Disease in a Dish: What Mini-Hearts and Other Organs Reveal about Long COVID

San Jose Mercury News—Senior Investigators Melanie Ott, MD, PhD, and Bruce Conklin, MD, recount how they used miniature balls of beating heart cells called organoids to study the effects of COVID-19 on the heart. The heart cells were derived from a person's skin cells, thanks to technology pioneered by Senior Investigator and Nobel Laureate Shinya Yamanaka, MD, PhD.

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.
