A twist on developmental regulation of the face
During development, transcription factors are important in unlocking genes and making them available to cellular machinery. Joanna Wysocka and her colleagues found a novel sequence that allows coordination between different transcription factors during the development of the face.

Growing new blood vessels when arteries are blocked
Institute researchers have discovered that certain purified stem cell components of normal fat, when combined in the right proportions and transplanted into the body, will grow into new blood vessels. The researchers showed that when the technique was used in mice it restored blood flow to areas where areas where arteries were blocked

Researchers invent way to purify developing human brain cells
Researchers created a method of isolating and studying different human neural stem and progenitor cells. Transplanting these pure cells back into mice allows them to study the whole tree of all developing human brain cells.
