Researchers predict cell conversion factors

Potential for regenerative medicine

01-Aug-2018 - Thanks to a newly developed computational method, Luxembourg researchers can accurately predict how one subpopulation of cells can be converted into another. “The method has great potential for regenerative medicine when it comes to replacing cell subpopulations that have been lost in the course ...

Stingray soft robot could lead to bio-inspired robotics

16-Jan-2018 - UCLA bioengineering professor Ali Khademhosseini has led the development of a tissue-based soft robot that mimics the biomechanics of a stingray. The new technology could lead to advances in bio-inspired robotics, regenerative medicine and medical diagnostics. The simple body design of stingrays, ...

How does a cell maintain its identity during replication?

18-Sep-2017 - Prior to cell division, chromosomes are seemingly a jumbled mess. During cell division, parent cell chromosomes and their duplicates sort themselves out by condensing, becoming thousands of times more compact than at any other time. Researchers have long assumed that genes become "silent" during ...

Tiny nanoparticles offer significant potential in detecting and treating disease

New review of work on exosomes

26-Jun-2017 - Exosomes - tiny biological nanoparticles which transfer information between cells - offer significant potential in detecting and treating disease, the most comprehensive overview so far of research in the field has concluded. Areas which could benefit include cancer treatment and regenerative ...

Image-tracking technology helps scientists study nature v. nurture in neural stem cells

07-Sep-2015 - One of the longstanding debates in science, that has, perhaps unsurprisingly, permeated into the field of stem cell research, is the question of nature versus nurture influencing development. Science on stem cells thus far, has suggested that, as one side of the existential debate holds: their ...

Material screening method allows more precise control over stem cells

15-Apr-2013 - When it comes to delivering genes to living human tissue, the odds of success come down the molecule. The entire therapy — including the tools used to bring new genetic material into a cell — must have predictable effects. Now, a new screening process will simplify non-viral transfection, ...

New insights into how stem cells determine what tissue to become

03-Aug-2010 - Within 24 hours of culturing adult human stem cells on a new type of matrix, University of Michigan researchers were able to make predictions about how the cells would differentiate, or what type of tissue they would become. Their results are published in the Aug. 1 edition of Nature ...

Carnegie Mellon MRI technology that non-invasively locates, quantifies specific cells in the body

22-Aug-2008 - Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) isn't just for capturing detailed images of the body's anatomy. Thanks to novel imaging reagents and technology developed by Carnegie Mellon University scientist Eric Ahrens, MRI can be used to visualize cell populations of interest in the living body. The ability ...

Agilent Technologies Tools Used to Derive New Type of Mouse Embryonic Stem Cell that Shares Key Features of Human Embryonic Stem

30-Jul-2007 - Using a variety of Agilent Technologies genomics tools, researchers at the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), National Institutes of Health (NIH), and the University of Oxford, U.K., have achieved a major milestone in solving some of the perplexing differences ...
