Ideas Grants to support innovative research

Two research teams, led by The Kids Research Institute Australia, have been awarded more than $2 million to fund innovative projects.

Murine bone-derived mesenchymal stem cells undergo molecular changes after a single passage in culture

The rarity of the mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) population poses a significant challenge for MSC research. Therefore, these cells are often expanded in vitro, prior to use. However, long-term culture has been shown to alter primary MSC properties.

Researchers uncover the hidden wonder of cells

Researchers from The Kids Research Institute Australia and The University of Western Australia have developed a new technique to see inside cells with unprecedented detail, revealing a complicated web of interactions that provides new insights into how cells stay healthy.
