UQ researcher tracking key to healing the brain

...d. "This will allow us to ultimately harness its regenerative capacity to bring about new and effective treatments for conditions caused by trauma, disease, or even normal ageing." Dr Rietze's interest in neural stem cells began while he was studying zoology at the University of Calgary in Canada, and it was ...

Rensselaer researchers develop approach that predicts protein separation behavior

...lic engineering, functional tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, biocomputation and bioinformatics, and integrative systems biology - engage a multidisciplinary mix of faculty and students focused on the application of engineering and physical and information sciences to the life sciences. Ranked among t...

Researchers feed tiny pills of RNA to planarians to identify genes essential for regeneration

...tic molecular studies to find the genetic cause of regenerative processes in animals." Silencing planarian genes may also help in studying human disease. Thirty-eight of the genes Sánchez Alvarado and his team silenced are related to human genes associated with diseases, such as ataxia (inability to coordinate m...

Young Blood Revives Aging Muscles, Stanford Researchers Find

...early, something in the youthful blood revived the regenerative cells in muscle and liver. "We need to consider t...'s muscle, liver, skin or brain-is a matter of the regenerative cell's environment rather than the cells themselves. Rando said that finding the youth-promoting fa...

Breakthrough isolating embryo-quality stem cells from blood

...skin, brain or muscle. They promise a new class of regenerative medicine, which could repair apparently permanent damage such as heart disease or Parkinson's. The cells are currently taken from aborted human foetuses, an issue which has led to controversy and opposition in many parts of the world. Any alternative...

Science study holds implications for gene therapy and stem cell biology

...f stem cells. Such genes are of great interest for regenerative medicine because they can improve the prospects of stem cell-based therapies. Stem cells are very rare in the body and typically need to be multiplied for medical use. The genes that the researchers found to be marked and activated by the random inse...

Gene therapy for Parkinson's disease moves forward in animals

...t. "This work with GDNF in combination with other regenerative medicine approaches, including stem cells, promises to have a place for both protection and repair in Parkinson's disease," said Dennis Steindler, Ph.D., director of the McKnight Brain Institute and a professor of neuroscience. "It is important to ap...

Spleen may be source of versatile stem cells

...eviously regarded as playing a fairly minorrole in regenerative medicine - might contain a population of potentialislet stem cells.In their pursuit of that finding, the MGH researchers investigated thepossible presence of a protein called Hox11 in these cells. In mammals,Hox11 is a controller of key steps in embr...
