Pitt team receives NIH award to optimize tissue-engineered vascular graft design

Just as a climbing plant needs the right trellis to thrive, a small-diameter tissue-engineered vascular graft (TEVG) needs the right scaffold to transform seeded cells into a native-like artery that can save a life.

Study demonstrates a proof-of-concept stem cell treatment in Parkinson's disease mouse model

The mature brain is infamously bad at repairing itself following damage like that caused by trauma or strokes, or from degenerative diseases like Parkinson's. Stem cells, which are endlessly adaptable, have offered the promise of better neural repair.
