Turning Human Stem Cells Into Brain Cells Sheds Light on Neural Development
May 2, 2013 — Medical researchers have manipulated human stem cells into producing types of brain cells known to play important roles in neurodevelopmental disorders such as epilepsy, schizophrenia and autism. The ... > full story -
Stem Cell Discovery Could Aid Research Into New Treatments
May 2, 2013 — Scientists have made a fundamental discovery about how the properties of embryonic stem cells are controlled. Researchers have found that a protein, which switches on genes to allow embryonic stem ... > full story -
Genetic Factor Predicts Success of Weight-Loss Surgery
May 2, 2013 — A genome-wide association study reveals that the amount of weight loss after gastric bypass surgery can be predicted in part by a DNA sequence variation found on chromosome 15. The findings explain ... > full storyMore: -
Scientists Revolutionize Creation of Genetically Altered Mice to Model Human Disease
May 2, 2013 — Scientists have efficiently created mouse models with multiple gene mutations in a matter of weeks. Because the method does not require embryonic stem cells, the approach also could allow any animal ... > full story -
Adult Cells Transformed Into Early-Stage Nerve Cells, Bypassing the Pluripotent Stem Cell Stage
May 2, 2013 — Scientists have converted skin cells from people and monkeys into a cell that can form a wide variety of nervous-system cells — without passing through the do-it-all stage called the induced ... > full story -
Gene Mutations Associated With Nearsightedness Identified
May 2, 2013 — Mutations in a gene that helps regulate copper and oxygen levels in eye tissue are associated with a severe form of nearsightedness, according to a new ... > full story -
Investigating Devastating Childhood Diseases Just Got Easier
May 2, 2013 — Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPScs) from the skin of patients with Dravet syndrome (DS) show Dravet-like functional impairment when they are converted into neurons, finds new research. This method ... > full story
