Cancerous stem cells researched
Moldova.org Fri, 21 Dec 2007 5:15 PM PST
Researchers at three U.S. medical centers are testing a cancer drug under the theory that some cancers are fed by cancerous stem cells.The researchers said cancerous stem cells are aberrant cells that maintain and propagate malignant tumors. The stem cells may be impervious to most standard cancer therapies, The New York Times said Friday.While critics say the stem cell enthusiasts are heading ... |
Stem cells lines that avoid immune rejection created
ANI via Yahoo! India News Fri, 21 Dec 2007 1:40 AM PST
Washington, Dec 21 (ANI): Scientists have advancement in stem cell studies by creating human embryonic stem cell lines that avoid immune rejection in large segments of the population. The stem cell lines are "HLA-homozygous," meaning that they have a simple genetic profile in the critical areas of the DNA that code for immune rejection. According to scientists from International Stem ... |
