The Andreadis group aims to understand methods to engineer small-diameter, transplantable blood vessels using adult mesenchymal stem cells from bone marrow, hair follicles, and human iPSC.
The Stelios Andreadis research group has discovered that introduction of a single pluripotency gene, Nanog reversed the effects of cellular senescence and restored the ability of MSCs to generate contractile force.
The Andreadis laboratory discovered a population of neural crest like stem cells in cultures of postnatal human epidermal keratinocytes (they were termed as KC-NC) by mimicking signaling events that occur at the neural plate border.
Building the liver, from human pluripotent stem cells, is an enormous scientific challenge and could help for chronic liver diseases like cirrhosis for which is there is no medical treatment.
Building the pancreas, from human pluripotent stem cells, is also an enormous scientific challenge, and could help for diseases like type I insulin-dependent diabetes.
The endoderm, labeled above at different stages of development, is the least understood germ layer and gives rise to internal organs like the liver, pancreas, and lung.
Molecular imaging uses a wide variety of modalities to image biological events in living subjects, including small animals, large animals, and patients.
