Scientists successfully create melanocyte precursor cells using stem cell technology

Our hair, skin and eyes are colored by a pigment called melanin, which is produced by pigment cells called melanocytes. Scientists have used stem cell technology to successfully create melanocyte precursor cells.

Study compares single cell and MSC micropellets for cartilage regeneration

Repair of cartilage injuries or defects is aided by the introduction of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), which can be incorporated into hydrogels to amplify their effects.

Cells don’t take up DNA cage nanostructures to a significant extent, finds study

Many studies indicating that DNA nanostructures can enter cells more readily than simple DNA strands are flawed, according to researchers at McGill University.

Penn study reveals link between mitochondrial damage and osteoporosis

Some risk factors for osteoporosis such as being older and female or having a family history of the condition cannot be avoided. But others can, like smoking cigarettes, consuming alcohol, taking certain medications, or being exposed to environmental pollutants.

Combination of antibiotics prevents cancer cells from motoring

Scientists in Salford, UK have found a way to make cancer stem cells reproduce defectively "like cars without engines".

Routine screening for SCD among refugees could help prevent life-threatening complications

Hematologists are zeroing in on the escalating humanitarian crisis in southern Europe by assessing the burden of blood disorders among refugees and identifying strategies to facilitate more timely identification and treatment of refugees with sickle cell disease.

Researchers develop stem cell-based model to study neuron resilience and vulnerability in ALS

Researchers at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden have developed a stem cell-based model in order to study the resilience and vulnerability of neurons in the neurodegenerative disease ALS.

British teenager with life-threatening infection successfully treated with phage therapy

Doctors report success after treating a British teenager with bacteriophages. The case study is a step forward in the fight against antibiotic resistance.

Light therapy may dramatically reduce neurodegeneration in Alzheimer’s disease

Researchers at MIT have found that light therapy can enhance synaptic function and protect against cell death in Alzheimer’s disease.

Promising radioisotope couple for cancer diagnosis and therapy

Researchers at Kanazawa University report in ACS Omega a promising combination of radioisotope-carrying molecules for use in radiotheranostics — a diagnosis-and-treatment approach based on the combination of medical imaging and internal radiation therapy with radioactive elements.

Biomarker may help identify prostate cancer patients at increased risk of metastasis

For about 90 percent of men with prostate cancer, the cancer remains localized to the primary site, resulting in a five-year survival rate of almost 100 percent.

Purdue researchers develop new way to view and classify protein 3D shapes

Proteins can provide a detailed look inside the human body and how it protects itself from many diseases. Proteins, which make up about 15% of body mass, are the most abundant solid substances in the human body.

Small molecule drug may help overcome ibrutinib resistance in mantle cell lymphona

A study at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center demonstrated how a small molecule drug discovered at the institution may help overcome resistance to treatment with ibrutinib in patients with mantle cell lymphoma.

Study confirms QT-prolonging effects of grapefruit juice

Grapefruit juice is already listed as a substance to avoid when taking QT-prolonging medications because it increases the toxicity of many drugs.

New research defines the chain of molecular events that goes awry in sepsis

Sepsis is a medical condition that few patients have heard of and most doctors dread. The body's response to attack by bacteria can trigger a cascade of cellular self-destruction that inadvertently causes blood clots, multi-organ failure, and death.

Genomics study reveals five genes linked to treatment resistance in prostate cancer

A new genomics study has found that men are three times more likely to die from prostate cancer if they possess mutations the retinoblastoma 1 (RB1) gene.

Researchers identify genetic component involved in development of familial sarcoidosis

Working with their colleagues from the University of Lyon, researchers from MedUni Vienna's Center for Pathobiochemistry and Genetics have discovered mutations in genes that regulate the metabolic sensor mTOR in patients with familial sarcoidosis.

Inhibition of ribosome biogenesis as new treatment strategy for advanced cancers

Nearly ninety per cent of all cancer patient deaths are due to metastasis. A study from Uppsala University shows that a process that allows the cells to metastasize is aided by the synthesis of new ribosomes, the cell components in which proteins are produced.

Cell's cytoskeleton aids in energy transfer and information processing within neurons, study finds

Dysfunctions and malformations in the scaffold of a cell are thought to contribute to heart muscle weakness, neurodegenerative disease and even deafness.

Human iPSCs make more tiny 'cargo packets' to deliver cellular aging therapies

Johns Hopkins scientists report that adult cells reprogrammed to become primitive stem cells, called induced pluripotent stem cells, make tiny "cargo packets" able to deliver potentially restorative or repairing proteins, antibodies or other therapies to aged cells.
