Method Makes It Easier to Separate Useful Stem Cells from 'Problem' Ones for Therapies
April 22, 2013 Pluripotent stem cells can turn (differentiate) into any cell type in the body, such as nerve, muscle or bone, but inevitably some of these stem cells fail to differentiate and end up mixed in with ... > full story -
Genetic Analysis Tool Opens New Gene-Regulation Realms
April 22, 2013 Researchers have developed a novel and powerful technique to identify the targets for a group of enzymes called RNA cytosine methyltransferases (RMTs) in human ... > full story -
New Immune Cells Hint at Eczema Cause
April 22, 2013 Researchers have discovered a new type of immune cell in skin that plays a role in fighting off parasitic invaders such as ticks, mites, and worms, and could be linked to eczema and allergic skin ... > full story -
Metastasis Stem Cells in the Blood of Breast Cancer Patients Discovered
April 22, 2013 Scientists have been the first to detect cancer cells that can initiate metastasis in the blood of breast cancer patients. Patients with large numbers of these cells found in their blood show a ... > full story -
Particular DNA Changes Linked With Prostate Cancer Development and Lethality
April 22, 2013 A new analysis has found that the loss or amplification of particular DNA regions contributes to the development of prostate cancer, and that patients with two of these DNA changes have a high ... > full story -
