At LIAN we study different aspects of cardiac differentiation from pluripotent stem cells. The human heart has a limited capacity for repair and regeneration. Ischemic damage during myocardial infarction causes cardiomyocyte death, followed by an inflammatory response and subsequent replacement […]

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are adult stem cells with stromal functions and more limited differentiation capacity than pluripotent stem cells. However, due to their clinical safety and immunomodulatory potential, they have quickly become a cell type with great potential for […]

Spinal cord injury (SCI) usually arises from a sudden, traumatic blow to the spine that causes a fracture or dislocation of the vertebrae. Damage begins at the time of injury when displaced bone fragments and disc or ligament material tear […]
