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 -
Test to Improve Stem Cell Safety
June 4, 2013 Scientists have developed a test to identify unsafe stem cells. It is the first safety test specifically for human induced pluripotent stem ... > full story -
Innate Immunity: When DNA Is out of Place
June 4, 2013 In animal cells, DNA molecules are normally restricted to the cell nucleus and the mitochondria. When DNA appears outside these organelles – in the so-called cytosol - it most probably ... > full story -
Drug Resistance May Make Malaria Parasites Vulnerable to Other Substances
June 4, 2013 Malaria parasites that develop resistance to the most effective class of anti-malarial drugs may become susceptible to other treatments as a result. The discovery could reveal potential new drug ... > full story -
The Fight Against Genome Parasites
June 4, 2013 In the gonads of animals, genome parasites such as transposons pose a serious threat to evolutionary fitness. With their ability to bounce around in the genome, they often cause dangerous mutations. ... > full story -
Enhancer RNAs Alter Gene Expression: New Class of Molecules May Be Key Emerging 'Enhancer Therapy'
June 4, 2013 In a pair of distinct but complementary papers, researchers illuminate the functional importance of a relatively new class of RNA molecules. The work suggests modulation of “enhancer-directed ... > full story -
New Kind of Antibiotic May Be More Effective at Fighting Tuberculosis, Anthrax, and Other Diseases
June 3, 2013 Diseases such as tuberculosis, anthrax, and shigellosis -- a severe food-borne illness -- eventually could be treated with an entirely new and more-effective kind of antibiotic, say scientists who ... > full story -
New Strategy for Defeating Neuroblastoma
June 3, 2013 Researchers have found a promising strategy for defeating neuroblastoma -- a malignant form of cancer in children -- that focuses on the so-called MYCN protein. A specific chemical molecule helps to ... > full story
