17.06.2010TV producer and TV presenter Kirill Nabutov will present his new documentary "The Golden Cage" on June 6 at 17.20 on Channel One.
03.06.2010Anthony Atala, a man who grew a bladder from a patient's own cells for the first time in the world, tells and shows how a heart is printed on a printer and other organs are made for transplantation.
03.06.2010The amniotic membrane – the germ shell, which sometimes sticks to the body of children "born in a shirt", turned out to be another source of ethical, universal and sufficiently accessible stem cells.
02.06.2010The developers are testing on animal models the possibility of retinal transplantation grown from human embryonic stem cells, and hope to conduct clinical trials.
28.05.2010The new technique will allow new teeth to be grown in place of lost teeth, not only looking good and performing their functions, but also, possibly, not wearing out throughout life.
27.05.2010Full-fledged neurons can be obtained from astrocytes (structural nerve cells) directly in the brain of a person who has suffered a traumatic brain injury or stroke. Perhaps the same technology can be used to treat Parkinsonism.
20.05.2010V.I. Seledtsov, Professor, MD: "Once again I read that stem cells killed another cultural figure. The situation is getting close to hysteria."
19.05.2010The material for the future artificial organ is living cells encapsulated in polymer cubes, from which, as in a children's designer, three-dimensional structures are assembled.
17.05.2010Telomere elongation and genomic stability of embryonic stem cells are regulated by the Zscan4 protein, whose structure includes the zinc finger and SCAN domains.
17.05.2010The epithelial cells of the inner surface of the uterus, when implanted into the brain, differentiate into dopamine-producing neurons. The endometrium is the most accessible source of stem cells suitable for the treatment of not only Parkinsonism, but also many other diseases.

07.05.2010Academician Igor Volotovsky: "I am convinced that in 10 years stem cells will be used as widely as blood transfusion."
07.05.2010So far, stem cell treatment has the status of clinical trials. This is an experiment, so their treatment is free. Those who suffer from diseases with which research is conducted in official centers of cell therapy can get into the experiment.
15.04.2010It is possible to avoid using animals in laboratory experiments: Israeli scientists have shown that it is possible to grow full-fledged skin, as well as bone, fat and muscle tissue from stem cells.
14.04.2010One of the "zinc finger proteins", Zscan4, rejuvenates dividing embryonic cells, restoring their telomeres to their original length. This makes embryonic stem cells eternally young and immortal.
26.03.2010For "cellular mesotherapy", his own (autologous) fibroblasts are isolated and cultured from a tiny fragment of the patient's skin. After a series of injections of living cells, the microstructure and appearance of the skin noticeably and permanently improve.
