The remarkable power of stem cells - which can be programmed to become almost any type of cell in the body - means they are key to many scientific studies.

Mouse embryos have now been grown completely from stem cells, without sperm or eggs and outside a mouse womb. The breakthrough, from a lab at the Weizmann Institute of Science, appears to represent an important step in understanding the development of organs, disease, and life as a whole. It may also be just the start. As soon as the science starts to move into a place where its feasible to go from a stem cell population in a Petri dish all the way through to organ development which suggests one day it will be possible to go all the way to creating a living organism its a pretty wild and remarkable time, Paul Tesar, a developmental biologist at Case Western Reserve unaffiliated with the work, told STATs Megan Molteni.
Most of us wish we could turn back the clock in some way, to retain or reclaim some of the benefits of youth, whether it's looking younger or regaining some element of youthful prowess.
In a recent study published inNature Neuroscience, scientists revealed a novel screening platform for characterizing genes that regulate specific microglial functions which may contribute to Alzheimers disease (AD).
Each year, Baylor College of Medicine faculty are recognized for their outstanding published scientific contributions to clinical and basic science research over the past three years through the Michael E. DeBakey M.D. Award for Excellence in Research. This years 2022 recipients are Dr
Zhang wins $11.2 million NIH PPG grant to improve heart attack recovery through growth of new heart muscle cells. Jianyi Jay Zhang, M.D., Ph.D.The National Institutes of Health has awarded a five-year, $11.2 million program project grant, or PPG, to Jianyi Jay Zhang, M.D., Ph.D., and colleagues to study how to restore the dead tissue from a heart attack, through the growth of new heart muscle cells. That is a challenge because mammalian hearts show almost no ability to grow new heart muscle cells, called cardiomyocytes, after birth. After a heart attack from a blocked artery, the dead tissue is not repaired with new cardiomyocytes
Westford, USA, Aug. 18, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Multiple myeloma is a cancer of plasma cells in the bone marrow. It is the most common type of leukemia, and the fifth most common cancer around the globe. Prevalence rates of multiple myeloma have more than doubled over the past 30 years and continue to increase, reaching an all-time high of 1.3 million people in 2021. As per SkyQuest analysis of the Multiple Myeloma market, the global prevalence of multiple myeloma is currently pegged at 0.7%, which translates to around 1 case in 132 individuals
Chicago, Aug. 15, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cell Therapy Technologies Marketis projected to grow from USD 4.0 billion in 2022 to USD 8.0 billion by 2027, at a CAGR of 14.6% from 2022 to 2027, according to a new report by MarketsandMarkets.
