Discovery in Neuroscience Could Help Re-Wire Appetite Control
April 5, 2013 Researchers have made a discovery in neuroscience that could offer a long-lasting solution to eating disorders such as obesity. It was previously thought that the nerve cells in the brain associated ... > full story -
Building Better Blood Vessels Could Advance Tissue Engineering
April 4, 2013 One of the major obstacles to growing new organs -- replacement hearts, lungs and kidneys -- is the difficulty researchers face in building blood vessels that keep the tissues alive, but new findings ... > full story -
Adult Stem Cells Isolated from Human Intestinal Tissue
April 4, 2013 For the first time, researchers have isolated adult stem cells from human intestinal tissue. The accomplishment provides a much-needed resource for scientists eager to uncover the true mechanisms of ... > full story -
Stem Cells Fill Gaps in Bones
April 4, 2013 For many patients the removal of several centimeters of bone from the lower leg following a serious injury or a tumor extraction is only the beginning of a long-lasting ordeal. Autologous stem cells ... > full story -
New Protocol to Ready Clinical Applications of Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells
April 3, 2013 Scientists have developed a new way to generate induced pluripotent stem cell lines from human fibroblasts, acquired from both healthy and diseased donors. This cell-sorting method consistently ... > full story -
3-D Stem Cell Culture Technique Developed to Better Understand Alzheimer's Disease
April 2, 2013 A team of researchers has developed a technique to produce three-dimensional cultures of induced pluripotent stem cells called embryoid bodies, amenable to live cell imaging and to electrical ... > full story -
Cells Culled from Adults May Grow Human Bone
April 2, 2013 Preparations are underway for the first known human trial to use embryonic-like stem cells collected from adult cells to grow ... > full story -
Researchers First to Use Common Virus to 'Fortify' Adult Stem Cells
April 1, 2013 Using the same strategy that a common virus employs to evade the human immune system, researchers have modified adult stem cells to increase their survival -- with the goal of giving the cells time ... > full story -
Stem Cell Fate Depends on 'Grip'
March 28, 2013 Scientists have generated new insight on how a stem cell's environment influences what type of cell a stem cell will become. They have shown that whether human mesenchymal stem cells turn into fat or ... > full story -
Scientists Discover Driving Force Behind Prostate Cancer
March 27, 2013 Scientists have discovered the driving force behind the development of prostate cancer. Their research reveals the existence of a cancer inducing DNA re-alignment in stem cells taken from human ... > full story
