AbstractStem cells have the ability to develop into different types of cells. These cells are necessary to build and maintain normal tissues. However, damaged tissues often do not heal themselves. This Faculty Early Career Development Program (CAREER) project will pioneer new approaches to understand how stem cells can be precisely guided to regenerate tissues by building instructive niches (microenvironments) around them, one cell at a time. The approach developed can potentially be integrated with oth
