Scientists have eliminated the need for a viral vector in the stem cell reprogramming process In a report in Science, they showed the ability to reprogram adult cells into iPS cells without viral integration into the genome which lays to rest concerns that the reprogramming event might be dependent upon viral integration into specific genomic loci that could mediate the genetic switch.
Shinya Yamanaka MD, PhD, of Kyoto University and the Gladstone Institute of Cardiovascular Disease (GICD) has taken another step forward in improving the possibilities for the practical application of induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cell technology.
( Gladstone Institutes ) Dr. Yamanaka's laboratory in Kyoto has eliminated the need for a viral vector in the stem cell reprogramming process In a report published this week in Science, they showed the ability to reprogram adult cells into iPS cells without viral integration into the genome which lays to rest concerns that the reprogramming event might be dependent upon viral integration into ...
Scientists from Germany and the UK have found a new source of stem cells that could be as good as embryonic stem cells for researching and developing treatments for a range of serious diseases, but without the ethical problems of embryonic stem cells; the source is routine biopsies of men's testicles.
The idea of using herbs to heal is not a new one. Often, a warming herbal tea is just the thing needed on a cold winter night. No need to stop there, however. Herbs can be used to support and enhance your body's own resistance to illness.
Q. I've had a head cold with runny nose for more than a week and now have pressure in my cheekbones. My doctor wouldn't give me antibiotics, but instead wanted me to inhale prescription steroids through my nose and use over-the-counter pain pills. Should I change doctors?
Scientists have converted cells from human testes into stem cells that grew into muscle, nerve cells, and other kinds of tissue, according to a study published yesterday in the online edition of Nature.
