Common Genetic Disease Linked to Father's Age
June 7, 2013 — Scientists have unlocked the mystery of why new cases of the genetic disease Noonan syndrome are so common; a mutation that causes the disease disproportionately increases a normal father's ... > full story -
Normal Molecular Pathway Affected in Poor-Prognosis Childhood Leukemia Identified
June 6, 2013 — Through genetic engineering of laboratory models, researchers have uncovered a vulnerability in the way cancer cells diverge from normal regenerating cells that may help treat children with ... > full story -
Alzheimer's, Schizophrenia, Autism Now Have New Research Tool: Mature Brain Cells Derived from Skin Cells
June 6, 2013 — Difficult-to-study diseases such as Alzheimer's, schizophrenia, and autism now can be probed more safely and effectively thanks to an innovative new method for obtaining mature brain cells called ... > full story -
Rewinding Development: A Step Forward for Stem Cell Research
June 6, 2013 — Scientists have discovered that they can make embryonic stem cells regress to a stage of development where they are able to make placenta cells as well as the other fetal cells. This significant ... > full story -
New Liver Cell for Cellular Therapy to Aid in Liver Regeneration
June 6, 2013 — Liver transplantation is the mainstay of treatment for patients with end-stage liver disease, the 12th leading cause of death in the United States, but new research suggests that it may one day ... > full story -
Scientists Coax Brain to Regenerate Cells Lost in Huntington's Disease in Mouse Model
June 6, 2013 — Researchers have been able to mobilize the brain's native stem cells to replenish a type of neuron lost in Huntington's disease. The scientists were able to both trigger the production of new neurons ... > full story -
Wolbachia Bacteria Evolved to Infect Stem Cell Niches Through Successive Generations of Their Hosts
June 6, 2013 — A new study provides evidence that Wolbachia target the ovarian stem cell niches of its hosts -- a strategy previously overlooked to explain how Wolbachia thrive in ... > full story -
Scientists Unexpectedly Discover Stress-Resistant Stem Cells in Fat Tissue Removed During Liposuction
June 5, 2013 — Researchers have isolated a new population of primitive, stress-resistant human pluripotent stem cells easily derived from fat tissue that are able to differentiate into virtually every cell type in ... > full story -
New Gene That Is Essential for Nuclear Reprogramming
June 5, 2013 — Researchers are still fascinated by the idea of reprogramming the cells of any tissue, turning them into cells with the capacity to differentiate into cells of a completely different type -- ... > full story -
New Way to Improve Stem Cells' Cartilage Formation
June 4, 2013 — Bioengineers are interested in finding innovative ways to grow new cartilage from a patient's own stem cells, and, thanks to a new study, such a treatment is a step closer to ... > full story
