“Laser-Based Cell Manipulation” Featuring Dr. Marinna Madrid

On this episode of the Stem Cell Podcast, Dr. Marinna Madrid from Cellino discusses how lasers and image-guided machine learning can make iPSC-derived cell therapies viable at a large scale.

Dr. Marinna Madrid is Co-Founder of Cellino, an early-stage biotechnology company seeking to make personalized, autologous cell therapies viable at large scale for the first time. She talks about how lasers and image-guided machine learning can make iPSC-derived cell therapies more accessible to patients, and her journey from a community college to Harvard.

This Episode's Stem Cell Roundup:

  • – Researchers found that a decline in IGF1 in the bone marrow microenvironment initiates hematopoietic stem cell aging, and that direct stimulation with IGF1 could reverse this phenotype.
  • – Krüppel-Like Factor 1 stimulates new cardiomyocyte production by reprogramming gene networks that regulate cardiomyocyte differentiation and mitochondrial metabolism.
  • – Scientists showed that mosaic embryos can be rescued through BMP4-dependent apoptosis of aneuploidy in the primary germ layers.
  • – Generated from a pap smear sample, cervical organoids can be used as an experimental platform for sexually transmitted infection and cervical cancer research.
