New Northwestern Medicine research has shown that reprogrammed stem cells can be used to identify patients with cancer who are likely to experience a dangerous side effect of a common chemotherapy drug.
The loss of a component of a protein complex responsible for attaching cells together activates genes that lead to the buildup of fibrous scar tissue seen in cardiac disease arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy, according to a recent study.
MPH/PhD student Erin Lambers identified mechanisms that shed light on how cardiac cells develop from stem cells, which can help scientists better understand how the heart grows and regenerates.
