OHSU researchers demonstrate how white blood cells cannibalize virus-infected cells
Researchers at the Vaccine and Gene Therapy Institute (VGTI) at Oregon Health & Science University have demonstrated how certain white blood cells literally eat virus-infected cells while fighting disease at the microscopic level.   view more (2006-10-03)

How stem cells are regulated
Researchers from Biotech Research & Innovation Centre (BRIC) at University of Copenhagen have identified a new group of proteins that regulate the function of stem cells. The results are published in the new issue of Cell.   view more (2007-02-23)

Sugar study is sweetener for stem cell science
Scientists at The University of Manchester are striving to discover how the body's natural sugars can be used to create stem cell treatments for heart disease and nerve damage - thanks to a £370,000 funding boost.   view more (2008-07-23)

Clues to breast cancer hidden inside stem cells
Stem cells and how to boost them is hot on the research agenda. But stopping them could be critical too, as evidence implicating stem cells in cancer is mounting.   view more (2006-04-25)

Stem cell treatment succeeds in spinal cord-injured rats
Stem cells can repair damaged spinal tissue and help restore function in rats with spinal cord injuries, according to a new study.   view more (2006-03-29)

Fat cells around coronary arteries may play a role in heart disease
The fat cells that surround coronary arteries may play a central and previously unrecognized role in development of cardiovascular disease, according to a study by University of Iowa researchers.   view more (2006-04-05)

Penn researchers provide insights into how the immune system avoids attacking itself
A finding by University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine researchers about how immune cells "decide" to become active or inactive may have applications in fighting cancerous tumors, autoimmune diseases, and organ transplant rejection.   view more (2006-10-13)

Counting tumor cells in blood predicts treatment benefit in prostate cancer
Counting the number of tumor cells circulating in the bloodstream of patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer can accurately predict how well they are responding to treatment, new results show.   view more (2008-07-07)

Antibiotics may not be enough to stop recurrent gastric lymphoma caused by Helicobacter pylori
Research led by Dr. Anne Mueller at Stanford University School of Medicine demonstrates that successful eradication of Helicobacter may not prevent future aggressive gastric lymphoma since resting B cells are left behind.   view more (2005-08-25)

Role of autophagy in tumorigenesis
In the June 1 issue of G&D, Dr. Eileen White and colleagues at Rutgers University/University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey/Cancer Institute of New Jersey, report, for the first time, that the cellular self-digesting process of autophagy can protect genome integrity - lending new... view more (2007-05-18)

Building the blood-brain barrier
Construction of the brain's border fence is supervised by Wnt/b-catenin signaling, report Liebner et al. in The Journal of Cell Biology.    view more (2008-10-27)

Combating Infant Deaths From Diarrhoea
Hundreds of thousands of infant lives could be saved every year when the research findings from many teams, including one from Bristol University, are used to prevent infant deaths from diarrhoea in developing countries, the Society for General Microbiology's Spring Meeting in Edinburgh heard... view more (2003-04-02)

DNA 'tattoos' link adult, daughter stem cells in planarians
Unlike some parents, adult stem cells don't seem to mind when their daughters get a tattoo. In fact, they're willing to pass them along.   view more (2008-09-11)

Tumor wizardry wards off attacks from the immune system
Like the fictional wizard Harry Potter, some cancerous tumors seem capable of wrapping themselves in an invisibility cloak. Researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have found that pancreatic tumors hide from the body's immune surveillance by surrounding themselves with... view more (2006-07-17)

UNC scientists turn human skin cells into insulin-producing cells
Researchers at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Medicine have transformed cells from human skin into cells that produce insulin, the hormone used to treat diabetes.   view more (2008-09-18)

Model identifies genes that induce normal skin cells to become abnormal
Northwestern University researchers have developed a novel, three-dimensional model that allows scientists to observe how interacting with the microenvironment of metastatic melanoma cells induces normal skin cells to become similar to aggressive cancer cells that migrate and spread throughout the... view more (2005-11-15)

New toxicity test could cut animal testing
To test whether chemicals are toxic to humans, researchers need to use liver cells that have been freshly harvested from mice or other mammals. A new collection of stable cell lines, described in BMC Biotechnology this week, could reduce the numbers of animals needed in such experiments. The MMH-GH... view more (2004-03-17)

Manchester researchers announce new methods of beating breast cancer
University of Manchester researchers will reveal new ways of controlling and treating breast cancer at the National Cancer Research Institute conference in Birmingham today (Monday 1 October 2007).   view more (2007-10-02)

How to grow muscle cells in a dish
Smooth muscle cells (SMCs) are a crucial cellular component of many parts of the body, including blood vessels, the intestines, and the lungs.   view more (2006-11-10)

Gene may hold key to future cancer hope
Scientists may have discovered a new way of killing tumours in what they hope could one day lead to alternative forms of cancer treatments.   view more (2007-10-09)

Want a reason to love your lower belly fat? It's rich in stem cells
Fat removed from the lower abdomen and inner thigh through liposuction was found to be an excellent source of stem cells, with higher stem cell concentrations than other areas of the body.   view more (2008-07-24)

Low cholesterol cues cataract development
Cataracts are a leading cause of blindness worldwide. Using a rat model of cataract formation, Masayuki Mori and researchers at Shinshu University Graduate School of Medicine in Japan have now found a link between cataracts and cholesterol.   view more (2006-01-27)
