Early heart attack therapy with bone marrow extract improves cardiac function
A UCSF study for the treatment of heart failure after heart attack found that the extract derived from bone marrow cells is as effective as therapy using bone marrow stem cells for improving cardiac function, decreasing the formation of scar tissue and improving cardiac pumping capacity after heart attack. view more (2009-06-30)
Watery grave for 7,700 year old who wouldn't eat her greens
University of Sheffield archaeologists have uncovered a 7,700-year-old human thighbone, which has provided new evidence about the diet of ancient people.

Gene silencing directs muscle-derived stem cells to become bone-forming cells
Using a relatively new technology called RNA interference to turn off genes that regulate cell differentiation, University of Pittsburgh researchers have demonstrated they can increase the propensity of muscle-derived stem cells (MDSCs) to become bone-forming cells. view more (2006-06-02)
