Salk scientists say their findings may lead to strategies to treat age-related diseases and improve regenerative medicine Stem cells are essential building blocks for all organisms, from plants to humans. They can divide and renew themselves throughout life, differentiating into the specialized tissues needed during development, as well as cells necessary to repair adult tissue. Therefore, they can be considered immortal, in that they recreate themselves and regenerate tissues...
Connie K. Ho for RedOrbit.com Technology is rapidly progressing and so is research related to stem cells. Researchers from the University of Michigan recently announced that they found a special surface without biological contaminants that can help adult-derived stem cells to grow and change into different cell types. The findings, published in the journal Stem Cells, are considered a breakthrough in stem cell research. In the study, scientists grew bone cells on the surface and then...
Scientists on Wednesday reported that they have for the first time taken skin cells from heart attacks patients and turned them into healthy heart tissue that could hopefully be used to one day repair damaged heart muscle. The healthy, beating heart tissue was grown successfully in the lab from human-induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs), and while scientists said they were not safe enough to put back into human patients, they appeared to work well with other cells when implanted into...
Imagine reading an entire book, but then realizing that your glasses did not allow you to distinguish "g" from "q." What details did you miss? Geneticists faced a similar problem with the recent discovery of a "sixth nucleotide" in the DNA alphabet. Two modifications of cytosine, one of the four bases that make up DNA, look almost the same but mean different things. But scientists lacked a way of reading DNA, letter by letter, and detecting precisely where these modifications are found in...
A Japanese research team has developed a promising new treatment for heart failure by growing sheets of new heart muscle tissue from stem cells. When implanted in damaged rat hearts, the bioengineered tissue improved heart function. The study, led by Dr. Kenji Miki, a cardiovascular surgeon at Osaka University Graduate School of Medicine, appears in the May issue of STEM CELLS Translational Medicine. Durham, NC (PRWEB) May 17, 2012 A Japanese research team has developed a promising new...
A New York Stem Cell Foundation (NYSCF) scientist has shown in new research that human embryonic stem cells can be used to grow bone tissue grafts for use in research and potential medical applications. Dr. Darja Marolt, an investigator at the NYSCF, is the lead author of the study, which was published this week in the online edition of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS). It is the first example of using bone cell progenitors derived from human embryonic stem...

Aruna Biomedical, Inc., the exclusive worldwide commercial licensee of stem cell technology developed at the University of Georgia (UGA), announced today that the US Patent and Trademark Office will issue a new patent mid-month that enlarges the scope of the licensed patent portfolio to include primate pluripotent stem cells. Athens, GA (PRWEB) May 11, 2012 ArunA Biomedical first announced its technology license agreement with the UGA Research Foundation, Inc. for the commercialization of...
New research findings show that embryonic stem cells unable to fully compact the DNA inside them cannot complete their primary task: differentiation into specific cell types that give rise to the various types of tissues and structures in the body. Researchers from the Georgia Institute of Technology and Emory University found that chromatin compaction is required for proper embryonic stem cell differentiation to occur. Chromatin, which is composed of histone proteins and DNA, packages DNA...
