Unraveling the mysteries of stem cells in inflammatory bowel disease

Three investigators at Children's Hospital Los Angeles, Nandini Girish, Dr. Cambrian Liu, and Dr. Brent Polk, talk about their recent work to visualize the fates and functions of epithelial stem cells in models of inflammatory bowel disease with Editor-in-Chief Professor Mark Frey. The investigators discuss their diverse backgrounds, reveal how they started the work, and begin a spirited debate on the relative values of minivans and dogs and cats.

Got Guts: Behind the science with an Organoid Diva

Many times we read a manuscript but don’t really get to know the amazing author behind the great science.  Behind those black typewritten letters that spell a scientists name lies a person that is usually creative, intelligent, quirky, and fun.  This is certainly the case with the author of “Use of human tissue stem cell-derived organoid cultures to model enterohepatic circulation”, Dr. Sarah Blutt.  Please listen in as we learn a little bit about one of the fields Organoid Divas and what makes her tick as we discuss organoids as a biological toll booth and other topics.
