Eye closer as stem cells form shape

Eye closer as stem cells form shape

THE prospect of growing an eye in a laboratory looks more possible after an experiment in which stem cells spontaneously organised themselves into eye-like structures. Japanese researchers watched with surprise as embryonic stem cells fr [...]

The Movement of Goods Around the Cell

The Movement of Goods Around the Cell

In prokaryotic cells, simple diffusion is largely responsible for getting nutrients to where they need to be and for removing waste products. But eukaryotes, which are much more complex, require a specialized mass-transit system. This sy [...]

Systems biologists predict complicated behavior of cells in living animals

Systems biologists predict complicated behavior of cells in ...

To understand this great complexity, a growing number of biologists and bioengineers are turning to computational models. This approach, known as systems biology, has been used successfully to model the behavior of cells grown in laborat [...]

Will Advances in Stem Cell Biology 'Revolutionize' Medicine?

Stem cell research has been a lightning rod for years, with detractors saying that the scientific research tool is unethical and promoters claiming they hold the potential to revolutionize the treatment of such intractable diseases as Pa [...]

Skin Cells Converted into Beating Heart Cells

Skin Cells Converted into Beating Heart Cells

Scientists have successfully converted adult skin cells directly into beating heart cells. This conversion was carried out without going through the laborious process of generating embryonic like stem cells. The powerful general tec [...]

Biologists grow beating heart cells from mice cells

Biologists grow beating heart cells from mice cells

Biologists have grown beating heart cells directly from connective tissues in mice, skipping a previously required middle step -- the creation of stem cells. In the Nature Cell Biology study, led by Jem Efe of the Scripps Research Instit [...]

New Molecule Discovery may Prevent Brain Cells Neurodegenera...

A recently discovered molecule is capable of making brain cells resistant to programmed cell death (apoptosis). The discovery was made by researchers at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. The study is the first to find a mamm [...]

Does cell biology need physicists?

Does cell biology need physicists?

Introduction: Cells are the fundamental units of life. At a basic level, a cell’s primary functions are to grow, replicate, and divide. Survival, at least for a sufficient length of time, is also extremely important in order to ach [...]

Reportlinker Adds Stem Cell Markets

A stem cell is an extraordinary type of cell that has the ability to self-renew for long periods of time and to differentiate into specialized cells under appropriate physiological or experimental conditions. Traditionally, stem cells ha [...]

Pomegranate juice components block cancer cell migration

One of the most dreaded consequences of cancer is when the disease metastasizes -- meaning it spreads from the primary site where it started to other parts of the body. But University of California, Riverside (UCR) scientists have announ [...]

Key to Alzheimer's: Waste in Cells

Key to Alzheimer's: Waste in Cells

Scientists have long known that an accumulation of waste products in the brain's cells can lead to neurodegenerative diseases. Now some are arguing that a similar process takes place in Alzheimer's disease and that by repairing t [...]

On... Off... On... Off... The Circuitry of Insulin-Releasing...

A myriad of inputs that report on a body’s health bombard pancreatic beta cells continuously, and these cells must consider all signals and “decide” when and how much insulin to release to maintain balance in blood suga [...]
