Can cell fate programming be more predictive?

My review in @stemcellreports outlines a computational blueprint linking prediction, perturbation and validation into design-test-learn loops.

3/3 This level of control over retinal cell fate is expected to enhance the precision of retinal disease models and support the development of targeted cell replacement therapies.

1/3 In a new publication from CMRI’s Stem Cell Medicine and Computational Biology Units, retinal organoids were used to define the role of retinoic acid (vitamin A) signalling in early human retinal development.

2/3 The study demonstrates that retinoic acid orchestrates cell fate decisions, maturation, and regional patterning, highlighting its central role in establishing retinal identity during human development.

1/3 We were pleased to hear CMRI Prof Robyn Jamieson featured on ABC Radio’s Evenings program this week, where she shared expert insights on the rapidly advancing field of gene therapy and its impact on restoring vision for Australians living with genetic eye disease.

[CMRI @CMRI_AUS]

2/3 As a leading clinician-researcher in this space, Professor Jamieson was invited to speak about the breakthroughs transforming patient outcomes and what lies ahead for this cutting-edge area of medicine.

[CMRI @CMRI_AUS]

The tool can reliably identify common and rare cell populations when analysing complex single-cell data sets and has important potential in disease research and precision medicine.

[CMRI @CMRI_AUS]

Children's Medical Research Institute's Head of Computational Systems Biology, A/Prof Pengyi Yang, has a new publication out today in Molecular Systems Biology which involved developing a new AI method known as Hydra. @SpringerNature
