Tiny Worm Sheds Light on Giant Mystery About Neuron
April 30, 2013 — Scientists studying neurons in Caenorhabditis elegans have found a gene, unc-16, that serves as a gatekeeper, restricting the flow of specific membrane-enclosed organelles from the cell body to the ... > full story -
Identification of Stem Cells’ Two Separate Roles Raises Possibility of Therapies That Could Inhibit Fat Formation, Promote Muscle Repair
April 30, 2013 — Many diseases – obesity, Type 2 diabetes, muscular dystrophy – are associated with fat accumulation in muscle. In essence, fat replacement causes the muscles to weaken and degenerate. ... > full story -
Protein Improves Efficacy of Tumor-Killing Enzyme
April 30, 2013 — Scientists have devised a method for delivering tumor cell-killing enzymes in a way that protects the enzyme until it can do its work inside the cell. In their study researchers assembled microscopic ... > full story -

Microglia Can Be Derived from Patient-Specific Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells and May Help Modulate the Course of Central Nervous System Diseases
April 29, 2013 — Overall importance of microglia in various brain and spinal cord diseases surprises researchers, who find patient-specific stem cells can be turned into microglia, which could be very useful in ... > full story -
Connection Between Inflammatory Stimulus and Parkinson's Disease Examined
April 29, 2013 — The precise cause(s) of Parkinson’s Disease is unknown, but there is consensus that an inflammatory event or episode is involved in the initiation of neurodegeneration. A new study has brought ... > full story -
Rare, Lethal Childhood Disease Tracked to Protein
April 29, 2013 — Scientists have identified how a defective protein plays a central role in a rare, lethal childhood disease known as giant axonal neuropathy, or GAN. GAN is an extremely rare and untreatable genetic ... > full story -
Adults Lack Stem Cells for Making New Eggs
April 29, 2013 — Mammalian females ovulate periodically over their reproductive lifetimes, placing significant demands on their ovaries for egg production. Whether mammals generate new eggs in adulthood using stem ... > full story -
Patterned Hearts: Bioengineers Create Rubber-Like Material Bearing Micropatterns for Stronger, More Elastic Hearts
April 29, 2013 — Bioengineers report creating artificial heart tissue that closely mimics the functions of natural heart tissue through the use of human-based materials. Their work will advance how clinicians treat ... > full story -
Growing New Arteries, Bypassing Blocked Ones
April 29, 2013 — Medical researchers have uncovered the molecular pathway by which new arteries may form after heart attacks, strokes and other acute illnesses bypassing arteries that are ... > full story -
Promising Results from First U.S. Clinical Trial for Stem Cell-Based Treatment of ALS
April 29, 2013 — Researchers who completed the first American clinical trial involving stem cell-based treatment of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) were encouraged by the trial study's results, noting that this ... > full story
