Australian Regenerative Medicine Institute: Restoring health, repairing damage, regenerating the aging body monashuniversity.bsky.social #stemcell #regenmed
"I was energised about opportunities to better connect WA projects with ARMI’s strengths. I look forward to continued collaboration across states as Australia builds a strong, integrated regenerative medicine landscape.” - Prof Sharath Sriram

Great to host you, Sharath.

This kind of structural insight could help improve how we grow and use stem cells in research, therapy, and regenerative medicine.📍From the lab bench to future treatments.

Adam’s work focuses on the cell’s internal skeleton — microtubules and centrosomes — and how their organisation supports stem cell identity.

By tracking these structures, he’s revealing new insights into how stem cells stay flexible.

Why it matters: better markers for cell quality control, clearer rules across mammals, and foundations for conservation, livestock breeding, and research on fertility and healthy ageing. Read more: armi.org.au/news-media/n...
Defining how pluripotency is controlled in real time - Australian Regenerative Medicine Institute
A/Prof Jenny Zenker and team awarded ARC Discovery Project to reveal how RNA dynamics steer the earliest cell fates Why the earliest decisions matter When an embryo is only a handful of cells, each cell must quickly decide its future: become part of the embryo proper (pluripotent and able to make any cell type), or […]

People and partners: microinjection and live imaging are led by Dr Hongbin Jin. Probe chemistry is developed with Dr Liam Adair within Professor Elizabeth New's lab at the University of Sydney.

Why this is novel: it treats RNA position and balance as a fate signal, not only a message. It also opens a way to explore influence on fate without editing DNA.

Next steps: the team will build gentle, real-time probes to map where RNAs sit and when proteins are made, in mouse embryos and in human-relevant models such as iPSCs and iBlastoids.

New discovery: in mammals, as embryos progress from 16 to 32 cells, RNA within each cell pools to one side. The next division gives daughter cells different starting kits and biases their futures.

His findings suggest we need to stop thinking of ageing as a straight line, and start looking for its curves.

Sex-specific non-linear DNA methylation trajectories across aging predict cancer risk and systemic inflammation
Aging is a multi-modal process, leaving distinct signatures across molecular layers, including the epigenome. DNA methylation changes are among the most robust markers of biological aging. Yet, most s...
