10-09-09 Research!America today called on Congress to take legislative(立法的) action that will allow federal funding for human embryonic(胚胎的) stem cell research to proceed, in light of U.S. District Judge Royce Lamberth's refusal yesterday to lift hi...
10-09-06 Biologists at the University of California, San Diego have discovered that a gene critical for programmed cell death is also important in the loss of adult stem cells, a finding that could help to improve the health and well-being of patients underg...
10-07-28 University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine researchers have described a previously unknown biological mechanism in cells that prevents them from cannibalizing(装配) themselves for fuel. The mechanism involves the fuel used by cells under normal...
10-07-26 Patients with deadly glioblastomas(恶性胶质瘤) who received high doses of radiation that hit a portion of the brain that harbors neural stem cells had double the progression-free survival time as patients who had lower doses or no radiation target...
10-07-23 Scientists led by Dr. Heiko Lickert, research group leader at the Institute of Stem Cell Research of Helmholtz Zentrum Mnchen, have identified the first gene shown to regulate cilia(纤毛,睫毛) disassembly in a living organism. If the gene is defe...
10-07-23 When searching for long-lost treasure, sometimes all you need is a good flashlight. Such a flashlight, developed at the Marine Biological Laboratory's (MBL) Josephine Bay Paul Center, has been used to illuminate(阐明,照亮) a long-neglected cellul...
10-07-02 Researchers at Oregon State University and the California Institute of Technology have discovered that a genetic regulator which is critical to many life functions also plays a key role in the formation of T cells, a type of white blood cell that's...
10-06-25 Cytomegalovirus ( CMV巨细胞病毒) disease is a serious complication after allogeneic(同种异体的) hematopoietic(造血的) stem cell transplantation (allo-SCT), which is widely accepted as a curative(有疗效的) therapy for advanced hematological(血...
10-06-22 A team of researchers from the University of Alberta and the National Institute for Nanotechnology has extended the operating life of an unsealed plastic solar cell, from mere hours to eight months. The research groups' development of an inexpensive...
10-06-18 Following stem cell therapy, an adult patient experienced a new and previously unrecognized complication(并发症) , which required removal of one of the kidneys, according to a case report(病案报告) appearing in an upcoming issue of the Journal o...
