3D modelling of a child's kidney cells led by MCRI researchers is another step towards precision medicine, according to a paper published today in Nature Communications journal. Using kidney tissue created in an MCRI laboratory and induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) from a young patient the
A correctly beating heart is vital to a baby's growth during pregnancy, helping guard against heart defects at birth, which are the most common birth defects.Using human pluripotent stem cells, a Murdoch Children's Research Institute (MCRI) team showed that a gene called NKX2-5 is responsible for
The Academy's election of Prof Little recognises her outstanding contribution to stem cell medicine. She will be formally admitted at a ceremony in Canberra today, joining the Academy's elite fellowship of 524 individuals who have made a sustained and significant contribution to Australian
New research led by the Murdoch Children's Research Institute (MCRI), has combined gene editing technology with stem cell kidney regeneration to correct a patient's gene mutation. This is the first time a patient has had kidney regenerated from their stem cells in Australia. The research, is part
First published 27 September 2017 This three-dimensional (3D) bioprinter is the first that Organovo has placed in the Southern hemisphere will support kidney tissue engineering and disease modelling research of Professor Melissa Little and her colleagues within MCRI's world-class Stem Cell
Two MCRI researchers have been recognised by the National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) with prestigious research excellence awards. Professor Melissa Little, Director of MCRI's Cell Biology theme, was presented with the Elizabeth Blackburn Fellowship, Australia's top award for a
Researchers from the Murdoch Children's Research Institute (MCRI), University of Melbourne and Leiden University Medical Centre (LUMC) in The Netherlands have made an important step towards making human kidneys from stem cells that they one day hope can be used to treat kidney disease.The research
The University of Queensland's 2017 Alumni Awards recognise a diverse range of leaders who have created change by advancing knowledge, powering economies and advocating for human rights and dignity. UQ Vice-Chancellor and President Professor Peter Høj said the awards recognised alumni who had
Organovo Holdings, Inc., a three-dimensional biology company focused on delivering scientific and medical breakthroughs using its 3D bioprinting technology, today announced a collaboration with Professor Melissa Little and the Murdoch Children's Research Institute, to develop an architecturally
Programs to improve the health and prospects of kids in detention are also more likely to reduce reoffending than "getting tough on crime", according to Murdoch Children's Research Institute Senior Research Fellow and the Society for Mental Health Research's 2018 Rising Star Dr Rohan
