Herpes Infections: Natural Killer Cells Activate Hematopoiesis
May 16, 2013 Infections can trigger hematopoiesis at sites outside the bone marrow – in the liver, the spleen or the skin. Researchers now show that a specific type of immune cell facilitates such ... > full story -
X-Ray Tomography of Living Frog Embryo
May 16, 2013 Classical X-ray radiographs provide information about internal, absorptive structures of organisms such as bones. Alternatively, X-rays can also image soft tissues throughout early embryonic ... > full story -
Developmental Genetics of Space and Time
May 15, 2013 Scientists have conducted a study that reveals important and useful insights into how and why developmental genes often take inputs from two independent “morphogen concentration ... > full story -
Squishy Hydrogels May Be the Ticket for Studying Biological Effects of Nanoparticles
May 15, 2013 A class of water-loving, jelly-like materials with uses ranges ranging from the mundane, such as superabsorbent diaper liners, to the sophisticated, such as soft contact lenses, could be tapped for a ... > full story -
Human Skin Cells Converted Into Embryonic Stem Cells: First Time Human Stem Cells Have Been Produced Via Nuclear Transfer
May 15, 2013 Scientists have successfully reprogrammed human skin cells to become embryonic stem cells capable of transforming into any other cell type in the body. It is believed that stem cell therapies hold ... > full story -
Untangling the Tree of Life
May 15, 2013 Phylogeneticists examined the reasons why large-scale tree-of-life studies are producing contradictory results and have proposed a suite of novel techniques to resolve the ... > full story -
Cells Must Use Their Brakes Moderately for Effective Speed Control
May 15, 2013 How cells regulate their own function by “accelerating and braking” is important basic knowledge when new intelligent medicines are being developed, or when plant cells are tweaked to ... > full story -
Study IDs Key Protein for Cell Death

Newly Described Type of Immune Cell and T Cells Share Similar Path to Maturity
May 14, 2013 Innate lymphoid cells protect boundary tissues such as the skin, lung, and the gut from microbial onslaught. They also have shown they play a role in inflammatory disease. Researchers have found that ... > full story -
Using Clay to Grow Bone: Researchers Use Synthetic Silicate to Stimulate Stem Cells Into Bone Cells
May 14, 2013 Medical researchers report that synthetic silicate nanoplatelets (also known as layered clay) can induce stem cells to become bone cells without the need of additional bone-inducing ... > full story
