High-Risk Acute-Leukemia Patients May Be Identified Using Genetic Blood TestNew research suggests that certain small molecules used by cells to control the proteins they make might also help doctors identify adult acute-leukemia patients who are likely to respond poorly to therapy.Researchers say the findings should improve the understanding of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and could lead to new therapies for patients with few treatment options.Novel Neural Stem Cell Type IdentifiedResearchers from the Sloan-Kettering Institute, led by Dr. Lorenz Studer, have discovered a novel type of neural stem cell, which has a broader differentiation potential than previously identified neural stem cells.In culture, neural stem cells (NSCs) can readily differentiate into neuronal and glial subtypes, but their ability to differentiate into region-specific neuronal cell types is limited. Dr.Beating Heart Created In LaboratoryUS scientists have for the first time made a beating heart in a laboratory using heart tissue from dead rats and pigs to make a framework and seeding it with live cells.The research is the work of scientists at the University of Minnesota and is published in the January 13th early online issue of Nature Medicine.Bone Marrow Cancer Made Resistant To Treatment By Stem CellsScientists at the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center say they have evidence that cancer stem cells for multiple myeloma share many properties with normal stem cells and have multiple ways of resisting chemotherapy and other treatments.A report on the evidence, published in the Jan. 1 issue of the journal Cancer Research, may explain why the disease is so persistent, the Johns Hopkins scientists say, and pave the way for treatments that overcome the cells' drug resistance.Improved Understanding Of Niche Control Of Stem Cell FunctionThe Stowers Institute's Xie Lab has published findings that begin to characterize the poorly understood interaction among stem cells within their cellular microenvironment, called a niche.The findings appear in Cell Stem Cell.The Xie Lab demonstrated that differentiation-defective Drosophila ovarian germline stem cells (GSCs), behaving like human cancer stem cells, can out-compete normal stem cells for a position in the niche.Advanced Cell Technology Announces Creation Of Human Embryonic Stem Cell Lines Without The Destruction Of EmbryosAdvanced Cell Technology, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: ACTC) together with colleagues announced today the development of five human embryonic stem cell (hESC) lines without the destruction of embryos. These new results have the potential to end the ethical debate surrounding the use of embryos to derive stem cells. In fact, the NIH report to the President refers to this technology as one of the viable alternatives to the destruction of embryos.New Insight Into Factors That Drive Muscle-Building Stem CellsA report in the January issue of Cell Metabolism, a publication of Cell Press, provides new evidence explaining how stem cells known as satellite cells contribute to building muscles up in response to exercise. These findings could lead to treatments for reversing or improving the muscle loss that occurs in diseases such as cancer and AIDS as well as in the normal aging process, according to the researchers.DomaniCell's Unique CGMP And Hospital-based Cord Blood Program ExpandsDomaniCell, LLC (DomaniCell), a leading service provider in the field of stem cell collection and storage, announced that Saint Peter's University Hospital has recently partnered with DomaniCell to provide a hospital-based cord blood banking program.
