Congratulations to Sahana Sitaraman, winner of our September Monthly Showcase! Sahana’s story, “Stem Cells Could Save the Giant Panda”, published in The Scientist, describes how scientists learned to generate giant panda stem cells to create better therapies for sick pandas, showing that there could still be hope for this vulnerable bear species. Have you ever seen a giant panda? Those black and white patches, that cuddly face and those adorable shenanigans: trademark signatures of the vulnerable bear species native to China. Less than 3000 pandas remain in the world. If you haven't seen one, there's still hope. Jing Liu from the Chinese Academy of Sciences and his team have learnt how to generate giant panda stem cells from ordinary skin cells. These can potentially be used to create panda embryos in the future. But for now, they plan to use them to create better therapies for sick pandas.

✨ BUT, WHAT DOES THAT MEAN ? ✨ Would you like to find out more about our project, but feel overwhelmed by all the scientific jargon? Don't worry! Here are some simple explanations of the key terms we use every day with BOTS. 🧪 A hydrogel is essentially a material gorged with water (up to 90% or more). These materials are attracting particular attention in the biomedical field. For example, as part of the BOTS project, we are using hydrogels to assess the efficacy of drugs and choose the most suitable treatments for breast cancer patients. 🌊 Discover marine hydrogel! This innovative material is made from ingredients extracted from the sea, such as algae and shellfish. Marine resources play a crucial role in the blue bioeconomy, offering an alternative to fossil materials and helping to combat climate change while preserving our precious natural resources. In the Atlantic area, many marine wastes can be recovered to extract natural polymers and bioactive molecules, paving the way for a sustainable and innovative future. 🧬Organoids are small three-dimensional structures are grown in the laboratory from stem cells, faithfully reproducing the organisation and functions of specific organs in the human body such as the brain, liver or intestines. With BOTS, we focus on breast cancer, and organoids are invaluable tools for studying its development, testing drugs and researching innovative treatments. 🧫3D cell culture approach's recreates the body's microenvironments where cells can develop and interact with each other and their environment. Organoids, a form of 3D cell culture, play a key role in this approach. This technique is emerging as a crucial tool for reducing the use of animal experimentation, opening up new perspectives in biomedical research. If you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to ask❓ #ProjectBOTS #CancerResearch #InterregAtlanticArea #ERDF #ScienceCommunity #Interreg #EuropeanUnion #scientificresearch #Organoid

We wouldn’t be here without our Director & President, Dr. David Haussler who is also the Scientific Director, University of California, Santa Cruz Genomics Institute in the Baskin Engineering at UCSC. Many in the genetics and biotechnology fields may be familiar with David’s contributions to the international Human Genome Project. He is also credited with foundational work in machine learning and pioneering the use of hidden Markov models (HMMs), stochastic context-free grammars, and the discriminative kernel method for analyzing DNA, RNA, and protein sequences. He was the first to apply the latter methods to the genome-wide search for gene expression biomarkers in cancer. As a collaborator on the international Human Genome Project, his team posted the first publicly available computational assembly of the human genome sequence on the Internet on July 7, 2000. Following this, his team developed the UCSC Genome Browser, a web-based tool that is used extensively in biomedical research. We’re grateful to have David’s guidance as we embark on launching a new way for scientists to collaborate on accelerating genomic research projects for biodiversity conservation. Stay tuned for more details coming soon. To learn more about our mission and team, please visit www.wiseancestors.org, and to learn more about David’s accomplishments and work please visit https://lnkd.in/gNTNYy86.

A floating fish made from human heart cells has been created. Researchers from Harvard University, in collaboration with colleagues from Emory University, have developed the first fully autonomous biobot fish made from human heart muscle cells grown from human stem cells. The artificial fish swims, replicating the muscle contractions of a functioning heart. The biobot fish has two layers of muscle cells, one on each side of the tail fin. When one side contracts, the other side stretches. Stretching triggers the opening of a sensitive protein channel, which contracts the opposite side. This forms a closed-loop system that can move the fish for over 100 days. Remarkably, the biobot fish can also self-train over time. The amplitude of muscle contractions, maximum swimming speed, and muscle coordination all increased over the first month as the cardiomyocyte cells matured. #cardiomyocyte #fish #heart #technologies #human #cells #biobot #artificial #replicating
