Connecting the Dots: From Stem Cells to Human Health

Since Shinya Yamanaka discovered a method to create human induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells, Gladstone researchers have built on this technology to create numerous iPS cell lines, coax iPS cells into a myriad of tissue types, use them as a tool to study disease, and even begin creating therapies using these cells.

New Bay Area Spin-Off Company to Develop Drugs for Multiple Sclerosis and Alzheimer’s Disease

Senior Investigator Katerina Akassoglou has fundamentally changed the way scientists think of neurological disorders. She made the seminal discovery that blood leaks are toxic to the brain by promoting inflammation and destroying neurons. Her research led the scientific community to reassess the complex relationship between the brain, immune, and vascular systems.
