Human bone marrow has been used to create early-stage sperm cells for the first time, a scientific step forward that will help researchers understand more about how sperm cells are created.   view more (2007-04-13)

Tissue engineering technique does not cause tumor growth
A gene therapy approach used in creating new arteries for older patients does not appear to cause cancer, according to a pilot study by Yale School of Medicine researchers reported in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.   view more (2006-03-01)

Possible new compound for treatment of cerebral malaria
In a paper published online in PLoS Medicine researchers from Marseille describe the effects of a new compound that may be a future treatment for patients with cerebral malaria.   view more (2005-08-23)

Stem cell breakthrough offers diabetes hope
Scientists have discovered a new technique for turning embryonic stem cells into insulin-producing pancreatic tissue in what could prove a significant breakthrough in the quest to find new treatments for diabetes.   view more (2008-04-03)

Hebrew University Scientists Shed Lights On How Bacteria Persist Despite Antibiotics
Persistence pays off - for bacteria as well as people. Researchers at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and Rockefeller University in New York have demonstrated the constant presence of antibiotic-tolerant "persistent cells" within bacteria colonies and have shown, through mathematical... view more (2004-12-09)

With few factors, adult cells take on character of embryonic stem cells
With the introduction of just four factors, researchers have successfully induced differentiated cells taken from mouse embryos or adult mice to behave like embryonic stem cells. The researchers reported their findings in an immediate early publication of the journal Cell.   view more (2006-08-11)

Natural compound in broccoli could treat devastating genetic skin disorder
The compound sulforaphane whose natural precursors are found at high levels in broccoli and other cruciferous vegetables has been hailed for its chemopreventive powers against cancer.   view more (2007-12-03)

UVa Study Expected to Accelerate Development of New Therapies For Hearing and Balance Deficiencies that Impair Millions Worldwide
Birds, fish and amphibians can do something that humans and other mammals generally cannot: re-grow damaged or lost inner ear hair cells.   view more (2007-09-26)

Stem cells decrease ischemic injury and restore brain function
This is the impressive result of a study carried out by a group of researchers coordinated by Dr. Maria Grazia De Simoni of the Mario Negri Institute in Milan, Italy in cooperation with the Istituto Neurologico Besta (Milan) and the University of Lausanne.   view more (2007-04-18)

Rac 1 and 2, two proteins essential to triggering of the immune response
The dendritic cells act as the body's sentries, standing guard around the clock. As soon as they detect a potential enemy, they alert the T cells, whose role is to defend the body. At the Institut Curie, CNRS researchers in an Inserm laboratory have filmed the encounter of dendritic cells and T... view more (2004-08-23)

No cell walls, no new cancer cells
Cancer cells, like houses, need building materials for their walls. And as with a house, the cell wall needs to be built at just the right moment to protect and allow the construction of internal components.   view more (2006-08-02)

Deficiency of immune system 'peacekeeper' pinpointed in mice as cause of ulcerative colitis
In a series of mouse experiments, researchers at the Harvard School of Public Health (HSPH) have pinpointed a specific immune deficiency as the likely fundamental cause of ulcerative colitis, a chronic, sometimes severe inflammatory disease of the colon or large intestine that afflicts half a... view more (2007-10-05)

Researchers say estrogen can kill breast cancer cells once fueled by the hormone
Fox Chase Cancer Center researchers say some breast cancer cells once fueled by estrogen can be killed by the same hormone.   view more (2005-12-07)

Cancer and arthritis therapy may be promising treatment for diabetes
An antibody used to treat certain cancers and rheumatoid arthritis appears to greatly delay type 1 diabetes in mice, Yale School of Medicine researchers report in the Journal of Clinical Investigation.   view more (2007-12-19)

New bone marrow model could help people with sickle cell disease
A new model showing how sickle cell blood cells operate within bone marrow is presented at a conference in Austria today. Researchers at Imperial College London, who developed the model, hope that it will eventually be used by clinicians to advance more effective treatments for sickle cell disease.... view more (2005-02-18)

Genes set scene for metastasis
Biologists at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) have identified a set of genes expressed in human breast cancer cells that work together to remodel the network of blood vessels at the site of the primary tumor.   view more (2007-04-12)

Researchers discover important tool in understanding differentiation in human embryonic stem cells
Researchers at the University of Minnesota's Stem Cell Institute have described how an existing genetic tool can be used to study how human embryonic stem cells differentiate. The research appears in the November 2007 issue of Experimental Biology and Medicine.   view more (2007-10-25)

OHSU researcher develops first animal model to treat devasting head and neck cancers
An Oregon Health & Science University Cancer Institute research laboratory has developed a novel mouse model designed specifically to study the often devastating head and neck squamous cell cancers.   view more (2006-05-16)

Discovery suggests why stem cells run through stop signs
Everyone knows that stem cells are controversial. Many people know that stem cells can grow into virtually any cell type found in the body, from a red blood cell to a muscle cell to a brain cell. But no one really knows why stem cells continue to divide and renew themselves long after the point... view more (2005-06-13)
