Researcher Studying Advances in Next-Generation Stem Cell Culture Technologies Aug. 10, 2015 A researcher is studying ways to advance the next generation of cell culture technologiesthe removal of stem cells from an organism and the controlled growth of those cells in an engineering ... read more Aug. 5, 2015 Scientists have, for the first time, found further evidence of how the differentiation of pluripotent cells is tied to and controlled by the cell cycle clock. This deeper understanding of how cells ... read more From Pluripotency to Totipotency Aug. 4, 2015 While it is already possible to obtain in vitro pluripotent cells (i.e., cells capable of generating all tissues of an embryo) from any cell type, researchers have pushed the limits of science even ... read more Aug. 3, 2015 Investigators report that they have been able to drive cells to grow into muscle fibers, producing millimeter-long muscle fibers capable of contracting in a dish and multiplying in large numbers. ... read more July 30, 2015 Evaluating drug-induced liver injury is a critical part of pharmaceutical drug discovery and must be carried out on human liver cells. Now, scientists report that they produced large amounts of ... read more How a Single Molecule Turns One Immune Cell Into Another July 30, 2015 All it takes is one molecule to reprogram an antibody-producing B cell into a scavenging macrophage. This transformation is possible, new evidence shows, because the molecule (C/EBPa, a transcription ... read more July 29, 2015 A first-of-its kind prostate 'organoid' grown from human embryonic stem cells has enabled researchers to show that exposure to bisphenol A, a chemical in many plastics, can cause ... read more Scientists Identify Gene Vital for Rebuilding Intestine After Cancer Treatment July 29, 2015 A rare type of stem cell is immune to radiation damage thanks to high levels of a gene called Sox9, researchers have ... read more New Drug for Blood Cancers Now in Five Phase II Clinical Trials July 28, 2015 The safety and dosing of a new drug for treating blood cancers has now been established by a group of scientists. The drug is a small molecule inhibitor that suppresses the activity of a signaling ... read more Scientists' Silk Structure Is Secret to Process of Regenerating Salivary Cells July 27, 2015 An American research team is the first to use silk fibers as a framework to grow stem cells into salivary gland cells. The new process could provide relief for millions of individuals with dry mouth, ... read more Prostate Cancer: Scientists Discover Why Some Tumous Are Resistant to Radiotherapy July 24, 2015 Scientists believe they have identified how some tiny regulatory molecules in cells can make prostate cancers resistant to radiotherapy. It is hoped that this new development could pave the way for ... read more Improved Outcomes Associated With Stem Cell Transplantation for Children With Serious Chronic Leukemia July 23, 2015 Researchers have shown greatly improved outcomes in using stem cell transplantation to treat patients with a serious but very rare form of chronic blood cancer called juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia ... read more Access Denied: Leukemia Thwarted by Cutting Off Link to Environmental Support July 23, 2015 A protein's critical -- and previously unknown -- role in the development and progression of acute myeloid leukemia, a fast-growing and extremely difficult-to-treat blood cancer, has been ... read more Opening the Door to the Cause of Myeloid Leukemia: Finding the Targets of Common Mutation July 23, 2015 A breakthrough in understanding how mutated genes in leukemia reprogram blood stem cells and send them spiraling out of control has been made by a team of ... read more Using Low-Dose Irradiation, Researchers Can Now Edit Human Genes July 22, 2015 For the first time, researchers have employed a gene-editing technique involving low-dose irradiation to repair patient cells. This method is 10 times more effective than techniques currently in ... read more Zebrafish Reveal Drugs That May Improve Bone Marrow Transplant July 22, 2015 Using large-scale zebrafish drug-screening models, researchers have identified a potent group of chemicals that helps bone marrow transplants engraft or ... read more Programming Adult Stem Cells to Treat Muscular Dystrophy and More by Mimicking Nature July 22, 2015 Stem cells hold great potential for addressing a variety of conditions from spinal cord injuries to cancer, but they can be difficult to control. Scientists now report a new way to mimic the ... read more July 22, 2015 If you experience a major heart attack the damage could cost you around five billion heart cells. Future stem cell treatments will require this number and more to ensure those cells are replaced and ... read more iPSCs Show Promise for Kidney Treatment July 21, 2015 Renal progenitor cells derived from human iPS cells were shown to have therapeutic effects when transplanted into acute kidney injury model mice. The transplants resulted in a significant reduction ... read more Stem Cell Therapy Shows Promise in Small Clinical Trial for Rare Lung Disease July 20, 2015 Promising results are coming out of the first clinical trial in the world of a genetically-enhanced stem cell therapy for pulmonary arterial hypertension. This rare and deadly disease mainly affects ... read more
