Eliminating leukemia, curing Huntington’s disease, repairing heart disease, BGU researchers are working to restore the function of diseased organs.

At BGU’s Regenerative Medicine and Stem Cell Research Center, scientists are taking skin cells from patients with heart disease and reprogramming them to become heart cells to study the disease. Ultimately, this may lead to correcting the defective heart cells that can then be transplanted. They’re also studying stem cells that reside in bone marrow, which could make life-altering treatments for individuals with leukemia and other cancers possible. Other scientists are developing cartilage-regenerating strategies for osteoarthritis and injuries.
