New Mouse Model For Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy Implicates Stem Cells, Stanford Researchers Say
For years, scientists have tried to understand why children with Duchenne muscular dystrophy experience severe muscle wasting and eventual death. After all, laboratory mice with the same mutation that causes the disease in humans display only a slight weakness… Source:New Mouse Model For Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy Implicates Stem Cells, Stanford Researchers Say
Researchers Make Critical Leukemia Stem Cell Discovery
Researchers at King’s College London have discovered that leukaemic stem cells can be reversed to a pre-leukaemic stage by suppressing a protein called beta-catenin found in the blood. They also found that advanced leukaemic stem cells that had become resistant to treatment could be ‘re-sensitised’ to treatment by suppressing the same protein… Source:Researchers Make Critical [...]
Stem Cells Turned Into Complex, Functioning Intestinal Tissue In Lab
For the first time, scientists have created functioning human intestinal tissue in the laboratory from pluripotent stem cells. ste In a study posted online Dec. 12 by Nature, scientists from Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center say their findings will open the door to unprecedented studies of human intestinal development, function and disease… Source:Stem Cells Turned [...]
Bioheart Announces Plans To Advance LVAD + Muscle Stem Cells Clinical Trial
Bioheart, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: BHRT) announced that at the American Heart Association Annual Meeting, it finalized the formation of a working group. The group’s focus is to advance a BRIDGE TO RECOVERY clinical trial, combining a left ventricle assist device (LVAD) and Bioheart’s MyoCell adult muscle stem cell composition and Bioheart’s MyoCath needle tipped [...]
Identification Of Multitude Of Genetic Regions Key To Embryonic Stem Cell Development
More than 2,000 genetic regions involved in early human development have been identified by researchers at the Stanford University School of Medicine. The regions, called enhancers, are responsible for triggering the expression of distant genes when embryonic stem cells begin to divide to form the many tissues of a growing embryo… Source:Identification Of Multitude Of [...]
