Scientists produce eye structures from human blood-derived stem cells

ScienceDaily (Mar. 13, 2012) For the first time, scientists at the University of Wisconsin-Madison have made early retina structures containing proliferating neuroretinal progenitor cells using induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells derived from human blood. And in another advance, the retina structures showed the capacity to form layers of cells as the retina does in normal human development and these cells possessed the machinery that could allow them to communicate information.

Genetic make-up determines whether we die from anthrax exposure

By Daily Mail Reporter Last updated at 3:15 PM on 17th February 2012 Created 5:25 PM on 6th February 2012 Bio-hazard: Scientists found three out of 234 people were virtually insensitive to the anthrax toxin. They said this could have implications for other pathogens like HIV Some people have a natural genetic resistance to anthrax, according to scientists. Research into anthrax found susceptibility to the deadly disease caused by the bacterium Bacillus anthracis varied from person to person – revealing that susceptibility to the toxin is a heritable genetic trait Continue reading →
