Contact Information Available for logged-in reporters only Newswise One remarkable quality of pluripotent stem cells is they are immortal in the lab, able to divide and grow indefinitely under the right conditions. It turns out this ability also may exist further down the development path, with the workhorse progenitor cells responsible for creating specific tissues. A team from the Morgridge Institute for Research regenerative biology group, led by University of Wisconsin-Madison professor and stem cell pioneer James Thomson, discovered a way to impose an immortal-like state on mouse progenitor cells responsible for producing blood and vascular tissue. By regulating a small number of genes, the cells became trapped in a self-renewing state and capable of producing functional endothelial, blood and smooth muscle cells. The finding, to be published in the December 9, 2014 issue of Stem Cell Reports, points to a potential new approach to developing cells in the lab environment for use in drug screening, therapies and as a basic research tool. The biggest takeaway for me is the ability to arrest development of these cells, says David Vereide, a Morgridge fellow in regenerative biology and lead author on the paper. Normally, these cells are ephemeral and get used … Continue reading →

PUBLIC RELEASE DATE: 11-Nov-2014 Contact: Joel Winston Joel.Winston@biomedcentral.com 44-020-319-22081 BioMed Central @biomedcentral Many published microbiome studies are likely to have been contaminated and may incorrectly report the presence of microorganisms unintentionally introduced from the laboratory environment, says a study published in the open access journal BMC Biology. The findings could explain why unexpected bacteria have been previously identified in clinical samples and suggests that studies may have prematurely proposed links to disease. The ecosystem of more than 100 trillion microorganisms that live in our bodies - the human microbiome - is essential for a range of vital functions, including the digestion of food, synthesizing nutrients, and preventing disease. Even in areas of the body which normally contain relatively small numbers of microorganisms, such as the lungs, changes in microbial communities are thought to play a role in the development of disorders, including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and asthma. New DNA sequencing technologies have been contributing to the rapid expansion of microbiome research. However, a new study led by the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute systematically shows that contaminating bacteria are easily introduced from DNA extraction kits, chemical reagents and the laboratory environment, and can affect the results of microbiome analyses. The … Continue reading →
