Best wishes to Matt Wolf on his next adventure!
Matt joined the Elisseeff lab in 2014, bringing expertise in extracellular matrix (ECM) biomaterials for tissue engineering. He discovered that the same pro-regenerative environment generated by ECM biomaterials to encourage tissue healing also enabled the immune system to kill cancer cells. Cancer killing by immune…

Making Metabolically Active Brown Fat from White Fat-Derived Stem Cells
New Rochelle, NY, March 3, 2017—Researchers have demonstrated the potential to engineer brown adipose tissue, which has therapeutic promise to treat metabolic diseases such as obesity and type 2 diabetes, from white adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs). The study describes a method to produce brown fat…
