Protein Central to Cancer Stem Cell Formation Provides New Potential Target
February 13, 2013 — Researchers have identified a pivotal protein in a cellular transformation that makes a cancer cell more resistant to treatment and more capable of growing and spreading, making it an inviting new ... > full story -
Pathway That Stimulates Bone Growth Uncovered
February 13, 2013 — Researchers have discovered that a protein called Jagged-1 stimulates human stem cells to differentiate into bone-producing cells. This protein could help both human and animal patients heal from ... > full story -
Stem Cell Breakthrough Could Lead to New Bone Repair Therapies on Nanoscale Surfaces
February 11, 2013 — Scientists have created a new method to generate bone cells which could lead to revolutionary bone repair therapies for people with bone fractures or those who need hip replacement surgery due to ... > full story -
Implants Make Light Work of Fixing Broken Bones
February 8, 2013 — Artificial bone, created using stem cells and a new lightweight plastic, could soon be used to heal shattered limbs. The use of bone stem cells combined with a degradable rigid material that inserts ... > full story -
Protein Paves the Way for Correct Stem Cell Differentiation
February 7, 2013 — A single embryonic stem cell can develop into more than 200 specialized cell types that make up our body. This maturation process is called differentiation and is tightly regulated. New research has ... > full story -
Key Protein Revealed as Trigger for Stem Cell Development
February 7, 2013 — A natural trigger that enables stem cells to become any cell type in the body has been discovered by scientists. Researchers have identified a protein that kick-starts the process by which stem cells ... > full story -
Cells Forged from Human Skin Show Promise in Treating Multiple Sclerosis, Myelin Disorders
February 7, 2013 — Human brain cells created by reprogramming skin cells are highly effective in treating myelin disorders, a family of diseases that includes multiple sclerosis and rare childhood disorders called ... > full story -
Key to Antidepressant Response Uncovered
February 7, 2013 — Through a series of investigations in mice and humans, researchers have identified a protein that appears to be the target of both antidepressant drugs and electroconvulsive therapy. Results of their ... > full story -
New Light Shed on Reprogramming Mature Cells to Pluripotency, to Divide and Differentiate Into Specialized Cell Types
February 6, 2013 — Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPS cells) represent a milestone in stem cell research, however many of the biochemical processes that underlie reprogramming are still not understood. Scientists now ... > full story
