Episodes

Human Liver Organoids- From Stem Cells to Therapies 10.11.2025

From stem cells to therapies, this episode dives into the world of human liver organoids—how iPSCs are guided into functional “mini-livers,” the bioengineering tricks that mature them, and the breakthroughs they enable in disease modeling, drug screening, and precision hepatology. In this short episode, we unpack what’s real, what’s next, and how organoids are accelerating the path to regenerative...

PiggyBac Transposons-A Switchable, High-Capacity Gene Delivery System in Living Cells 01.11.2025

How PiggyBac moves DNA in—and out—without scars. We cover transposase mechanics (TTAA-site integration and footprint-free excision), large cargo delivery (tens to ~100 kb), and why it’s popular for iPSCs, stable cell lines, and cell therapies.

Vascularization, Immune Cells, Organoids and Organ-On-Chip | GeneInCell | 2025 27.10.2025

A quick tour of next-gen models that add functional vascularization and immune cells to boost physiological relevance. And strategies (self-assembly, pre-patterning) to build perfusable microvascular networks for real maturation. Educational only; not medical advice.

Eyes In a Dish | Modeling Retinal Development with Pluripotent Stem Cells 19.10.2025

How lab-grown mini-retinas model human vision. In this episode, we show how iPSC-derived retinal organoids form layered photoreceptors, enable gene-editing tests (CRISPR, ASOs), and accelerate drug screening for inherited retinal diseases. Clear takeaways, visuals, and translational notes for bench and clinic. Educational only; not medical advice.

Nobel Winning Breakthrough: Unpacking Peripheral Immune Tolerance | GeneInCell 12.10.2025

How FOXP3-defined Tregs prevent autoimmunity and shape therapy. We trace the discoveries by Mary E. Brunkow, Fred Ramsdell, and Shimon Sakaguchi , unpack Treg biology and assays, and explore translational angles—from autoimmune disease and transplantation to cancer immunotherapy and engineered Tregs. Educational content only; not medical advice.

🧬 CRISPR dCas9 Activation Systems for Gene Regulation | GeneInCell | 2025 05.10.2025

How do you turn genes on with CRISPR—without making a single cut? This episode breaks down dCas9-based activators (VP64, p300, SAM, VPR, SunTag), guide design near promoters/enhancers. We compare strengths, limits, and off-target risks. Clear takeaways on assays (qPCR, RNA-seq, ATAC-seq, reporter readouts), durability, and safety considerations for translational work. Educational only; not medical...

Gene Knockout: From Lab to Therapy | GeneInCell | 2025 29.09.2025

In this episode, we explore how turning off defective genes is becoming a crucial aspect of modern medicine. Educational only; not medical advice.

Antisense Oligonucleotides: From Sequence to Therapy 21.09.2025

Dive into the fascinating world of antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) with this insightful podcast series. Explore the journey from genetic sequencing to groundbreaking therapeutic applications, uncovering how these innovative molecules are transforming the treatment of genetic disorders and beyond. Hosted by experts from GeneInCell, this series blends cutting-edge science with real-world impact, o...

AI's Impact on Biology and Drug Discovery | GeneInCell | 2025 14.09.2025

How modern AI is rewiring the life-science stack—from target discovery to first-in-human. This episode unpacks foundation models for proteins/RNAs, generative chemistry, AI-guided ADMET/PK, phenotypic screening on organoids with high-content imaging, multi-omics integration, and self-driving labs with active learning. We compare what’s hype vs. real, walk through validation loops (prospective wet-...

Spaceflight vs. Your Body- Why Vision Suffers 07.09.2025

This episode spotlights Spaceflight-Associated Neuro-Ocular Syndrome (SANS)—a major risk where microgravity-driven fluid shifts raise eye/brain pressure, leading to optic nerve swelling and vision changes. Beyond SANS, we examine the full spectrum of space eye hazards: corneal abrasions from lunar/planetary dust, chemical burns, infections, and radiation effects. Educational content only; not medi...

The American Biotech Landscape: Investment, Innovation, and Hubs 06.09.2025

We map the transition of science into companies in the USA. Hear how funding cycles, NIH/SBIR grants, talent pipelines, universities, CDMOs, and clinical-trial access shape each hub. Educational only; not investment advice.

Microgravity and Human Health: Risks, Benefits, and Spaceflight Hazards 31.08.2025

What does space do to the body—and how can it advance medicine? We break down microgravity’s risks (fluid shifts/SANS, bone loss, muscle atrophy, cardiovascular deconditioning, immune dysregulation, radiation exposure) , then explore benefits for biotech: protein crystallization, stem-cell growth, organoids/tissue engineering, and drug discovery. Clear takeaways for space medicine and Earth health...

mRNA Vaccine Research and Therapeutic Applications 23.08.2025

Sources trace mRNA tech from basics to bedside: nucleoside-modified mRNA tames innate sensing and boosts translation; engineering across cap/UTRs/poly(A) plus purification optimizes stability and reduces immune noise. Lipid nanoparticles—especially ionizable lipids—are the enabling delivery system. Beyond infectious-disease vaccines, the field is moving toward on-demand/mobile manufacturing and im...

Personalized CRISPR Gene Therapy: A Medical Breakthrough | 2025 16.08.2025

This podcast discusses how CRISPR gene-editing technology is revolutionizing healthcare by making personalized gene therapy a reality. From treating genetic disorders to unlocking precision medicine, CRISPR could transform the way we fight disease.

CRISPR-GPT: AI Automation for Gene-Editing Experiments 16.08.2025

Performing successful CRISPR-Cas9 experiments isn’t just about cutting DNA—it requires precision, programming, and a deep understanding of both the technology and the biology behind it. That’s where CRISPR-GPT comes in: a DNA programming assistant built in Python for automating and optimizing gene-editing experiments. Think of it as your agentic co-pilot in the lab—helping design, analyze, and str...

CAR T-Cell Therapy: Unleashing Your Body's Army Against Cancer and Beyond 16.08.2025

How reprogrammed T cells become living medicines. In clear, science-first episodes, we trace collection → engineering → infusion, highlight successes in B-cell cancers (CD19, BCMA), unpack risks (CRS, ICANS), and preview what’s next—off-the-shelf/allogeneic CARs, safety switches, and solid-tumor strategies.
