Bioengineer Shaochen Chen has developed a method of 3D printing live human tissue that could one day be used to heal damaged spinal cords, hearts, and other vital organs. And, because his technology uses stem cells, the transplant tissue can be patient specific. Now, he's using his technique to help researchers Alysson Muotri and Karl Wahlin understand brain and eye development. Series: "Stem Cell Channel" [Health and Medicine] [Science] [Show ID: 34336]

O bioengenheiro Shaochen Chen desenvolveu um método de impressão 3D de tecido humano vivo que poderá algum dia ser usado para curar medulas espinhais, corações e outros órgãos vitais danificados. E, como sua tecnologia usa células-tronco, o tecido do transplante pode ser específico para o paciente. Agora, ele está usando sua técnica para ajudar os pesquisadores Alysson Muotri e Karl Wahlin a entenderem o desenvolvimento do cérebro e dos olhos.

Los organoides cerebrales, u organoides corticales, son muy prometedores para encontrar intervenciones para afecciones neurológicas y ya han demostrado ser útiles para comprender los efectos del Zika y los síndromes neurológicos raros como el AGS. Pero ¿cómo se hacen? Cleber Trujillo, científico del proyecto del programa de células madre de San Diego, ofrece una breve descripción de cómo el laboratorio Muotri nutre a las células madre pluripotentes para que se conviertan en organoides del cerebro.

Computer science students are getting involved in high-level research projects in the beginning of their college careers thanks to an innovative program at UC San Diego. The Early Research Scholars Program teams students up with professors who have ongoing research projects. Students get guidance from a centralized mentoring team, which helps them with the basic skills needed to conduct research, so their professors can focus on the details of each project. Students conduct research on everything from autonomous cars, to the microbiome, to software verification. The program has been such a success, it is expanding to multiple universities, with plans to keep it growing. Series: "Computer Science Channel" [Science] [Education] [Show ID: 34691]

Cancer becomes highly dangerous when it spreads from its original site to a different vital organ. These secondary tumors called metastases are what kill most patients. Despite hundreds of years of research, it is not understood why, where, and how cancer spreads to organs like the brain. Lawrence Livermore Lab scientist describes how they bring together cancer biology, 3D printing and material science, to understand and hopefully prevent metastases in the future.
