HONG KONG (Reuters) - Scientists in Japan said on Wednesday they have created teeth -- complete with connective fibers and bones -- by using mouse stem cells and successfully transplanted them into mice, a step
“Stem cells from teeth have great potential to grow into new brain or nerve cells, and this could potentially assist with treatments of brain disorders, such as stroke,” says Dr Kylie Ellis, Commercial Development Manager with the University’s commercial arm, Adelaide Research & Innovation (AR...
Two steps were key to transforming regular bovine muscle stem cells into the immortalized bovine muscle stem cells. Most cells, as they divide and age, begin to lose DNA at the ends of their chromosomes, which are called telomeres, like worn ropes that get frayed with use. This can lead t...
Will Humans One Day Regrow Lost Teeth? More Wilfredo Lee|AP The key to keeping a sparkling set of pearly whites might lie with patients that dentists won't have any interest in seeing—alligators. An alligator can regenerate a lost tooth up to 50 times. In what must come as good news...
Progenitor cells in other articular cartilage types: Origin and function of cartilage stem/progenitor cells in osteoarthritis. "Articular cartilage is a physiologically non-self-renewing avascular tissue with a singular cell type, the chondrocyte, which functions as the load-bearing surface of the arthr...
The researchers then coax these engineered stem cells to transform into liver cells and grow the cells in a special spherical bioreactor, called Tissue Orb. This globular reactor has a central conduit mimicking a blood vessel at its center. Nurturing organoids with this kind of circ...
To create the sweat-producing, hair-growing skin samples, the research team started by extracting a batch of cells from the gums of mice. After using a mixture of chemicals to turn the derived gum cells into something similar to stem cells, they then developed a fully functioning, three-laye...
case, and will have to stay with it longer to maintain their gains and keep growing hair. But, I know that any man in this position will be glad to make this small sacrifice if he gets his hair back. I think of it as a daily personal grooming function, like BRUSHING MY TEETH. ...
While Klein is growing teeth, his colleagues are growing tissues that make up the face, or muscle, or salivary glands.X Klein's work to generate teeth is inspired by his patients with ectodermal dysplasia, a congenital disorder characterized by a lack of sweat glands, hair, or teeth. Being...
How do you create a trachea from stem cells? It's a long process. We will need to know exactly what the [three dimensions] of the trachea are that the patient requires. Then we need to calculate how many cells we would need for seeding the trachea with the patient's own stem cells...
