26 April 2021 Adult human skin cells have been reprogrammed to form three-dimensional structures similar to early human embryos by a team led by Professor Jose Polo at Monash University, Australia (see BioNews 1088). Called 'iBlastoids', they could potentially enable us to learn how early human embryos develop and implant in the uterus. The studies could also lead to medical treatments for conditions such as infertility, miscarriage, developmental disorders and genetic diseases Continue reading →

In 2009, Time magazine declared cultured meat one of their top 50 inventions of the year for its potential to curb the carbon footprint of industrial farming. This promising idea has since become a booming industry. Ever since Dutch researcher Mark Post debuted the first lab-grown hamburger in 2013 a $325,000 patty with an intense flavor that took two years to dish up nearly 60 companies have sprung up around the globe in pursuit of growing the perfect cut of cultured meat.

If you feel your brain power diminishing as you advance into middle age and beyond, blame your neural stem cells. Ina new study published inCell Stem Cell, a team led by USC Stem Cell scientistMichael Bonaguididemonstrates that neural stem cellsthe stem cells of the nervous systemage rapidly. There is chronological aging, and there is biological aging, and they are not the same thing, said Bonaguidi, an Assistant Professor of Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine, Gerontology and Biomedical Engineering at theKeck School of Medicine of USC.

By shifting mouse elderly hematopoietic stem cells (aged HSCs) to the environment of young mice (bone marrow niche), it was shown that the pattern of stem cell gene expression was rejuvenated to that of young hematopoietic stem cells. On the other hand, the function of elderly HSCs failed to recover in the young bone marrow niche. The epigenome (DNA methylation) of aged HSCs didnt change significantly even in the young bone marrow niche, and DNA methylation profiles were found to be a better index than the gene expression pattern of aged HSCs.

By Victor Kiprop on December 5 2018 in Did You Know A stem cell is a cell in a living body with the potential to develop into different types of cells during the early stage. Most cells in a living organism are differentiated cells, meaning they are found in a specific organ and perform particular functions. Continue reading →
