A new technique developed by Â鶹Çø researchers for mechanically manipulating stem cells could lead to new stem cell treatments, which have yet to fulfill their therapeutic potential.
Stem cell therapy has been heralded as a new way to treat many diseases, ranging from multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer’s and glaucoma to Type 1 diabetes. The anticipated advances have yet to materialize in part because it has proved much more difficult than originally thought to control the types of cells that develop from stem cells.
Funding supports groundbreaking research in the natural sciences and engineering
The Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) has awarded 101 Â鶹Çø research projects funding from its Discovery Grants competition for a total investment of $23.5 million.
The Discovery Grants support ongoing programs with long-term goals, recognizing the creativity and innovation that are at the heart of all research advances.
Â鶹Çø honours its accomplished researchers with Distinguished James Â鶹Çø Professor, James Â鶹Çø Professor, and William Dawson Scholars awards.
