A team at the Institut de recherches cliniques de Montreal (IRCM) led by Dr. Tarik Moroy, President and Scientific Director of the institute and Director of the Hematopoiesis and Cancer research unit published an important breakthrough in Immunity, a scientific journal from the Cell Press group...
Researchers at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies have discovered how AMPK, a metabolic master switch that springs into gear when cells run low on energy, revs up a cellular recycling program to free up essential molecular building blocks in times of need. In a paper published in the...
Cultured mesenchymal stem cells can "feel" at least several microns below the surface of an artificial microfilm matrix, gauging the elasticity of the extracellular bedding that is a crucial variable in determining their fate, researchers reported at the American Society for Cell Biology's 50th...
...multi-cellular organisms...? Using three different examples, discuss the different means by which cells communicate with each other in multi-cellular organisms...
Which three examples would you include and which points would you include to answer this?
Thanks!
...different men? from lets say an Asian and a Latino man and make it one, than inject it into a female of any origin and lets assume she become pregnant would that baby be consider to have two different fathers literally?
I really would like to know if that is even possible??
Bioheart, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: BHRT) announced that at the American Heart Association Annual Meeting, it finalized the formation of a working group. The group's focus is to advance a BRIDGE TO RECOVERY clinical trial, combining a left ventricle assist device (LVAD) and Bioheart's MyoCell...
For Immediate Release Scripps Research Institute scientists have made a significant leap forward in the drive to find a way to safely reprogram mature human cells and turn them into stem cells, which can then change into other cell types, such as nerve, heart, and liver cells. The ability to...
This week news emerged that doctors have injected stem cells into the brain of a stroke survivor in a bid to help find a new treatment for the condition. A research team in Glasgow carried out the pioneering procedure on a patient who will be closely monitored for two years to see if the...
Cells have their own version of the cut-and-paste editing function called splicing. Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine have documented a novel form of splicing in the cytoplasm of a nerve cell, which dictates a special form of a potassium channel protein in the...
The first ever clinical trial using neural stem cell therapy has begun with one patient in the UK, ReNeuron Group plc announced today. Known as the Pilot Investigation of Stem Cells in Stroke (PISCES) study, it is the first ever fully regulated neural stem cell therapy clinical trial for...
I need a gripping introduction for a speech I'm giving on Embryonic Stem Cells. I'm part of a symposium and my portion is specifically embryonic stem cells. My intro has to be 'grabbing' and able to obtain a college classes attention. Any ideas?
Metabolon, Inc., the leader in global metabolomics, biomarker discovery and analysis, announces the publication of "Metabolomic Profiling Reveals Biochemical Pathways and Biomarkers Associated with Pathogenesis in Cystic Fibrosis Cells", in the Journal of Biological Chemistry (2010, Vol. 285...
(during the week or weekend)? We are in the group going from Alltel to AT&T....we don't like any of our choices for replacement phones (we have BB Tours right now and LOVE them...the only BB offered without redoing a contract is a curve which is much smaller), plus we can't find any plans that...
I am 21 years old, and have had an autoimmune disease for over ten years which caused anemia (specifically low iron) and hypothyroidism (which is actually how we should out about the disease in the first place). With the anemia, I've tried everything to treat it that doctors have recommended...
...a fluorescent molecule that spec? A scientist working in a research lab has treated a dish of mutant cells with a fluorescent molecule that specifically binds to MHC proteins. under the microscope, the fluorescent molecule appears in the cell's Golgi apparatus.
A) Is this an expected result...
Cancer Research UK scientists have uncovered a new strategy that could be used by cancer cells to side step the body's normal safety checks and become immortal - a key step for a cancer cell - according to a study published in Nature.* The strategy involves cells topping up their biological...
Minuscule solar cells that can fix themselves using the same building blocks as plant cells have been demonstrated, with our old friend the carbon nanotube one of the key components that holds these self-healing power units together. More »
Scientists have built a clearer picture of how lengthy strands of DNA are concertinaed when our cells grow and divide, in a discovery could help explain how cell renewal can go wrong. Scientists have identified thousands of proteins that play a key role in compacting DNA - a crucial process by...
