10-05-14 Tissue engineering has long held promise for building new organs to replace damaged livers, blood vessels(血管) and other body parts. However, one major obstacle is getting cells grown in a lab dish to form 3-D shapes instead of flat layers. Resea...
10-05-07 Stem cells derived from the endometrium ( uterine lining子宫内膜 ) and transplanted into the brains of laboratory mice with Parkinson's disease appear to restore functioning of brain cells damaged by the disease, according to a new study by Yale Sch...
10-05-03 Researchers from the University of Leeds, UK, the Charit University Medical School and the Max Delbrck Centre for Molecular Medicine (MDC) in Berlin, Germany, have discovered a new driving force behind cancer growth. Their studies have identified ho...
10-04-25 Scientists have developed a new computational model to uncover gene regulation, the key to how our body develops and how it can go wrong. The researchers, from The University of Manchester (UK), Aalto University (Finland) and the European Molecular...
10-04-14 In an electrifying(令人振奋的,惊人的) first, Stanford scientists have plugged in to(对很感兴趣) algae(海藻) cells and harnessed a tiny electric current. They found it at the very source of energy production photosynthesis(光合作用) , a plan...

10-04-12 In a step towards a possible treatment for Huntington's disease, scientists at Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University have shown for the first time that the accumulation of a mutated(变化,突变) protein may explain damaging cell...
10-04-12 Using a sensor that weighs cells with unprecedented(空前的) precision, MIT and Harvard researchers have measured the rate at which single cells accumulate(积攒,累积) mass a feat(功绩,壮举) that could shed light on how cells control their gro...
10-03-22 Scientists at Duke University Medical Center have identified a new growth factor that stimulates(刺激,鼓励) the expansion and regeneration of hematopoietic(生血的,造血的) (blood-forming) stem cells in culture and in laboratory animals. The dis...
10-02-08 Using an elaborate(精心制作的) sleuthing(侦查) system they developed to probe how cells manage their own division, Johns Hopkins scientists have discovered that common but hard-to-see sugar switches are partly in control. Because these previousl...
