New Method Developed To Create Mesenchymal Stem Cells From Either Embryonic Or Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells
Tuesday, March 27th, 2012Researchers have developed a new method to create mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). “We used a small molecule to induce embryonic stem cells over a 10 day period, which is much faster than other studies… This is a content summary only.

PARALYSIS CURE BILL BACK ON TRACK
Monday, March 26th, 2012PARALYSIS CURE BILL BACK ON TRACK! Dear Friend of Research for Cure: Last year, the funding was cut off for California’s Roman Reed Spinal Cord Injury Research Act. This is the law which funded the famous “paralyzed rats that walked again” stem cell research that Christopher Reeve so often talked about. California finances being what [...]
Providing Alternative To Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells, New Technique Promises To Enable Faster And More Efficient Production Of Functional Cells
Friday, March 23rd, 2012New research has explored an alternative to iPS cells based on the use of transcriptional regulatory networks (TRNs), networks of transcription factors and the genes they regulate. Previous research… This is a content summary only. Visit our website for full links, other content, and more! Thanks! Stem Cell Research
Stem Cells From Amniotic Fluid Turned Into Cells That Form Blood Vessels
Wednesday, March 21st, 2012As a result of this success researchers hope to grow patches to repair infant hearts from the amniotic stem cells of a fetus diagnosed in the womb with a congenital heart defect. Because the cells… This is a content summary only. Visit our website for full links, other content, and more! Thanks! Stem Cell Research
Eye Structures Produced From Human Blood-Derived Stem Cells
Sunday, March 18th, 2012Researchers have made early retina structures containing proliferating neuroretinal progenitor cells using induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells derived from human blood. Additionally, the retina… This is a content summary only. Visit our website for full links, other content, and more! Thanks! Stem Cell Research
Mechanism Determining Whether Embryonic Stem Cells Proliferate As Stem Cells Or Differentiate Into Adult Cells Proposed
Saturday, March 17th, 2012New research has proposed a mechanism for the control of whether embryonic stem cells continue to proliferate and stay stem cells, or differentiate into adult cells like brain, liver or skin. In… This is a content summary only. Visit our website for full links, other content, and more! Thanks! Stem Cell Research
Faster Way To Collect Stem Cells From Blood
Friday, March 16th, 2012It has been historically necessary to search through billions of other cells to collect rare cells such as tumor cells, stem cells or fetal cells. Reserchers at MIT and Massachusetts General Hospital… This is a content summary only. Visit our website for full links, other content, and more! Thanks! Stem Cell Research
Stem Cells Hint At Treatment For Huntington’s Disease
Thursday, March 15th, 2012Huntington’s disease is a debilitating congenital neurological disorder that progressively robs patients of muscle coordination and cognitive ability.

Insulin And Diet Prevent Blood Stem Cell Differentiation In The Fruit Fly
Wednesday, March 14th, 2012Keeping blood stem cells, or progenitor cells, from differentiating into blood cells is important as blood stem cells are needed to create the blood supply for the adult fruit fly.

Establishing Stem Cell Lines May Be Easier As Critical Stage Of Embryonic Development Is Now Observable
Sunday, March 11th, 2012Using the mouse embryo as a model researchers have developed a method to overcome the barrier of implantation into the womb by culturing and imaging embryos outside the body of the mother for the… This is a content summary only.
