29.04.2011With the help of genetic engineering, no more than twenty induced pluripotent stem cells can be obtained from one hundred thousand adult cells. The use of microRNAs allowed to increase this figure to about 10,000.
13.04.2011Japanese researchers have reproduced the development of the eye outside of a living organism. The culture of embryonic cells formed a three–dimensional structure - an eye glass, one of the last stages of eye development in mammalian embryos.
08.04.2011Artificial insemination of experimental mice with the obtained spermatozoa led to the birth of mice of both sexes, which themselves were able to produce offspring.
24.03.2011Trachea and bronchi affected by a tumor, specialists of the Russian Research Center named after Blokhin was replaced with a bioimplant grown using a special technology using the patient's own cells.
17.03.2011The possibility of growing "in vitro" one of the types of neurons that die first in Alzheimer's disease will allow us to study the causes of the disease, facilitate the creation of drugs, and in the future will make it possible to replace lost neurons with new ones.
11.03.2011Six years after transplantation, urethras (urinary ducts) grown from cells isolated from the mucous membrane of the bladders function normally and allow five boys to lead a normal lifestyle.
09.03.2011Judging by the speed with which the field of cellular technologies is developing, the clinical application of induced pluripotent cells for the treatment of many diseases, transplantation of tissues and organs, as well as rejuvenation of the body is looming on the horizon.
21.02.2011Researchers from the Center for Developmental Biology at the RIKEN Institute have found a gene responsible for the transformation of embryonic stem cells into neurons.
17.02.2011Induced pluripotent stem cells retain a genetic memory of their origin. This problem has been solved in mouse iPSCs, but reprogrammed human cells are not yet amenable to attempts to make them forget what they were before.
11.02.2011Human pluripotent cells, both embryonic and induced, are prone to the accumulation of genetic disorders. Researchers have not been able to determine at what point subchromosomal disorders appear in cells
11.02.2011Semi-finished vessels grown with the help of donor cells can solve the problem of the lack of transplants, which doctors often face when various surgical interventions are necessary.
04.02.2011About cooking, tissue engineering and plastic surgery.
04.02.2011Methods of creating induced pluripotent stem cells are becoming increasingly safe. What is even more interesting, the process of reprogramming cells can be carried out directly, bypassing the "embryonic" stage.
03.02.2011The only method of treating familial colon adenomatosis is amputation of the entire colon. The new method of cell therapy allows to preserve the rectum, which significantly improves the quality of life of patients.
27.01.2011Scientists at Rice University and Baylor College of Medicine have solved one of the main problems of tissue engineering. They have found a way to grow blood vessels, including capillaries, necessary to maintain tissue life.
14.01.2011Transplantation of bone marrow stem cells improved the condition of 48 patients for whom doctors did not find a donor liver for transplantation.
14.01.2011For the first time in Russia, a trachea was transplanted to a patient, "assembled" from a donor "frame" and her own cells, from which all tissues will subsequently grow.
24.12.2010A 69-year-old woman was cured of leukemia by cord blood stem cells.
20.12.2010Officials, hiding behind concern for deceived patients, have prepared a new law in which specialists are not satisfied with everything, starting with the title: "On biomedical cell technologies."
