Cell culture is a central technique used for a plethora of research applications including in the modeling of complex diseases, creating transgenic animals, gene therapy, cell therapy, regenerating lost tissue, and organ biogenesis.
Researchers in Prof. Gerald Crabtree's laboratory have produced a mouse allowing high-throughput screening for activity and inhibition of virtually any chromatin modifier in any murine tissue.
Stanford researchers have developed a system for precise genetic modification of human embryonic stem cells (ECSs) and induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs).
