An advanced medical model enables the possibility to regenerate a bladder using stem cells that can be extracted from the patient’s bone marrow. This has recently been discovered by scientists from the United States. The progress in using a patient’s bone marrow stem cell is producing an unfolding scope for organ replacement therapies. Arun Sharma, [...]

The discovery of the HeLa cell line has promoted remarkable biomedical research. It has contributed to the development of polio vaccine and even vitro fertilization. The indefinite force of these cells is present in the cell’s potential to proliferate and grow indefinitely. The fascinating thing is that few people know that these cells originally came [...]

Some researchers at the Harvard Medical School has found a way to turn-back the aging process in mice. They are now trying to enhance the therapy so that it can be applied for human as well. The lead author of the study Ronald DePinho and with his team of Harvard researchers has been able to [...]

Does rejuvenation really exist? In fact, in nature rejuvenation does occur through reproduction. This is a premier; at CNRS in France a group of scientists from the Laboratoire de Biologie Moleculaire de la Cellule was successfully able to study how C.elegans worm had an instant ‘rejuvenation’ occurring to its oocytes prior to fertilization. The research [...]

Recently, a baby boy was born by using an embryo that was frozen 20 years ago. This is, however, causing ethical dilemmas concerning inter-generation‘adoption’ With advancing medical technology, freezing and preserving embryos for fertility treatment in women is increasingly common. The ability to freeze embryos helps women to try several cycles without having to develop [...]

Researchers from UK are saying that gene research can help to predict whether women will have an early menopause or not. Roughly, 5 percent of women have their menopause prior to the age of 46 years. Early menopause has some negative effects on a woman’s ability to conceive even 10 years before reaching that age. [...]

When medical scientists use a scaffold and their patient’s own cells produced in a lab, they have been busy generating after market – so to speak – body parts. Surgeons will eventually be able to transplant these substitute parts of a body on a habitual basis directly from the laboratory. Anthony Atala is currently employed [...]

A bioscience investigation conducted by scientists from the University of California, Berkeley, has recognized vital biochemical connections associated with human muscle senescence. When researchers asserted control over these connective pathways they actually reversed the clock on older human muscle tissue and rejuvenated its innate capability to mend and restore itself. Their discoveries will be published [...]

Recently, the National Institutes of Health stated that it had given approval for thirteen new human embryonic stem cell lines to be used by the researchers who are being researchers financed federally, with ninety-six extra under review. The action is a result of President Obama’s decision to develop the number of such cell lines further [...]

A Klatch of proteins to siphon molecules transversely via cell membranes could assist in understanding why yeast cells and possibly other living matter, are unable to continue creating duplicates of themselves ad infinitum. These similar proteins likewise may explain the link with cancer and stem cell replication. Much like our own cells, yeast cells have [...]
