CURRENT STEM CELL NEWS 1. A key signaling molecules that makes brain stem cells sleep identified
Scientists from the Salk Institute for Biological Studies have identified the key signaling molecule that helps to keep the brain stem cells in a quiescent state to ensure that a pool of neural stem cells last for a life time. When the signaling molecule is blocked by a protein the brain stem cells wake up and start dividing. Click to read more... 2. The greatest breakthrough against HIV: Immune cells created in mice that resist HIV infection In the continuing battle against HIV infection a team of scientists have created immune cells in mice that are able to resist the HIV infection. The study was released on July 2 in Nature Biotechnology. Click to read more... Researchers at Whitehead institute have for the first time reprogrammed Cells from frozen human blood samples to an embryonic-stem-cell-like state (the Induced Pluripotent stem Cells (iPS)), and this research will help to study the genetic and molecular mechanisms of blood disorders and other diseases. Click to read more... According to a new study by researchers in Ottawa and Toronto Mesenchymal stem cells present in bone marrow may be able to help treat sepsis, a deadly condition that can occur when an infection spreads throughout the body. Click to read more... Scientists from the University of Wisconsin-Madison has identified a single gene that seems to be the master regulator of human brain development, guiding the undifferentiated stem cells through defined pathways to differentiate into the many types of cells that form the brain.

Preliminary findings from studies conducted in 21 patients with periodontal disease by researchers at the William Soler Paediatric Hospital in Havana in close collaboration with the Institute of Hematology and Immunology reveals that stem cells reduce the gingival inflammation and can be used to treat periodontal diseases. Click to read more... Researchers from University of Pennsylvania, School of Veterinary Medicine have identified a mechanism that regulates stem-cell differentiation in mice testes and this is important because understanding the mechanisms that regulate stem-cell differentiation will be helpful for devising treatments for degenerative diseases.

Italian Scientists have proclaimed to the world the results of their study that adult stem cells have helped in restoring full or partial vision to many blind people adding that it is only adult stem cells that have helped so far in treating many patients in the world and not the embryonic stem cells. Click to read more... Scientists have identified that Stem cell therapy could be a viable alternative to highly invasive surgical procedures for treating ligament damage and results from the Current medical treatments for ligament damage involving stem cells being carried out throughout the world have shown promising success rates.

Really???
1. Linus Pauling is the only person to have been awarded two unshared Nobel Prizes - the 1954 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his research into the nature of the chemical bond and its application to the elucidation of the structure of complex substances. and the 1962 Nobel Peace Prize for his tremendous contribution to the campaign against nuclear weapons
2. It is a fact that a cockroach can live for 9 days without its head before it starves to death
