KANSAS CITY, MO. — Nine months ago, Missouri voters became the first in the nation to pass a constitutional amendment protecting embryonic stem cell research. Mechanism Discovered In Adult Stem Cell Regulation Science Daily Wed, 01 Aug 2007 9:05 AM PDT Scientists have discovered an important mechanism for controlling the behavior of adult stem cells. Research with the flatworm, planaria, found a novel role for the proteins involved in cell-to-cell communication. This work has the potential to help scientists understand the nature of the messages that control stem cell regulation -- such as the message that maintain and tells a stem cell to ...
