Oh the places our stem cells will go! Congrats to Arun Sharma, Clive Svendsen, and collaborators on another successful launch. We look forward to seeing what we learn about how microgravity impacts stem cells!
Our experiment this August producing stem cells in space was a big team effort! 🚀 Here, NASA astronaut Tracy Caldwell Dyson inserts a BioServe Space Technologies BioCell into a microscope on the International Space Station National Laboratory. Inside are cells prepared by our team at Cedars-Sinai, provided by Allen Institute for Cell Science and the Cedars-Sinai Biomanufacturing Center. Also critical is mission support from Axiom Space, Leidos, SpaceX, Northrop Grumman, NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration, and KEYENCE CORPORATION. Great communication and collaboration are key to making these complex space research projects happen! 🛰️ Learn more here: https://lnkd.in/g_ptXyWE

Allen Institute for Cell Science reposted this
After seeing The National Institutes of Health's BRAIN Initiative Photo and Video Contest winners, we're feeling inspired to brush up on our microscopy skills. Luckily, Dr. Caroline Hookway, a live-cell imaging specialist from the Allen Institute, talks about how to stay on top of new tech and apply it to your research. 🎙️ Listen now on STEMCELL Technologies' Lab Coats & Life Podcast: https://bit.ly/3SV4jhr

Out of this world science! 🚀 Congrats to Cedars-Sinai's Arun Sharma and Clive Svendsen on another successful launch to the International Space Station! The mission is part of a Cedars-Sinai Academic Medicine study on the impact of microgravity on stem cell production, including cell lines from the Allen Institute for Cell Science.

Thank you to PAIR-UP leadership and participants for joining the Allen Institute for Cell Science last week to learn about image analysis! Participants brought their own data to the workshop and put in the work during ~12 hour days to extract numbers from their image data. Together they built a supportive and collaborative community. Everyone should be very proud of their work!
