Flexible Adult Stem Cells, Right There in Your Eye
January 5, 2012 — In the future, patients in need of perfectly matched neural stem cells may not need to look any further than their own eyes. Researchers have identified adult stem cells of the central nervous system ... > full story -
Cbx Proteins and the Fate of Embryonic Stem Cells
January 5, 2012 — Researchers have published an innovative study on the role of Cbx proteins in the genetic regulation of embryonic stem cells. The study revealed that changes in the expression of specific Polycomb ... > full story -
Shot of Young Stem Cells Makes Rapidly Aging Mice Live Much Longer and Healthier, Researchers Report
January 3, 2012 — Mice bred to age too quickly seemed to have sipped from the fountain of youth after scientists injected them with stem cell-like progenitor cells derived from the muscle of young, healthy animals. ... > full story -
How Work Tells Muscles to Grow
January 3, 2012 — We take it for granted, but the fact that our muscles grow when we work them makes them rather unique. Now, researchers have identified a key ingredient needed for that bulking up to take place. A ... > full story -
Age-Related Degeneration Can Be Caused by Defects of Energy Metabolism in Tissue Stem Cells
January 3, 2012 — New findings increase the understanding of mechanisms of age-related degeneration. The results are a breakthrough in revealing the unexpected importance of energy metabolism in regulating stem cell ... > full story -
Maintaining Balance: Blood Progenitor Cells Receive Signals from Niche Cells and the Daughter Blood Cells They Create
December 22, 2011 — Maintaining balance is crucial. In Drosophila, the common fruit fly, the creation and maintenance of the blood supply requires such balance. Stem cell scientists have now uncovered that two-way ... > full story -
How Do You Mend a Broken Heart? Coaxing the Heart Into Making Replacement Cardiac Muscle Cells
December 22, 2011 — Scientists are closing in on signals that may be able to coax the heart into producing replacement cardiac muscle cells. Using a zebrafish model system, researchers have identified a family of ... > full story -
Possible Cure for Leukemia Found in Fish Oil
December 22, 2011 — A compound produced from fish oil that appears to target leukemia stem cells could lead to a cure for the disease, according to ... > full story -
New Process Could Advance Use of Healthy Cells or Stem Cells to Treat Disease
December 21, 2011 — In a discovery that may help speed use of "cell therapy" -- with normal cells or stem cells infused into the body to treat disease -- scientists are reporting development of a way to deliver ... > full story -
IPS Cells Match Embryonic Stem Cells in Modeling Human Disease
December 19, 2011 — Investigators have shown that iPS cells, viewed as a possible alternative to human embryonic stem cells, can mirror the defining defects of a genetic condition -- in this instance, Marfan syndrome -- ... > full story
