New clues to how SARS-CoV-2 infects cells
The molecular details of how SARS-CoV-2 enters cells and infects them are still not clear. Researchers at Uppsala University have tested the bioinformatic predictions made by another research group and have identified receptors that could be important players in the process.
Yale Scientists Unlock “Sugar Code” to Regulate in vivo and ex-vivo Blood Stem Cell Production
Yale scientists have identified a crucial biological link in the process that transforms certain complex sugars into hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells.
Brachyury engineers cardiac repair competent stem cells
To optimize the regenerative proficiency of stem cells, a cardiopoietic protein‐based cocktail consisting of multiple growth factors has been developed and advanced into clinical trials for treatment of ischemic heart failure.
Researchers discover placental stem cells that can regenerate heart after heart attack
Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have demonstrated that stem cells derived from the placenta known as Cdx2 cells can regenerate healthy heart cells after heart attacks in animal models.
