Embryo stem cells created from skin cells
This work has significant implications for modeling embryonic disease and placental dysfunctions, as well as paving the way to create whole embryos from skin cells
Targeting key gene could help lead to Down Syndrome treatment
Team uses stem cell-based disease models to pinpoint gene linked to impaired memory in Down syndrome
Stem cells make more ‘cargo’ packets to carry cellular aging therapies
iPSCs may one day be best suited for delivering treatments for cellular aging-related diseases such as progeria and ALS (or Lou Gehrig’s disease)
Messenger cells bring good news for bone healing
Scientists proposed a model for how mammals repair large bone injuries, and identified key cell types essential to the healing process
All immature cells can develop into stem cells
The new knowledge may make it easier to manipulate stem cells for stem cell therapy
