Finding the Founder Cells: Determining the Origin of Pluripotency In Vitro

In the lab, stem cells begin their life in a cell culture dish by first assembling into organised colonies. This particular colony architecture is re-established every time the cells are subdivided and expanded. However, why and how this occurs has been a mystery, until now.  Recently published research involving ARMI scientists has found a distinct […]

Foetal growth restriction: How scientists are unlocking the secrets of bones

In a bid to help prevent disorders such as foetal growth restriction, researchers at the Monash University-based Australian Regenerative Medicine Institute (ARMI) are examining the body’s response to developmental defects. Severe foetal growth restriction (also known as intrauterine growth restriction) accounts for about one in 20 stillborn births in Australia. The term refers to when […]
