Regenerative Medicine and Stem Cells Technologies

Given the amount of wear and tear its subjected to on a daily basis, the skin has a phenomenal ability to replenish itself.

Focal adhesions are known as signalling platforms broadcasting the information of the biochemical and physical qualities of the extracellular matrix into intracellular signalling cascades. However, focal adhesions remain unstudied in the context of human pluripotent stem cells.

Scientists have discovered a unique form of cell messaging occurring in the human brain thats not been seen before.

Cancer research has made another positive stride in learning about cancer, how it works and how to hopefully improve a treatment’s effectiveness.

Research by Rice University bioscientist Aryeh Warmflash and graduate student Sapna Chhabra shows homogenous colonies of human embryonic stem cells use dynamic molecular signaling waves that pass from cell to cell and trigger them to differentiate.

Researchers from the group of Alexander van Oudenaarden at the Hubrecht Institute (KNAW) have developed GateID, a new method that can purify a cell type of interest from a tissue without the use of antibodies or a genetic reporter.

Titanium has many properties that make it a great choice for use in implants. Its low density, high stiffness, high biomechnanical strength-to-weight ratio, and corrosion resistance have led to its use in several types of implants, from dental to joints.

Although graduating from school, a first job and marriage can be important events in life, some of the most significant events happen far earlier: in the first few days after a sperm fertilizes an egg and the cell begins to divide.

We all know that food is essential to healthy development of the brain and body, especially in the earliest stages of life. But exactly how early brain growth is affected by nutrition is not as well understood, especially on a cellular level.

Testosterone levels slowly decreases with age, but can also fall suddenly as a result of illnesses such as mumps or as a result of cancer therapy during childhood. The condition, which affects millions of men, can have a negative impact on mood, sex life and health.
