Current knowledge of cell behavior is incomplete and biased, as most studies focus on white European males. Deaths from major diseases are decreasing, but racial disparities are increasing. Together with The New York Stem Cell Foundation Research Institute, we are pioneering an effort to develop ethnically diverse induced pluripotent stem cell lines to create more inclusive cellular models for studying disease – addressing critical caps in biomedical research.

About us
The mission of the Allen Institute for Cell Science is to create dynamic and multi-scale visual models of cell organization, dynamics and activities that capture experimental observation, theory and prediction to understand and predict cellular behavior in its normal, regenerative, and pathological contexts.

Allen Institute for Cell Science reposted this
So excited to share the results of a recent mission to the space station - it's been a great ride working with Arun Sharma and Axiom Space along with BioServe Space Technologies and NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration on this project. And thanks to the Allen Institute for providing the SOX2 iPSC reporter line. https://lnkd.in/gwAqrKEE

Ad Astra! Congrats to collaborators Arun Sharma, Clive Svendsen and team on their recent publication.
Growing stem cells? In space? In off-the-shelf, affordable lab hardware? In 3D? We did all that…and more! 🚀🧫 Thrilled to publish our new paper, “Surface tension enables induced pluripotent stem cell culture in commercially available hardware during spaceflight” in Nature NPJ Microgravity! Read for free here: https://lnkd.in/gHeTScgi As with all our space biosciences studies, this was a hugely collaborative effort. Thanks to Clive Svendsen Maedeh Mozneb, Ph.D. Madelyn Arzt and the Cedars-Sinai team, Pinar Mesci, PhD, MSc Jana Stoudemire and Axiom Space, BioServe Space Technologies, NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration, SpaceX, Allen Institute, International Space Station National Laboratory, and Leidos.

Our Cell Line of the Week is SOX-2 - our first cell line to go into space! 🚀 Last year in collaboration with Axiom Space, Cedars-Sinai Regenerative Medicine researchers Arun Sharma and Clive Svendsen sent SOX-2 to the International Space Station National Laboratory to study how microgravity impacts stem cell production and growth. Human induced pluripotent stem cells (the type made from skin or blood cells) have the potential for treating disease, but mass producing faces challenges that may be overcome in the near weightlessness of earth's orbit.
