Genetic packing: Successful stem cell differentiation requires DNA compaction, study finds

Hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining of sections of wild-type (top row) and H1 triple-knockout (bottom row) embryoid bodies. After 14 days in rotary suspension culture, the wild-type embryoid bodies showed more differentiated morphologies with cysts forming (black arrows) and the knockout embryoid bodies failed to form cavities (far right) Continue reading

Can new diagnostic approaches help assess brain function in unconscious, brain-injured patients?

Public release date: 9-May-2012 [ | E-mail | Share ] Contact: Vicki Cohn vcohn@liebertpub.com 914-740-2100 Mary Ann Liebert, Inc./Genetic Engineering News New Rochelle, NY, May 9, 2012Disorders of consciousness such as coma or a vegetative state caused by severe brain injury are poorly understood and their diagnosis has relied mainly on patient responses and measures of brain activity. However, new functional and imaging-based diagnostic tests that measure communication and signaling between different brain regions may provide valuable information about the potential for consciousness in patients unable to communicate.

Immune Cell Therapy Cures Diabetic Mice, Researchers Find

By Elizabeth Lopatto – Wed May 09 18:00:00 GMT 2012 An experimental therapy that reprograms the immune system then spurs the growth of healthy insulin-producing cells reversed late-stage diabetes in mice and may lead to a cure for people, researchers said. Mice with Type 1 diabetes, a form of the disease in which the bodys immune system destroys cells that secrete insulin, were free of illness after scientists shut down the immune attack, reprogrammed the errant cells and coaxed the growth of healthy, new insulin-producers Continue reading

New muscular dystrophy treatment approach developed using human stem cells

ScienceDaily (May 4, 2012) Researchers from the University of Minnesota’s Lillehei Heart Institute have effectively treated muscular dystrophy in mice using human stem cells derived from a new process that — for the first time — makes the production of human muscle cells from stem cells efficient and effective. The research, published May 4 in Cell Stem Cell, outlines the strategy for the development of a rapidly dividing population of skeletal myogenic progenitor cells (muscle-forming cells) derived from induced pluripotent (iPS) cells. iPS cells have all of the potential of embryonic stem (ES) cells, but are derived by reprogramming skin cells. Continue reading

Naturally blond hair in Solomon Islanders rooted in native gene, Stanford study finds

Public release date: 3-May-2012 [ | E-mail | Share ] Contact: Rosanne Spector manishma@stanford.edu 650-725-5374 Stanford University Medical Center STANFORD, Calif. The common occurrence of blond hair among the dark-skinned indigenous people of the Solomon Islands is due to a homegrown genetic variant distinct from the gene that leads to blond hair in Europeans, according to a new study from the Stanford University School of Medicine. “This is one of the most beautiful examples to date of the mapping of a simple genetic trait in humans,” said David Reich, PhD, a professor of genetics at Harvard University, who was not involved in the study.

Potential for gallbladder tissue as source for multipotential stem cells

Published on April 20, 2012 at 8:37 AM A new study presented today at the International Liver Congress- 2012 indicates the potential for gallbladder tissue (which is routinely discarded from organ donors and surgical interventions) to be a highly available candidate source for multipotential stem cells. Biliary tree stem/progenitor cells (BTSCs) have previously been identified in the glands of normal adult human extrahepatic bile ducts and been shown to generate in vitro and in vivo mature cells of the hepato-biliary and pancreatic endocrine lineages Continue reading

Gene clue to post-trauma stress

2 April 2012 Last updated at 00:15 ET Susceptibility to post-traumatic stress disorder could be partially determined by gene variants, says a study. A US team looked at the DNA from 200 members of 12 families who survived the 1988 Armenian earthquake. It found those who carried two gene variants which affect the production of serotonin – which affects mood and behaviour – were more likely to display symptoms of PTSD. Continue reading

Diversity of intestinal stem cells is greater than previously thought

Tales from the crypt are supposed to be scary, but new research from Vanderbilt University, the HudsonAlpha Institute for Biotechnology and colleagues shows that crypts can be places of renewal too: intestinal crypts, that is. Intestinal crypts are small areas of the intestine where new cells are formed to continuously renew the digestive tract Continue reading
