Role Of Tiny RNAs In Controlling Stem Cell Fate Identified By Gladstone ScientistsResearchers at the Gladstone Institute of Cardiovascular Disease (GICD) and the University of California, San Francisco have identified for the first time how tiny genetic factors called microRNAs may influence the differentiation of pluripotent embryonic stem (ES) cells into cardiac muscle.
Adult Stem Cells May Improve Treatment Of Certain Cardiovascular Disorders And Autoimmune DiseasesStemcells harvested from adult blood or bone marrow may provide benefitswhen treating select patients with certain autoimmune diseases andcardiovascular disorders, according to a clinical review in theFebruary 27, 008 issue of JAMA. There are two basictypes of stem cells: embryonic stem cells and adult stem cells. Humanembryonic stem cells are collected from a four to five day oldblastocyst, an early stage in the development of an embryo.
Discovery That Blood Stem Cells Originate And Are Nurtured In The Placenta May Allow Researchers To Mimic Embryonic EnvironmentSolving a long-standing biological mystery, UCLA stem cell researchers have discovered that blood stem cells, the cells that later differentiate into all the cells in the blood supply, originate and are nurtured in the placenta.The discovery may allow researchers to mimic the specific embryonic microenvironment necessary for development of blood stem cells in cell culture and grow them for use in treating diseases like leukemia and aplastic anemia, said Dr.
A New Era In Cell Biology: German Company Develops Groundbreaking Alternative To Stem Cell TherapyIn mid-March the German Bundestag (Lower House) is due to vote on an amendment to the German Stem Cell Act. The opposing poles in the debate on embryonic stem cell research could not be further apart: its proponents are calling for the complete liberalisation of stem cell research, while its critics are in favour of a general ban on the use of human stem cells, which are produced from embryos.
Maryland Senate Subcommittee Reduces Budget For Stem Cell ResearchMaryland Gov. Martin O'Malley's (D) proposed budget for stem cell research was reduced from $23 million to $5 million for fiscal year 2009 by the state Senate's Health, Education and Human Resources subcommittee, part of the more than $80 million in cuts made to the proposed budget made on Friday, the
