More-Primitive Stem Cells ProducedScientistResearchers have created induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) within diverse tissues of live transgenic mice, according to a paper published today (September 11) in Nature. These iPSCs found circulating in the blood of reprogrammed mice produced gene … …read more &nbs… Continue reading
Scientists grow new stem cells in a living mouseReutersLONDON (Reuters) – Scientists have succeeded in generating new stem cells in living mice and say their success opens up possibilities for the regeneration of damaged tissue in people with conditions ranging from heart failure to spinal cord injury. …read more &nbs… Continue reading
Stem cells: Living adult tissue transformed back into embryo stateBBC NewsStem cell experts said it was a “cool” study, but would need to be much more controlled before leading to therapies. When an egg is first fertilised, it has the potential to develop into every tissue in the human body, from brain cells to skin. … Continue reading
Scientists create reprogrammable mouse in stem cell breakthroughFinancial TimesScientists in Spain have produced the world’s first embryonic stem cells within a live animal rather than in a laboratory dish. The experiment with mice at the National Cancer Research Centre in Madrid could open a new way to regenerate failing tissues … …read more &nbs… Continue reading
Faulty stem cell regulation may contribute to cognitive deficits associated …Medical XpressThe learning and physical disabilities that affect people with Down syndrome may be due at least in part to defective stem cell regulation throughout the body, according to researchers at the Stanford University School of Medicine. The defects in stem …Stem cells: Down’s syndrome … Continue reading

Cells inside a body reprogrammed to become stem cellsNew ScientistNormal adult cells have been reprogrammed to become stem cells inside live mice for the first time. As stem cells can be coaxed into developing into almost any kind of cell, being able to prompt this behaviour in the body could one day be used to … Continue reading
Stem cells created in living miceNature.comThe finding has the potential to accelerate efforts to develop regenerative therapies by avoiding the need to grow cells outside the body and then grafting them back in place, says George Daley, a stem–cell researcher at Boston Children’s Hospital in … …read more &nbs… Continue reading
