Breakthrough Discovery: Stem Cell “Messages” Fast-Track Healing of Diabetic Wounds
A study has unveiled that exosomes, extracted from adipose mesenchymal stem cells (ADSC-Exos), markedly speed up the healing process of skin wounds in diabetic mice. This discovery tackles the pressing global health issue of diabetic wounds, notorious for precipitating grave complications and impairments.
New clues to early development of schizophrenia
Schizophrenia is a severe neuropsychiatric disease that remains poorly understood and treated. Schizophrenia onset is typically in adolescence or early adulthood, but its underlying causes are thought to involve neurodevelopmental abnormalities.
Boosting weak immune system: scientists find an unusual weapon against virus
New approach boosts immune system to fight CMV in immunocompromised mice.
A key function for tight junctions in embryo models
As a human embryo grows, a set of molecules directs cells as they multiply and take on specific identities and spatial positions within the embryo. In one crucial step known as gastrulation, these signaling molecules guide a single layer of embryonic stem cells to form three layers of distinct cell types that will later become different parts of the body.
Scientists develop universal donor stem cell therapy to treat degenerative brain diseases in a preclinical study
Scientists at City of Hope have developed universal donor stem cells that could one day provide lifesaving therapy to children with lethal brain conditions, such as Canavan disease, as well as to people with other degenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer’s and multiple sclerosis.
Healing the unhealable: New approach helps bones mend themselves
University of Pittsburgh researchers developed a novel approach that promoted bone regeneration in mice without implantation of bone tissue or biomaterials.
Researchers create embryo-like structures from monkey embryonic stem cells for the first time
Human embryo development and early organ formation remain largely unexplored due to ethical issues surrounding the use of embryos for research as well as limited availability of materials to study.
A stem cell’s sense of touch
Building tissues and organs is one of the most complex and important tasks that cells must accomplish during embryogenesis.
Lab-Grown “Mini-Kidneys” Unlock Secrets of a Rare Disease
Researchers have solved a medical mystery in a poorly understood disease by uncovering which cells cause tumours in patients with tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC).
International team of bioethicists and scientists suggests revisiting 14-day limit on human embryo research for potential health and fertility benefits
An international team of bioethicists and scientists, led by a researcher at Case Western Reserve University, contends it may be justified to go beyond the standing 14-day limit that restricts how long researchers can study human embryos in a dish. Going beyond this policy limit could lead to potential health and fertility benefits, and the authors provide a process for doing so.
Satya Dandekar honored with prestigious NIH MERIT award for HIV research
Satya Dandekar, professor of microbiology and chairperson of the Department of Medical Microbiology and Immunology at UC Davis, honored by Prestigious NIH MERIT award for her illustrious journey in HIV research.
Missouri S&T researchers create organ tissue with bioactive glass, stem cells and 3D printer
An interdisciplinary team of Missouri S&T researchers is creating organ tissue samples using bioactive glass, stem cells and a 3D printer. The project could advance pharmaceutical testing and lead to a better understanding of how diseases affect human cells. The researchers grow stem cells and add them to hydrogels made of alginate, gelatin or similar substances.
