Integrins control the positioning and proliferation of follicle stem cells in the Drosophila ovary
August 26, 2008
Scientists find that follicle stem cells (FSCs) in the Drosophila melanogaster ovary rely on cues that are distinct from those of other ovarian stem cells to establish and maintain their unique niche.
Tiny Cellular Antennae Trigger Neural Stem Cells
August 25, 2008
Researchers discovered that in mice, primary cilia act like antennae to receive and coordinate signals that spur creation of new brain cells.
Wisdom Teeth As Source Of Stem Cells
August 25, 2008
Researchers in Japan have successfully made stem cells from wisdom teeth, creating an alternative source of pluripotent cells for researching and treating disease and avoiding the ethical problems surrounding the use of embryonic stem cells.
New Stem Cell Bank Offering iPS Cells
August 22, 2008
The WiCell Bank will offer three iPS, or induced pluripotent, stem cell lines reprogrammed from human skin cells.
Bone Marrow Stem Cells May Help Control Inflammatory Bowel Disease
August 21, 2008
MGH Center for Engineering in Medicine reports that mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), known to control several immune system activities, allowed the regeneration of the gastrointestinal lining in mice with a genetic mutation leading to multiorgan autoimmune disease.
Scientists Make Red Blood Cells From Human Embryonic Stem Cells
August 20, 2008
Researchers are able to differentiate and mature human embryonic stem cells into functional oxygen-carrying red blood cells on a large scale.
Endometrial Regenerative Cells (ERCs) can restore blood flow.
August 19, 2008
Scientists find that Endometrial Regenerative Cells (ERCs) are capable of restoring blood flow in an animal model of advanced peripheral artery disease
Immune Response To Human Embryonic Stem Cells In Mice Suggests Human Therapy May Face Challenge
August 19, 2008
Researchers find that Human embryonic stem cells trigger an immune response in mice.
Polymer Technology May Provide New Way to Grow Stem Cells
August 13, 2008
Queensland scientists have successfully turned synthetic material into an embryonic stem cell, in a research breakthrough that may one day quell the debate over stem cell therapies.
Medulloblastomas Originate From Stem Cells
August 12, 2008
Scientists find that tumors may arise when a cell signaling pathway known as Sonic hedgehog is reactivated by a chance mutation.
