Berkeley bioengineer Irina Conboy and Kevin Healy,
professor of bioengineering and material sciences & engineering, are developing an
injectable nanomaterial gel that could protect implanted stem cells as they help
repair or regenerate diseased tissue or organs. The nanomaterial acts like an organic
scaffold, providing structural support while preventing rejection as the new cells
integrate with existing tissue. Here, red rodent heart cells have been injected with
white gel.
