researchers in Boston, US, discovered a way to target cancer stem cells

Salinomycin can target and kill the chemotherapy-resistant cells in lab cultures and mice

Scientists at UW-Madison have reprogrammed skin cells and turned them into different kinds of retinal cells, raising hopes for treating disorders that rob millions of their vision.

A collaborative study by researchers at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies uncovered that the tumor suppressor p53 not only stops cells that could become cancerous in their tracks but also controls somatic cell reprogramming.

What happens to fat left over from a liposuction procedure? Brad Pitt might choose to turn it in to soap, but scientists at Stanford University have figured out a surprising alternative: stem cells.

Stem cell researchers must take more care in identifying true pluripotency in reprogrammed human cells, according to a study published online today (October 11) in Nature Biotechnology. The paper outlines strict molecular criteria for recognizing pluripotency, and warns that relying on just a single marker will muddle the field.

International Stem Cell Corporation (ISCO) applauds the recent announcement by doctors at Sweden's Karolinska University Hospital on the creation of the world's first artificial trachea; ISCO would like our followers to understand that the concept of growing cells on a scaffold to treat diseases is showing success in our own research as exemplified by the following: 1) Collaboration with Cytograft in growing artificial blood vessels for treatment of lower limb ischemia.

"(Medical Xpress) -- Researchers from Japan recently published a paper in PLoS One describing their successful growth and transplantation of new teeth created from the stem cells of mice."

Stem cell research is one of the most fascinating areas of medical science. Mahendra Trivedi has done cancer research through his thoughts, i.e. Trivedi Effect.

The non-hematological cancers can be cured through surgery, but this is not always safe, so before applying this method, make sure you are getting good treatment. The Trivedi Effect® is capable of killing the cancer cells through healing, promote the viability of healthy cells and reverse the effect of mutation.

Stem cell research can help treat a scope of medicinal issues. It could lead mankind closer to better treatment and conceivably cure various infections.

"Stem-Cell Dental Implants Grow New Teeth Right In Your Mouth"

"For this study, the investigators bred mice lacking TRPV4 or administered a drug to deactivate it. In the absence of TRPV4, white cells turned on a set of genes that consume energy to produce heat, rather than storing the energy as excess fat. This "thermogenic" process normally occurs in brown or beige fat (commonly called "good fat"), which is found mostly in small animals and human infants to protect against cold. When the TRPV4-deficient mice were put on a high-calorie diet for several weeks, they did not become obese, and their level of fat cell inflammation and insulin resistance was lowered. "We have identified a target that, when inhibited, can activate beige adipose tissue and suppress inflammation," said Spiegelman."

"Alternatively, the technique could potentially be used to insert cells directly into damaged retinas during ocular surgery, says Keith Martin, a professor of ophthalmology at the University of Cambridge, who led the research."

"Cellendes continously expands the 3-D Life product line to provide an innovative and increasingly comprehensive technology for a broad range of applications in 3-D cell culture. Cellendes seeks collaborations with academic and industrial partners to explore and develop the use of the 3-D Life technology in complex cell-based assays and tissue models for drug screening as well as in biomedical engineering. Cellendes was founded in 2009 by Dr. Brigitte Angres and Dr. Helmut Wurst. Cellendes is a spinoff company of the NMI Natural and Medical Sciences Institute at the University of Tübingen."

"So far the treatment, known as faecal transplant, has been tested only on a drug resistant form of the bowel disease caused by the bacterium clostridium difficile. Antibiotics are unreliable against the superbug, but the transplant is 95% successful, saving patients from constant stomach cramps and chronic diarrhoea. "It sounds radical but it makes a lot of sense," said Seppelt on Thursday at a gathering of more than 4,000 Australasian anaesthetists and surgeons. "Usually patients are sufficiently miserable to go ahead, often using a donation from a relative." Healthy humans have about 100 times more bacteria cells in their gut than their own cells."

Researchers at Columbia and Rockefeller Universities have identified cells in the stomach that regulate the release of a hormone associated with appetite. The group is the first to show that these cells, which release a hormone called ghrelin, are controlled by a circadian clock that is set by mealtime patterns. The finding, published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, has implications for the treatment of obesity and is a landmark in the decades-long search for the timekeepers of hunger.
