A spray against the cold

The most widespread disease in the world can be defeated through a spray that will take advantage of the antibodies and the protein Trim 21, through which it will recover within a few hours. A team of researchers from the Laboratory of Molecular Biology, University of Cambridge has discovered a way to beat the cold. [...]

Stem cells to rebuild damaged knee joints

If the trials will bring real benefits, thanks to the stem cells will be possible to reconstruct an entire articular cartilage. Stem cells are the possible means to “build”, once implemented, new cell lines that will replace the damaged joints. It follows from some scientific studies presented this afternoon at the regional congress in Taormina [...]

The new frontiers of control of cell differentiation

In recent articles, talking about possible treatments for the cellular rejuvenation, we mentioned the IPSC, The cells stem induced pluripotent. Let’s go into that, also talking about the latest developments that are taking in this field. Rejuvenate cells: The IPSC are not stem or embryonic stem mature, but are accessible through the reprogramming of mature [...]

Resumed testing of stem cells against the SLA

If the trials will bring real benefits, thanks to the stem cells will be possible to reconstruct an entire articular cartilage. Will resume in the coming weeks how to start the testing of stem cells of the human brain for a possible treatment for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. The impetus for the research, says Angelo Vescovi, [...]

Assisted fertilization most effective and safest

A new type of analysis pre-implantation embryos can afford to triple in the success of assisted reproduction. Researchers from the Clinical Care of Manchester have developed a new technique of pre-implantation analysis that will detect the presence or absence of genetic abnormalities in embryos. This new technique will allow to double or even triple, the [...]

Including the mechanism of cell division

Thanks to the study of an amoeba was discovered that the 14-3-3 protein is responsible for the regulation of mitosis, this will allow you to refine the mechanisms of cell division. Researchers at Johns Hopkins have identified the protein responsible for the dynamics of cell division. The 14-3-3 protein allows the cell, which started the [...]

A transplant to treat encephalopathy

In a young patient has been transplanted bone marrow donated by his brother to treat a serious disease known as mitochondrial neuro-gastrointestinal encephalopathy. Transplantation and Cellular Therapy Center at the University Hospital of Scotte di Siena, in collaboration with the section with rare neurological disorders and diseases neurometabolic Neurology, was used bone marrow transplant to [...]
