In reading, a bookmark tells where you stopped. Cells use bookmarks too, specific proteins that help the cell remember what collection of genes needs to be turned on again after the brief halt of gene ...
In a groundbreaking study published today in Nature, Australian scientists have resolved a long-standing problem in regenerative medicine. Led by Professor Ryan Lister from the Harry Perkins Institute ...
Current methodologies for the detection of inducible Pluripotent Stem (iPS) reprogramming are either disruptive e.g. flow cytometry (FC) or low in throughput e.g. fluorescent microscopy (FM). Using ...
A modified version of iPS methodology, called interrupted reprogramming, allows for a highly controlled, potentially safer, and more cost-effective strategy for generating progenitor-like cells from ...
The iPS cells passed the standard barrage of tests for pluripotency, and microarray analyses demonstrated that these cells exhibited similar gene expression profiles to embryonic stem cells. The new ...
Stem cells hold tremendous potential in healthcare and research science, because they can become any type of cell. However, there were many impediments to using them. They cannot be obtained from ...
Researchers at the University of Helsinki have developed a new, faster and more reliable technique for reverting human cells to the stem cell state. Pluripotent stem cells are a key tool in ...
A joint research team led by Dr. Akira Kunitomi, a former postdoctoral fellow at CiRA (currently a researcher at the Gladstone Institute of Cardiovascular Disease), and ID Pharma Co., Ltd., has ...
Researchers from Monash University in Melbourne and The University of Western Australia have demonstrated how a reprogramming method imitates embryonic epigenetic reset. Transient naive treatment (TNT ...
