with you is the only thing that keeps me alive.

I feel like the fellow in jail who is watching his scaffold being built.

We show how the normal function of the gene keeps dopamine cells from dying. If the gene is abnormal, these protective mechanisms cannot be brought into play.
