Scientists discover how to isolate stem cells in womb tissue
Scientists in Australia have found a way of identifying probable stem cells in the lining of women's wombs. The finding opens up the possibility of using the stem cells for tissue engineering applications such as building up natural tissue to repair prolapsed pelvic floors. Pelvic floor prolapse is... view more (2007-09-13)

Dangerous wheat disease jumps Red Sea
A new form of stem rust, a virulent wheat disease, has jumped from eastern Africa and is now infecting wheat in Yemen in the Arabian Peninsula.   view more (2007-01-17)

Weizmann Institute scientists discover a key player in embryonic muscle development
Muscle fibers are large cells that contain many nuclei. They begin, like all animal cells, as naive embryonic cells. These cells differentiate, producing intermediate cells called myoblasts that are now destined to become muscle.   view more (2007-04-12)

Intensive training post-spinal cord injury can stimulate repair in brain and spinal cord
Intensive rehabilitation training for patients with spinal cord injuries can stimulate new branches growing from severed nerve fibers, alongside compensatory changes in the brain, say Canadian researchers. Most importantly, it could lead to restoring hand function and the ability to walk.   view more (2007-12-19)

Neurons grown from embryonic stem cells restore function in paralyzed rats
For the first time, researchers have enticed transplants of embryonic stem cell-derived motor neurons in the spinal cord to connect with muscles and partially restore function in paralyzed animals.   view more (2006-06-21)

MIT works toward novel therapeutic device
MIT and University of Rochester researchers report important advances toward a therapeutic device that has the potential to capture cells as they flow through the blood stream and treat them. Among other applications, such a device could zapp cancer cells spreading to other tissues, or signal stem... view more (2007-10-23)

U of MN adult stem cell research shows promise for transplant therapies
University of Minnesota stem cell researchers, together with collaborators at Stanford University, have successfully used adult stem cells to replace the immune system and bone marrow of mice, offering the promise of new therapies for people in the future.   view more (2007-01-16)

Cardiac cell transplant studies show promise in cardiac tissue repair
Two studies published in the current issue of CELL TRANSPLANTATION (17:6) examine the efficacy of transplanting bone marrow cells (BMCs) for the repair of heart tissue.    view more (2008-09-04)

Gene-transcription machinery seen poised for action, held in check until needed
For some time, scientists have been tracking down the sequence of biochemical steps required to attract and assemble at the head end of a gene the molecular machinery needed to transcribe that gene to put to work the information it encodes.   view more (2007-07-26)

Dartmouth professor makes case for ethically universal stem cell lines
Human embryonic stem cells (hESC), those very young cells that are a biological blank slate, have the potential to become more specialized, contributing to the workings of a wide variety of organs and tissues.   view more (2007-06-08)

T vs. B: Re-engineered human T cells effectively target and kill cancerous B cells
Human white blood cells, engineered to recognize other malignant immune cells, could provide a novel therapy for patients with highly lethal B cell cancers such as acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), according to researchers at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC).   view more (2007-09-18)

Neuronal regulators offer potential targets for cancer
Being too brainy can be a bad thing in a junior high cafeteria, where the social hierarchy favors other traits. "Braininess" also causes problems for cells.   view more (2008-03-20)

Prozac's target revealed
Researchers at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory on Long Island have identified which among several different kinds of cells in the brain is the chief target of the widely prescribed antidepressant Prozac.   view more (2006-05-16)

Media Invitation: Life, Science and Ethics - Press Conference, Glasgow, 20 July 2004
PRESS CONFERENCE Tuesday July 20, 11.30am at the SECC in Glasgow Stem cells, GM foods and human genetics are just a few examples of new science that is having a massive impact on the way we live. But where are the ethical boundaries? Progress at what cost? YOU ARE INVITED to a press conference on... view more (2004-07-16)

Penn Veterinary Medicine report new strategy to create genetically modified animals
Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine have demonstrated the potential of a new strategy for genetic modification of large animals.   view more (2007-09-21)

The new source of islet cells
The shortage of islet cells limits the development of islet transplantation. One new approach was reported in the October 21 issue of the World Journal of Gastroenterology because of its great significance in enhancing the output of islet cells. This article will undoubtedly bring benefit to... view more (2007-10-25)

Malignant melanoma cells secrete protein required for embryo formation
A Northwestern University research group has discovered that aggressive melanoma cells secrete Nodal, a protein that is critical to proper embryo formation.   view more (2006-07-31)

Adult brain cells rediscover their inner child
You may not be able to relive your youth, but part of your brain can. Johns Hopkins researchers have found that newly made nerves in an adult brain's learning center experience a one-month period when they are just as active as the nerves in a developing child.   view more (2007-05-24)

Iron particles and MRI could replace biopsies to track stem cell therapy and deploy stents
In a series of experiments in animals, researchers at Johns Hopkins have successfully used a technique that tracks mesenchymal stem cells via magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to monitor the progress of the cells in repairing tissue scarred by heart attack.   view more (2005-12-05)

Stem cell transplants improve recovery in animal models for stroke, cerebral palsy
A single dose of adult donor stem cells given to animals that have neurological damage similar to that experienced by adults with a stroke or newborns with cerebral palsy can significantly enhance recovery from these types of injuries, researchers say.   view more (2006-04-10)

Stem cells can repair torn tendons or ligaments
Weekend athletes who overexert themselves running or playing basketball may one day reap the benefits of research at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem that shows that adult stem cells can be used to make new tendon or ligament tissue.   view more (2006-04-04)

Findings advance use of adult stem cells for replacement bone
In a significant advance for regenerative medicine, researchers at Rice University have discovered a new way to culture adult stem cells from bone marrow such that the cells themselves produce a growth matrix that is rich in important biochemical growth factors.   view more (2006-02-14)

Chemistry & Industry Magazine - 16 August Issue
NEWS Brain’s grammar function separates us from apes (page 5) Until now there has been no comprehensive and scientific evidence to explain why monkeys and humans are so different, despite having a mere 1.23% difference in their genome but researchers in Japan have discovered that humans... view more (2002-08-14)
