Stem Cell Scientists Lay TRAP for Kidney Disease


Scientists from Dr. Andrew McMahon’s stem cell lab at USC have uncovered the cellular responses that occur within damaged kidneys by using a unique “TRAP” mouse model. Their research builds upon TRAP (translating ribosome affinity purification), a method used to tag ribosomes, molecular structures that contain RNA and are responsible for protein synthesis. The scientists … Continue reading Stem Cell Scientists Lay TRAP for Kidney Disease
