CReM Broncospheres
Boston University Center for Regenerative Medicine (CReM) researcher, Katherine McCauley, grew spheres of purified airway cells from human stem cells. On the left, spheres of cells with a mutated CFTR gene, the cause of cystic fibrosis, have a [...]defective protein and do not swell when exposed to a drug called forskolin. Spheres containing cells with corrected genes (right) are able to swell. Cells like these may eventually allow a more personalized approach to cystic fibrosis treatment.

Human iPS Cells Turning into Lung Cells
Watch human iPS cells turn into lung cells in this video. Boston University Center for Regenerative Medicine (CReM) researcher, Finn Hawkins, engineered human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPS cells) with a reporter gene with a reporter gene that [...]glows green at the “fate decisionâ€â€”the moment they turn into lung cells.
