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. |

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. |

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. |

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.
