Days of Molecular Medicine 2011
It seems to be an extremely interesting conference. Just to highlight a couple of talks: Engineering functional liver tissue, Nanofibers and iPS cells for neural regeneration, Exploring stem cell niche interactions at single cell resolution. Take a look at the whole program. I believe … Continue reading

Stem cells used to grow functioning human intestine
Researchers at the Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center have recently made functional human intestinal tissue from pluripotent stem cells. The researchers project that this will push the boundaries of research into how the intestines develop and work. It will also … Continue reading

New hope for repairing Multiple Sclerosis damage
Researchers at Cambridge and Edinburgh have discovered a way for stem cells in the brain to regenerate myelin, which is needed to protect nerve fibers. The studies, performed on rats, are exciting because they offer new hope that in the … Continue reading

Discovery on Chemicals Needed to Reprogram Cells
Scientists at Scripps Research Institute have found a way to reprogram mature human cells into their pluripotent state and safely turn them into stem cells which as we know can change into other cell types. This reprogramming would pave the … Continue reading
