Dr. Weissman was the first scientist to identify and isolate mammalian blood-forming stem cells in mice, and his work has contributed to the understanding of how a single hematopoietic stem cell can give rise to specialized blood cells. He talks about developing new treatments for metastatic breast cancer and severe combined immunodeficiency. He also discusses myeloid bias in aging and strategies for commercializing new therapies.
In July 2024, we attended ISSCR 2024, the annual meeting of the International Society for Stem Cell Research, in Hamburg, Germany. We spoke with delegates about their research, their impressions of the meeting, and the most memorable research presented. They discussed their experiences in Europe and where they would like to see the meeting go next.
Dr. Davide Marotta is the Program Director for In-Space Biomanufacturing at the International Space Station National Laboratory. Dr. Catriona Jamieson is the Director of the Sanford Stem Cell Institute at the University of California, San Diego. In this special episode recorded in front of a live audience at ISSCR 2024 in Hamburg, Germany, they talk about the opportunities and challenges of working with stem cells in a microgravity environment, and what this could mean for the future of stem cell-based therapies. They discuss the challenges of culturing cells in space, the need for risk reduction and collaboration, and how microgravity affects stem cell growth and aging. They also discuss the opportunities that come with the growing popularity of private spaceflight.
