New analytical tool decodes undreamt of genomic complexity 

A new computational tool developed at the Australian Regenerative Medicine Institute has enhanced our ability to decode the complexity of our genomes. The tool, called SNITCH, was developed by Dr Robin Grolaux and published today in the journal Genome Biology. Its analytical power targets DNA methylation, a process that regulates how genes are switched on and off over time.   “Our […]

Defining how pluripotency is controlled in real time

A/Prof Jenny Zenker and team awarded ARC Discovery Project to reveal how RNA dynamics steer the earliest cell fates Why the earliest decisions matter When an embryo is only a handful of cells, each cell must quickly decide its future: become part of the embryo proper (pluripotent and able to make any cell type), or […]

How to Build a Better Blood Stem Cell and Why It Matters

Imagine a cell so powerful that it can regenerate your entire blood system. Now imagine growing that cell in a lab dish, tailoring it for transplantation, and using it to treat patients with leukaemia, bone marrow failure, or rare immunodeficiencies, all without needing a donor match. That’s the promise driving a new wave of regenerative […]
