Daley and colleagues create 20 disease-specific stem cell lines
EurekAlert! Thu, 07 Aug 2008 9:11 AM PDT
Boston, Mass, Aug. 7, 2008 – Harvard Stem Cell Institute researcher George Q. Daley, MD, PhD, also associate director of the Stem Cell Program at Children's Hospital Boston, and HSCI colleagues Konrad Hochedlinger and Chad Cowan have produced a robust new collection of disease-specific stem cell lines, all of which were developed using the new induced pluripotent stem cell (iPS) technique. |
Scientists replicate diseases in the lab with new stem cell lines
EurekAlert! Thu, 07 Aug 2008 9:10 AM PDT
A set of new stem cell lines will make it possible for researchers to explore ten different genetic disorders—including muscular dystrophy, juvenile diabetes, and Parkinson's disease—in a variety of cell and tissue types as they develop in laboratory cultures. |
Putting microRNAs on the stem cell map
EurekAlert! Thu, 07 Aug 2008 9:10 AM PDT
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (August 7, 2008) – Embryonic stem cells are always facing a choice—either to self-renew or begin morphing into another type of cell altogether. |

US researchers have found a way to produce immortal cell strains and tissue types from diseased patients by converting their cells into pluripotent stem cells with the same genetic errors. |
Putting microRNAs on the stem cell map
PhysOrg Thu, 07 Aug 2008 11:58 AM PDT
Embryonic stem cells are always facing a choice—either to self-renew or begin morphing into another type of cell altogether. It's a tricky choice, governed by complex gene regulatory circuitry driven by a handful of key regulators known as "master transcription factors," proteins that switch gene expression on or off. |
Putting MicroRNAs on the Stem Cell Map
Newswise Thu, 07 Aug 2008 9:27 AM PDT
Short snippets of RNA called microRNAs help to keep embryonic stem cells in their stem cell state. Researchers now have discovered the gene circuitry that controls microRNAs in embryonic stem cells. Mapping the control circuitry of stem cells reveals how they maintain themselves or decide to differentiate, providing key clues for regenerative medicine and reprogramming of adult cells to a stem ... |
