UrduA new study out of a Canadian collaborative in Hamilton, Ottawa and Calgary shows human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs), which are normally used for cell replacement therapies, possess hidden shared properties with adult tumors. The authors believe this finding provides…

Important step towards accurate use of stem cell-based disease models
During the past ten years, scientists have learned to create induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) from ordinary cells by genetic reprogramming.
A Stem Cell Model From Mount Sinai Could Help Unravel the Complex Biology Behind Some Psychiatric Disorders
Researchers from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have applied a novel stem cell model to map disease risk variants in human neurons, which could help provide insights into the biological mechanisms that underlie neuropsychiatric disorders such as autism and schizophrenia.
How to speed up muscle repair
By studying how different pluripotent stem cell lines build muscle, researchers have for the first time discovered how epigenetic mechanisms can be triggered to accelerate muscle cell growth, providing new insights for developing therapies for muscle disease, injury and atrophy.
Cedars-Sinai Looks to Space for Tomorrow’s Stem Cell Therapies
Is the future of personalized medicine out of this world? Cedars-Sinai is trying to find out by launching special stem cells into space to see if they multiply better there. The Cedars-Sinai Board of Governors Regenerative Medicine Institute is partnering with Space Tango of Lexington, Kentucky, to send induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) to the International Space Station. The first flight for the project, funded by a $1.5 million award from NASA, could occur as early as next year.
