Enzyme Accelerates Malignant Stem Cell Cloning in Chronic Myeloid Leukemia
December 26, 2012 — An international team has identified a key enzyme in the reprogramming process that promotes malignant stem cell cloning and the growth of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), a cancer of the blood and ... > full story -
Fat Influences Decisions Taken by Brain Cells for Production and Survival
December 23, 2012 — Scientists have identified two molecules that play an important role in the survival and production of nerve cells in the brain, including nerve cells that produce dopamine. The discovery may be ... > full story -
Protein Kinase Akt Identified as Arbiter of Cancer Stem Cell Fate
December 20, 2012 — The protein kinase Akt is a key regulator of cell growth, proliferation, metabolism, survival, and death. New research shows that Akt may be the key as to why cancer stem cells are so hard for the ... > full story -
Steering Stem Cells to Become Two Different Building Blocks for New Blood Vessels
December 20, 2012 — Growing new blood vessels in the lab is a tough challenge, but an engineering team has solved a major stumbling block: how to prod stem cells to become two different types of tissue that are needed ... > full story -
Two Novel Treatments for Retinitis Pigmentosa Move Closer to Clinical Trials
December 20, 2012 — Two recent experimental treatments — one involving skin-derived induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cell grafts, the other gene therapy — have been shown to produce long-term improvement in ... > full story -
Transplanted Neural Stem Cells Treat Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis in Mouse Model
December 19, 2012 — Transplanting neural stem cells into an ALS mouse model slows disease progression and prolongs survival. The transplanted neural stem cells changed the host environment for the better and protected ... > full story -
Preventing Inherited Disorders in Humans: New Technology Allows Transfer of Cell Nuclei Between Human Egg Cells
December 19, 2012 — Scientists have developed a technique that may prevent the inheritance of mitochondrial diseases in ... > full story -
New Cell-Based System Can Screen Drug Candidates for Cardiac Toxicity Long Before They Leave Lab
December 17, 2012 — A new stem cell-derived system for screening experimental drugs for cardiotoxicity could identify dangerous side effects early in the development process, thereby potentially saving time, lives and ... > full story -
Ordinary Heart Cells Become 'Biological Pacemakers' With Injection of Single Gene
December 16, 2012 — Researchers have reprogrammed ordinary heart cells to become exact replicas of highly specialized pacemaker cells by injecting a single gene -- a major step forward in the decade-long search for a ... > full story -
Cancer Stem Cells Isolated from Kidney Tumors
December 13, 2012 — Scientists have isolated cancer stem cells that lead to the growth of Wilms' tumours, a type of cancer typically found in the kidneys of young children. The researchers have used these cancer stem ... > full story
