Researchers at Stanford have developed methods to enhance bone healing in diabetic patients, who often suffer from impaired fracture healing due to a deficiency in hedgehog signaling in their skeletal stem cells.
Researchers at Stanford have developed methods to identify, isolate, and use specific progenitor cell populations to generate adipose tissue and functional blood vessels in vivo.
A team of Stanford researchers have identified a skeletal stem cell (SSC) along with the protein factors needed to direct differentiation toward bone, cartilage or bone marrow stroma.
