He added that because of this "very dramatic increase" in MRSA infections, physicians should learn what percenta...

Study: Well-known protein helps stem cells become secretory cells

...s, its skin-like outer layer. CrebA, or a closely related human gene, might play the same role in certain human cells, too, the researchers say. In juvenile (type I) diabetes, for example, pancreatic cells that normally produce and secrete insulin don't work, and stem cells might be able to help fix that p...

Because type 4 leprosy is more closely related to type 3 than it is to either type 1 or 2, the researchers concluded that North Africans or Europeans probably brought the disease to West Africa.
