Stem Cell Divisions Help Explain Cancer Risk
Scientist (blog)
Stem Cell Divisions Help Explain Cancer Risk. An analysis of 31 tissues finds that random mutations acquired during stem cell divisions correlate with lifetime cancer risk—more so than heritable mutations and environmental factors combined. By Anna …

Questions linger over stress-induced stem cells
Nature.com
Serrano tasked two researchers in his lab with making stem cells using the authors’ method — called stimulus-triggered acquisition of pluripotency (STAP). He initially urged them to keep trying when their attempts failed. But within about two months

Stem cell study leads to potential new dementia treatment
The Guardian
Cells used to study “dementia in a dish” have led scientists to a potential new treatment strategy for an inherited form of the brain disease. Defective stem cells grown in the lab revealed a signalling pathway linked to frontotemporal dementia (FTD
