Once a mother gives birth, the umbilical cord and remaining blood are often discarded. However, this blood also contains stem cells from the fetus. Umbilical cord blood can be harvested and the embryonic stem cells grown in culture. Unlike embryonic stem cells from earlier in development, fetal ...
Physicians and scientists at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center used new stem cell technology to regenerate and study living patient-specific skin in the lab, giving them a precise close up view of how inherited DNA defects cause skin damage a
The foundation of a drug holiday is despite the 11.2 year half-life of oral bisphosphonates, bone marrow stem cells and osteoclast precursors have the ability to regenerate to sufficient numbers to remodel and renew bone during the healing process. However, an effective drug holiday is not ...
Professor Norman Maitland, from the Department of Biology at the University of York, said: "The strong response we observed was due to the powerful cellular function called Notch. It was present in both normal and cancer cells and it's how a cell population can regenerate itself after radiothe...
Collagen is found in the dermis and is the most abundant protein in the skin, making up 75% of this organ. Often referred to as the "fountain of youth," collagen wards offwrinklesand fine lines. Over time, environmental factors (such as air pollution) and aging diminish your body's abil...
