Radiation Generates Cancer Stem Cells From Less Aggressive Breast Cancer Cells
Breast cancer stem cells, thought to be the sole source of tumor recurrence, are known to be resistant to radiation therapy and don’t respond well to chemotherapy.
Quantitative Imaging Application to Gut And Ear Cells are Reported in 2 Nature Papers
From tracking activities within bacteria to creating images of molecules that make up human hair, several experiments have already demonstrated the unique abilities of the revolutionary imaging technique called multi-isotope imaging mass spectometry,...Study Uncovers a Molecular ‘maturation Clock’ That Modulates Branching Architecture in Tomato Plants
The secret to pushing tomato plants to produce more fruit might not lie in an extra dose of Miracle-Gro. Instead, new research from Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) suggests that an increase in fruit yield might be achieved by manipulating a molecular...Pig-induced Pluripotent Stem Cells May be Safer Than Previously Thought
Pig stem cell research conducted by two animal scientists at the University of Georgia reveals a better way to determine the safety of future stem cell therapies than rodent-based models. Rodent studies are likely inadequate for testing many human therapies—including...
UCLA Scientists Engineer Blood Stem Cells to Fight Melanoma
Researchers from UCLA’s cancer and stem cell centers have demonstrated for the first time that blood stem cells can be engineered to create cancer-killing T-cells that seek out and attack a human melanoma. The researchers believe the approach could...Surprise Role of Nuclear Structure Protein in Development
Scientists have long held theories about the importance of proteins called B-type lamins in the process of embryonic stem cells replicating and differentiating into different varieties of cells. New research from a team led by Carnegie’s Yixian...Fetal Stem Cells From Placenta May Help Maternal Heart Recover From Injury
Researchers from Mount Sinai School of Medicine have discovered the therapeutic benefit of fetal stem cells in helping the maternal heart recover after heart attack or other injury. The research, which marks a significant advancement in cardiac regenerative...Tales From the Crypt
The lining of the intestine regenerates itself every few days as compared to say red blood cells that turn over every four months. The cells that help to absorb food and liquid that humans consume are constantly being produced. The various cell types...
