USC researchers track down the stem cells that create feathers
The stem cells that produce bird feathers have been visualized and analyzed for the first time, signifying the initial step in a scientific journey that may ultimately shed light on human organ regeneration. view more (2005-12-15)
Key gene controlling kidney development found
A gene called Six2 plays a critical role in the development of the kidney by keeping a population of "parent" stem cells constantly available to produce the differentiated cells that give rise to specialized parts of the organ. view more (2006-10-11)
Hidden heart condition increases the risk of death in patients waiting for kidney transplants
An often asymptomatic condition-systolic dysfunction, or decreased pumping of the heart-poses an increased risk of death for patients on kidney transplant waiting lists, according to a study appearing in the June 2008 issue of the Journal of the American Society Nephrology (JASN). view more (2008-05-16)
Hopkins scientists find cells responsible for bladder cancer's spread
Johns Hopkins scientists have tracked down a powerful set of cells in bladder tumors that seem to be primarily responsible for the cancer's growth and spread using a technique that takes advantage of similarities between tumor and organ growth. view more (2009-08-07)

Quick technique to identify adenoviruses can improve patient care
Grantees of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), part of the National Institutes of Health, have adapted a rapid and accurate new molecular typing strategy and used it to conduct one of the most comprehensive studies of adenoviruses ever performed in the United States. view more (2007-10-12)
Jefferson, Ohio State team find gene signature profile for metastasis
A common signature of tiny, specific pieces of non-coding genetic material known as microRNAs (miRNAs) may be directly involved in the spread of cancer to other parts of the body. view more (2008-06-02)
Test predicts risk of liver scarring after transplant, study shows
An estimated 20 percent of people with chronic hepatitis C who receive a liver transplant will develop advanced cirrhosis, scarring of the new organ severe enough to impair its ability to function normally within five years of transplantation. view more (2005-10-06)

More Hand Transplants To Be Performed, Predict Experts At International Congress Of The Transplantation Society
Although since the world’s first hand transplant in 1998 there have been just 11 additional cases, results presented today at the XIX International Congress of The Transplantation Society indicate the procedure is likely to be performed more often. At the congress being held through Aug. 30 at the Westin Diplomat Resort and Spa in... view more... (2002-08-20)

Older kidney transplant patients should more often consider live donors
Almost half of kidney transplant candidates older than 60 who are put on the waiting list for a deceased-donor organ will die before getting a transplant. view more (2009-06-25)
Does a person's insurance coverage affect their access to quality cancer care?
Does a person's insurance coverage affect their access to quality cancer care? According to researchers at Fox Chase Cancer Center, insurance coverage may not only affect a patient's access to health care, but also the quality of care they receive. view more (2009-04-27)
Study finds how organs monitor themselves during early development
How are you? In biological terms this question could involve a feedback loop that lets the body check in on itself and then act on that information view more (2006-08-28)
