Exploring the Differentiation Potential of Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) for Tissue Regeneration

• Isolated and cultured MSCs from adipose tissue and induced their differentiation into osteocytes (bone), adipocytes (fat), and chondrocytes (cartilage).
• I applied molecular biology techniques such as RT-PCR, flow cytometry, and immunocytochemistry to assess gene expression and protein markers.
• We utilized staining methods (Alizarin Red, Oil Red O, Alcian Blue) to evaluate successful differentiation and tissue formation.

Analysis of Genetic Markers from Cheek Swabs for Personalized Medicine

• Collected cheek swab samples from participants and extracted genomic DNA using a standard extraction protocol.
• Selected and analyzed genetic markers related to drug metabolism and disease susceptibility through PCR and genotyping techniques.
• Conducted data analysis to identify correlations between genetic markers and participant characteristics, discussing implications for personalized medicine.
• Compiled findings into a comprehensive report and presented results to peers, emphasizing the importance of genetics in tailoring medical treatments.
