Scientists Build a Living Patch for Damaged Hearts
May 6, 2013 — Biomedical engineers have grown three-dimensional human heart muscle that acts just like natural tissue. This advancement could be important in treating heart attack patients or in serving as a ... > full story -
Discovery May Help Prevent Chemotherapy-Induced Anemia
May 5, 2013 — Researchers have discovered that chemo induces a type of nerve damage inside bone marrow that can cause delays in recovery after bone marrow transplantation. The findings suggest that combining ... > full story -
Divide and Define: Clues to Understanding How Stem Cells Produce Different Kinds of Cells
May 5, 2013 — The human body contains trillions of cells, all derived from a single cell, or zygote, made by the fusion of an egg and a sperm. That single cell contains all the genetic information needed to ... > full story -
Human Brain Cells Developed in Lab, Grow in Mice
May 3, 2013 — A key type of human brain cell developed in the laboratory grows seamlessly when transplanted into the brains of mice, researchers have discovered, raising hope that these cells might one day be used ... > full story -
