Gene-edited stem cells linked to multi-organ gains in FRDA mice

A single infusion of edited blood-forming stem cells was associated with donor-cell engraftment and better movement, cerebellar, heart and pancreatic measures in humanized Friedreich’s ataxia mice. The findings were incomplete and remain preclinical, with some abnormalities persisting and the proposed editing threshold not prospectively validated.

Preprint: A mechanical model connects tissue growth that stops, continues or stays in proportion

A new arXiv preprint proposes one continuum-mechanics framework for bounded, unbounded and proportionate tissue growth. Its central results are theoretical: the model predicts a stress threshold, long-term proportions set by material parameters and a turnover-dependent growth rate, but it does not test those predictions against biological measurements.
