Cord blood cells obtained at the time of delivery of a baby are a valuable resource that have the potential to develop into many cell types. This Project entails attaching stem cells derived from cord blood to appropriate 3 dimensional smart surfaces, and examining the ability of such cells to develop into insulin-producing cells. An understanding of how to coax stem cells, seeded on to smart surfaces, to develop into mature cells with different functions will enhance our ability to understand how cells develop. As well, it enhance the potential usefulness of cord blood for research purposes.

脐带血细胞在分娩时获得的婴儿是一种宝贵的资源，有潜力发展成许多细胞类型。 该项目需要将来自脐带血的干细胞附着到适当的三维智能表面上，并检查这些细胞发育成胰岛素产生细胞的能力。 了解如何诱导干细胞，接种到智能表面上，发育成具有不同功能的成熟细胞，将增强我们了解细胞如何发育的能力。 此外，它还增强了脐带血用于研究目的的潜在用途。
