Photo: Immune cell [09/04/2013] Scientists at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have shown they can coax cells to move toward a beam of light. The feat is a first step toward manipulating cells to control insulin secretion or heart rate using light.Light: Moving Cells Holds Medical Promise - Read more

Photo: Model of bone-like cell [02/04/2013] Researchers have generated new insight on how a stem cell's environment influences its development: Whether human mesenchymal stem cells turn into fat or bone cells depends partially on how well they can "grip" the material they are growing in.Stem Cells: Development Depends On Grip - Read more

Directly in the Brain: New Nerve Cells Formed

( Source: MEDICA.de )

Photo: Brain cells [28/03/2013] The field of cell therapy, which aims to form new cells in the body in order to cure disease, has taken another important step in the development towards new treatments. A new report from researchers at Lund University in Sweden shows that it is possible to re-programme other cells to become nerve cells, directly in the brain.Directly in the Brain: New Nerve Cells Formed - Read more
