We may one day have access to drugs that help trigger regeneration in damaged tissues and organs thanks to scientists from the MDI Biological Laboratory and University of Maine.

Scientists Identify New Genetic Regulators of Regeneration

R&D Magazine · August 23, 2018

Scientists at the MDI Biological Laboratory and the University of Maine have discovered that genetic material in the cell that was previously thought to be “junk” because of its apparent lack of function likely plays a part in regulating genetic circuits responsible for regeneration in highly regenerative animals.

Portions of DNA that do not seem to have a function are referred to as “junk”. Now, according to a study published in Regenerative Medicine, researchers at the MDI Biological Laboratory and the University of Maine have discovered that this DNA likely plays a role in genetic circuit regulation of highly regenerative animals.

Scientists have discovered that genetic material in the cell that was previously thought to be “junk” because of its apparent lack of function likely plays a part in regulating genetic circuits responsible for regeneration in highly regenerative animals. The discovery could one day lead to the development of drugs to trigger the dormant pathways for regeneration in humans.

Aging Research Continues to Attract Top Talent, Influx of Young Researchers

LinkedIn · August 18, 2018

David Sinclair, Ph.D., co-founder and chairman of Life Biosciences, a professor at Harvard Medical School and co-director of the Paul F. Glenn Center for the Biology of Aging, recently posted on LinkedIn about his recent visit to the MDI Biological Laboratory. Sinclair was a speaker at a lecture series for the public entitled “Live Longer, Live Better” that was held in conjunction with the institution’s aging course, for which Sinclair’s company, Life Biosciences, was a sponsor. Sinclair’s lect…

Organoids a Window Into Human Development, Disease

Mount Desert Islander · August 18, 2018

Recently the Mount Desert Island Biological Laboratory, in partnership with Hubrecht Organoid Technology (HUB), offered a week-long course for 25 U.S. and international scientists. The course was one of the first to provide extensive hands-on training in organoid culture, said course organizer Hugo de Jonge, a professor at Erasmus University Medical Center (NL) and a long-time visiting investigator at MDIBL.
