These features make stem cells quite remarkable and different from other types Continue Reading » Social Read on »

Abstract from journal Cell on stem cells by Dr. Brian M. Medical Doctor

Posted Tue 26 Aug 2008 11:36pm in Cell: "Successful reprogramming of differentiated human somatic cells into a pluripotent state would allow creation of patient- and disease-specific stem cells. We previously reported generation of induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells, capable of germline transmission, from mouse somatic cells by transduction of four defined transcription Read on »

Stem cells “seek and destroy” cancer cells: Study by David Granovsky Posted Sun 14 Feb 2010 10:09pm Stem cells “seek and destroy” cancer cells: Study BY JULIE STEENHUYSEN, REUTERS CHICAGO (Reuters) – Genetically engineered stem cells from bone... showed the adult stem cells — a type known as mesenchymal stem cells — could home in on cancer cells and deliver a lethal protein that attacked only the cancer while sparing normal Read on »

Adult Stem Cells Also May be Cell Of Origin for Lung Cancer–UCLA Study by Medical Quack Patient Expert

BRCA1 mutations in cancer stem cells by Dr. Ramunas J. Medical Doctor

Posted Tue 16 Sep 2008 5:36am in the BRCA1 gene face up to an 85 percent lifetime risk of breast cancer. The study, in mice and in human breast cancer cells, found that BRCA1 is involved in the stem cells differentiating into other breast tissue cells. When BRCA1 is missing, the stem cells tend to accumulate unregulated and develop into cancer. Researchers detected clusters of expanded stem Read on »
