They encased mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in alginate hydrogel capsules, a biocompatible material made of brown algae. “Many of the cells die after transplantation,” says Ravi Ghanta, co-lead ...

The researchers package stem cells in a capsule made of alginate, a gel-like substance. Once packaged, the cells stay put, releasing their healing factors over time.

Stem cell scientist Dr Paul Verma of Monash University in Melbourne describes the capsule of growth factors like a "slow release fertiliser".

The stem cell capsules have not yet been demonstrated in humans. However, in a study carried out using rodents, the stem cells were implanted next to wounded hearts using minimally invasive ...

Bioactive nano-capsules to hijack cell behavior Date: September 14, 2020 Source: University of Basel Summary: Many diseases are caused by defects in signaling pathways of body cells. In the future ...

The researchers lead by Palivan produced capsules harboring NOS and sGC, which are naturally present in cells, but at much lower concentrations: the NOS-capsules, producing NO, act similarly to ...

Here’s how it works. Terminal Velocity Aerospace technicians work on the RED-4U capsule prototype, which carried stem cells 20 miles (32 kilometers) into the sky for a space-readiness test.

NASA and SpaceX's Crew-11 mission is made up of two U.S. astronauts, one from Japan and a Russian cosmonaut. They'll be ...
