Durable critters providing insight for human egg preservation
A tiny, six-legged critter that suspends all biological activity when the going gets tough may hold answers to a better way to cryopreserve human eggs, researchers say. view more (2006-12-19)
Lineage trees for cells
Some fundamental outstanding questions in science - "Where do stem cells originate?" "How does cancer develop?" "When do cell types split off from each other in the embryo?" - might be answered if scientists had a way to map the history of the body's cells going back to the fertilized egg. view more (2005-10-31)
Chemistry & Industry - 1 July Issue
NEWS Diseases linked to UV exposure (page 4) The potentially devastating effects of a depleted ozone layer are highlighted by two recent reports detailing the link between ultraviolet exposure and disease in both humans and animals. One shows that the incidence of melanoma can be influenced by geographic location. Fallopian tube journey mimicked... view more... (2002-06-26)
The European Science Foundation publishes policy briefing for human stem cell research
The policy paper recommends the permission of studies of stem cells from embryos and adults, reproductive cloning should not be permitted, but therapeutic cloning should be allowed. There are many chronic, serious and disabling human diseases such as, Parkinson's Disease, Cystic Fibrosis and Huntington's Chorea, for which there are no current... view more... (2001-06-25)
Technique may allow cancer patients to freeze eggs, preserving fertility before starting treatment
A new technique might allow women diagnosed with cancer the opportunity to have children when chemotherapy and radiation treatments rob them of their fertility, researchers at the University of Michigan Comprehensive Cancer Center have found. view more (2005-05-29)

Models show one nearby star system could host Earth-like planet
The steady discovery of giant planets orbiting stars other than our sun has heightened speculation that there could be Earth-type worlds in nearby planetary systems capable of sustaining life. view more (2006-07-25)
Earth's Core is a Recycling Product
The planets of the solar system, including the Earth, formed about four and a half billion years ago from a swirling disk of gas and dust that was left over from the newly formed Sun. However, we do not understand, why the Earth ended up being different from other Earth-like or «terrestrial» planets and how the earliest features, like the metallic... view more... (2004-02-04)
Certain anticancer agents could be harmful to patients with heart disease
A set of promising new anticancer agents could have unforeseen risks in individuals with heart disease, suggests research at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. view more (2008-06-24)
Research Europe 1 August issue: embryo delays, Commission intelligence, Framework's impact, aerospace R&D and Finnish plans.
Ministers put off embryo decision A final decision on Framework 6's approach to research involving human embryos and embryonic stem cells is likely to be delayed until the end of 2003. However, under a compromise expected to be agreed by EU member states in coming weeks, work on existing stocks of stem cells will be funded up to that date. view more (2002-08-01)
Parental Smoking Around Time Of Conception Linked To Reduction In Male Births (p 1407)
Couples who smoke around the time of conception could have a reduced chance of conceiving male offspring, suggest authors of a research letter in this week's issue of THE LANCET. The male to female ratio of children has declined substantially over the past few decades. The reason for this reduction is not clear, but it has been suggested that... view more... (2002-04-17)
A new method to clone mice: an important step in the research for applications in the human
A simplified method for cloning mice, which has recently resulted in live offspring, has been developed at the Ghent University. Although a few laboratories have been successful in breeding mice by cloning, this is the first report on cloning of an adult mammalian animal in Belgium and using a self-developed purely mechanical method for nuclear... view more...

A crucial role for TGFbeta signaling in congenital eye disorders
The lens in the developing eye acts as a TGFbeta signaling center that controls differentiation, survival and formation of multiple eye structures deriving from the neural crest. view more (2005-12-14)
Starting over: Wnt reactivates dormant limb regeneration program
Chop off a salamander's leg and a brand new one will sprout in no time. But most animals have lost the ability to replace missing limbs. Now, a research team at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies has been able to regenerate a wing in a chick embryo - a species not known to be able to regrow limbs-suggesting that the potential for such... view more...

Scientists discover stage at which an embryonic cell is fated to become a stem cell
Cambridge scientists have discovered the stage at which some of the cells of a fertilised mammalian egg are fated to develop into stem cells and why this occurs. view more (2007-01-11)
Stem cell ethical guidelines must be strengthened, UCSF team says
The possibility of using embryonic stem cells to treat disease, a strategy known as regenerative medicine, is not yet being explored in clinical trials, and may not be for many years. view more (2005-09-22)
Harvard scientists identify compounds that stimulate stem cell growth in the brain
cientists at Harvard University have identified key compounds that stimulate stem cell growth in the brain, which may one day lead to restored function for people affected by Parkinson's disease, strokes, multiple sclerosis, and a wide range of neurological disorders. view more (2006-09-01)
Cold Spring Harbor Protocols highlights reliable methods for gene and protein analyses
In their native form, the thousands of assorted proteins in our body are virtually indistinguishable. Scientists who want to examine the properties and functions of specific proteins, as well as the activities of individual genes, must rely on chemical tags to manipulate and visualize them. view more (2007-04-05)
