Newswise — A previously unknown pattern in DNA methylation – an event that affects cell function by altering gene expression – has been uncovered for the first time by stem cell researchers at UCLA, a finding that could have implications in …
London, May 31 : For the first time, human embryonic stem cells have been cultured under chemically controlled conditions without the use of animal proteins, paving the way for harvesting large quantities of stem cells to treat human diseases.
The California Institute for Regenerative Medicine (CIRM) announced that 12 of 17 California institutions were approved on Jan. 16 for the first application phase of the Major Facility Grants program, and were recommended to advance to the final …
BioTime, Inc. announced today that on June 1, 2010 the Company will be offering for sale five new human stem cell lines for research use only. These cell lines were developed using BioTime’s ACTCellerate™ technology. These highly purified, novel, and scalable cell lines are embryonic progenitors, meaning that they are intermediate between human embryonic stem cells and fully developed cells.
As you report (28 May), the potential for haemopoietic stem cell transplants (commonly known as bone marrow transplants) to treat a range of conditions is enormous. The Anthony Nolan Trust currently provides life-saving stem cell transplants for …
For two decades, the laboratory mouse has been the workhorse of biomedical studies and the only mammal whose genes scientists could effectively and reliably manipulate to study human diseases and conditions.
Researchers say they have discovered a new type of stem cell in the human brain that might be responsible for big and complex brains in human beings.
(RTTNews) – Saturday, Neostem, Inc. (NBS: News ), a provider of stem cell-based therapies said that the Catholic Church has stepped forward to endorse adult stem cell research through the company, including a $1 million investment and pledge to …
The mechanism by which an apparently uniform population of cells can generate a heterogeneous population of differentiated derivatives is a fundamental aspect of pluripotent and multipotent stem cell behaviour. One possibility is that the environment …
With all of the controversy surrounding stem cells, the Catholic Church has stepped forward to endorse adult stem cell research through Neostem, Inc. (AMEX: NBS), including a $1 million investment and pledge to educate priests, schools and hospitals on its benefits.
