Tissue Degeneration Found In Aging Is Partially Caused By Mitochondrial Dysfunction In Stem Cells
Monday, January 16th, 2012Research models have preciously found that an accumulation of mitochondrial genome defects leads to symptoms of premature aging: thin skin, graying of hair, baldness, osteoporosis and anemia. In a… This is a content summary only. Visit our website for full links, other content, and more! Thanks! Stem Cell Research
Flexible Neural Stem Cells Found In A Single Layer At The Back Of The Human Eye
Saturday, January 14th, 2012That cell layer, known as the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), underlies and supports photoreceptors in the light-sensitive retina. Without it, photoreceptors and vision are lost. The new study… This is a content summary only. Visit our website for full links, other content, and more! Thanks! Stem Cell Research
Factor That Translates Mechanical Work In Muscles Into Chemical Growth Signal To Muscle Stem Cells Found
Friday, January 13th, 2012We take it for granted, but the fact that our muscles grow when we work them makes them rather unique. Turns out a factor produced in working muscle fibers apparently tells surrounding muscle stem… This is a content summary only. Visit our website for full links, other content, and more! Thanks!

Adult Kidney Stem Cells Found In Zebra Fish
Thursday, February 3rd, 2011It has long been a given that adult humans — and mammals in general — lack the capacity to grow new nephrons, the kidney’s delicate blood filtering tubules. This has meant that dialysis, and… This is a content summary only. Visit our website for full links, other content, and more! Thanks! Stem Cell Research
Caspase (“Grim Reaper”) Genes Found To Be Gatekeepers In Adult Cell To Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell Regression
Monday, December 7th, 2009“By doing experiments in which we added caspase inhibitor genes to the Yaminaka protocol, we discovered that when caspases are turned off, you cannot make IPSCs,” said Chuan-Yuan Li, PhD, professor… This is a content summary only.
