Cell Shorts

mini-documentaries on the use & impact of hiPS cells in labs around the world
Cell Shorts:
A new discovery about ALS
February 13, 2020
Stem cell researcher Evangelos Kiskinis and his colleagues discovered a strange — literal — wrinkle in neurons from ALS patients. Allen Institute for Cell Science resources are helping them study these features in more detail.​
Cell Shorts:
Accelerating degenerative eye disease therapies
June 25, 2019
Vision loss caused by age-related macular degeneration (AMD) affects millions of people worldwide. See how Kapil Bharti from the National Eye Institute is using our Allen Cell Collection to help develop new therapies for this disease.
Cell Shorts:
A new window into heart cells
January 30, 2019
Christopher Chen and his colleagues at Boston University's Tissue Microfabrication Laboratory used the Allen Cell Collection, a publicly available collection of human iPS cells, to study how sarcomeres are generated in cardiomyocytes (heart cells). Sarcomeres are a structure that gives our heart muscle cells the ability to contract and pump blood. You can read the Chen Lab's scientific publication on this research in Developmental Cell.
Cell Shorts:
A common platform for human cell research
March 7, 2018
Bruce Conklin from the Gladstone Institutes created WTC: a widely used human induced pluripotent stem cell line. The Allen Institute for Cell Science uses this line in the Allen Cell Collection: the first publicly available collection of gene edited, fluorescently tagged human induced pluripotent stem cells. See how the Conklin lab is using these gene edited cells to find therapies for life threatening human genetic diseases.
Cell Shorts:
Illuminating the kidney
July 26, 2017
In our new video series Cell Shorts, see how researcher Beno Freeman and his colleagues at the University of Washington are using the Allen Institute for Cell Science’s publicly available human induced pluripotent stem cells to study kidney disease and regeneration.

The Cell Catalog contains our completed cell lines, which are available through Coriell as part of the Allen Cell Collection. Click a cell line on the first page of the Cell Catalog to opens pages with supplemental material (data, images, videos) related to the rigorous testing and quality control steps each line has undergone.
