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 -
Scientists Discover How HIV Kills Immune Cells; Findings Have Implications for HIV Treatment
June 5, 2013 Untreated HIV infection destroys a person's immune system by killing infection-fighting cells, but precisely when and how HIV wreaks this destruction has been a mystery until now. New research ... > full story -
Targeting an Aspect of Down Syndrome
June 5, 2013 Researchers have determined how a gene that is known to be defective in Down syndrome is regulated and how its dysregulation may lead to neurological defects, providing insights into potential ... > full story -
Scientists Map the Wiring of the Biological Clock
June 5, 2013 Biologists have discovered a crucial part of the biological clock: the wiring that sets its accuracy to within a few minutes out of the 1440 minutes per day. This wiring uses the neurotransmitter, ... > 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 -
Neuronal Regeneration and the Two-Part Design of Nerves
June 5, 2013 Researchers have evidence that a single gene controls both halves of nerve cells, and their research demonstrates the need to consider that design in the development of new treatments for ... > full story -
Genetic Editing Shows Promise in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy
June 4, 2013 Using a novel genetic "editing" technique, biomedical engineers have been able to repair a defect responsible for one of the most common inherited disorders, Duchenne muscular dystrophy, in cell ... > 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 -
Biomarker Could Help Scientists Choose the Right Cell Line When Conducting Stem Cell Experiments
June 4, 2013 Stem cells that strongly express a gene called WNT3 are biased to develop into cells and tissues including pancreas, liver and bladder. This discovery suggests that other genes may serve as ... > full story -
Scientists Find Potential New Clues for Identifying Breast Cancer Risk
June 4, 2013 New research provides critical insights into how normal breast precursor cells may be genetically vulnerable to develop into cancer. Scientists discovered that a particular class of normal breast ... > full story
