Lights, Carbon Nitride, Bone Regeneration!
Growing stem cells on carbon nitride sheets not only activates bone-related genes, but also releases calcium ions when exposed to red light.
Lab-Grown Pancreas Reverse Diabetes In Mice
The success of a rat-to-mouse pancreas transplant suggests that such interspecies transplants could help meet the need for donor organs.
Stem Cell Transplant Restores Vision In Mice
Retinal transplants grown from induced pluripotent stem cells can restore vision in mice, study shows.
Scientists Create Blood Cells From Skin Cells Of Mice
The artificial, skin-derived blood cells could last for multiple months in mice.
This Molecule Marks Cells Destined To Develop Into Heart
Researchers have identified a molecule that is expressed in early heart production, allowing them to isolate and study pure populations of human heart progenitor cells.
Can We Devise A Clock To Predict Cancer Risk?
Using a mitotic 'clock,' researchers have shown that DNA changes in normal cells could be used to predict the risk of cancer.
No Monkey Business: Successful Eye Stem Cell Transplant In Monkeys
Under certain conditions, transplanted stem cells from one monkey to another survived without rejection for at least six months.
Wnt Pathway Inhibitor Fights Colorectal Cancer Stem Cells
Researchers have developed a small molecule inhibitor that blocks a signaling pathway essential to cancer stem cell development.
Primate Stem Cells Show Superior Pluripotency To Mouse Stem Cells: Study
The study identified a gene set useful for predicting the properties of human and monkey pluripotent stem cells.
