Researchers Develop Method of Directing Stem Cells to Increase Bone Formation and Bone Strength
February 6, 2012 Scientists have developed a novel technique to enhance bone growth by using a molecule which, when injected into the bloodstream, directs the body's stem cells to travel to the surface of ... > full story -
Chaos in the Cell's Command Center
February 1, 2012 Researchers have determined the critical role one enzyme, lysine-specific demethylase 1 (LSD1), plays as mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs) differentiate. This research may provide targets for ... > full story -
Stem Cells Could Drive Hepatitis Research Forward
February 1, 2012 Researchers have produced liver-like cells from induced pluripotent stem cells. By creating liver-like cells, scientists can study why people respond differently to Hepatitis ... > full story -
Encouraging Results With Stem Cell Transplant for Brain Injury
February 1, 2012 Experiments in brain-injured rats show that stem cells injected via the carotid artery travel directly to the brain, where they greatly enhance functional ... > full story -
Skin Cells Turned Into Neural Precusors, Bypassing Stem-Cell Stage
January 30, 2012 Mouse skin cells can be converted directly into cells that become the three main parts of the nervous system, according to researchers. The finding is an extension of a previous study by the same ... > full story -
Need Muscle for a Tough Spot? Turn to Fat Stem Cells
January 30, 2012 Stem cells derived from fat have a surprising trick up their sleeves: Encouraged to develop on a stiff surface, they undergo a remarkable transformation toward becoming mature muscle cells. The new ... > full story -
Collaborative Research Sheds Light on New Cancer Stem Cell Therapies
January 27, 2012 New anti-cancer research has led to the development of a novel class of chemical inhibitors that specifically target cancer cells with ... > full story -
Environment That Nurtures Blood-Forming Stem Cells' Growth Identified
January 25, 2012 Scientists have identified the environment in which blood-forming stem cells survive and thrive within the body, an important step toward increasing the safety and effectiveness of bone-marrow ... > full story -
Avastin, Sutent Increase Breast Cancer Stem Cells, Study Suggests
January 25, 2012 Cancer treatments designed to block the growth of blood vessels were found to increase the number of cancer stem cells in breast tumors in mice, suggesting a possible explanation for why these drugs ... > full story -
In Schizophrenia Research, a Path to the Brain Through the Nose
January 25, 2012 A significant obstacle to progress in understanding psychiatric disorders is the difficulty in obtaining living brain tissue for study so that disease processes can be studied directly. Recent ... > full story
