Stem cell therapy, which All Blacks prop Owen Franks used to help fix a damaged shoulder, is raising hopes of a whole range of medical breakthroughs. But there's a way to go before the medical establishment is convinced.
For more than 15 years, Doctor Eric Bouhassira and his team have been researching stem cells at Albert Einstein College of Medicine.They say their mission is to use stem cells to create new red blood cells. According to Dr.
Stem cell research is becoming more of a taboo topic as many people of the United States move into a seemingly more anti-abortion stance. Stem cells come from a fetus that is between three to five days old (the clump of cells is called a blastocyst at this point) and can be used to reverse the effects of chemotherapy, and help repair damaged muscle.

Salk Institute researchers have used of a state-of-the-art technology known as single-nucleus (sn) assay for transposase-accessible chromatin (ATAC) sequencing (snATAC-seq) to profile how specific types of mammary cells differentiate during development.
Anti-cancer therapies aimed at blocking mitochondrial energy generation may have wider effects on cancer cell behaviour than just preventing proliferation, new Cambridge research into brain development and tumours in the fruit fly suggests. Cancer cells were once thought to rely on sugar as the primary fuel for their growth, a phenomenon known as the Warburg effect. More recently, it has become clear that other energy sources may be equally important, and much of the growth in cancer cells is fuelled by mitochondria, the powerhouses of cells.
A newly designed viral vector the vehicle that delivers a gene therapyto a patients cells for use insickle cell anemia is more efficient than earlier vectors at introducing healthy copies of genes into stem cells and can be produced in greater amounts, studies in animal models show.
