The new @stemcellpodcast episode is out! It was a real pleasure to speak with Drs. Daylon James & @ArunSharmaPhD about vascular organoids, stem cell engraftment, and our labâs work. Thanks for the thoughtful questions and for spotlighting our research!
đą A new episode is out! We chat with Dr. Juan Melero-Martin (@MeleroMartinLab) at @harvardmed and @BostonChildrens about how #VascularNetworks are formed and the mechanisms by which the vasculature modulates the engraftment and activity of various human stem cells. đ Listen

Great overview in @ConversationEDU on different types of stems cells, pros, cons and promise for the future. We agree with author, A/Prof Jennifer Zenker @LabZenker @ARMI_Labs, that stem cells, when truly mastered, remain âone of the most promising frontiers in modern medicineâ.
Stem cells arenât miracle cures â but with the right science, strategy and support, they could transform medicine.đŹ ARMI's A/Prof Jenny Zenker (@LabZenker) from breaks it down in @ConversationEDU:đ https://t.co/vud1X2feJA
