British scientists are on course to become the first to create synthetic human blood from embryonic stem cells, it emerged today. tags british scientists synthetic blood stem cellThe ground-breaking project could provide an unlimited supply of blood for emergency transfusions free of the risk of infection. Because stem cells multiply indefinitely, it would be possible to make enormous quantities, researchers said. picked by AutumnLotus 8 months ago |

For the first time in the world scientists have succeeded in developing human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) from a single cell, or blastomere, of a 4-cell stage embryo. This means it might be possible in the future to produce hESC lines at an earlier stage without destroying the embryo. picked by AutumnLotus 1 year ago 0 comments edit related share science |

The blood that is shed during menstruation by women can become a good source of stem cells that can be used to create numerous types of human cells. Scientists managed to grow nine different types of cells, including heart, liver and lung cells. picked by maxriter 2 years ago 0 comments edit related share science |

British scientists have made the biggest breakthrough for more than 15 years in the fight against Alzheimer's. 5 comments edit related share scienceIt could cut the rate of new cases by a fifth - 100,000 a year in the UK alone. British and French teams have identified rogue genes responsible for one in five cases of the disease. The search is now on for drugs to combat them. picked by Bingo 3 months ago |

Menstrual blood can be used to repair heart damage, Japanese researchers said today. Scientists obtained menstrual blood from nine women and cultivated it for about a month, focusing on a kind of cell that can act like stem cells. Some 20 per cent of the cells began beating spontaneously about three days after being put together in vitro with cells from the hearts of rats. picked by AutumnLotus 2 years ago 5 comments edit related share science |

Globs of human fat removed during liposuction conceal versatile cells that are more quickly and easily coaxed to become induced pluripotent stem cells, or iPS cells, than are the skin cells most often used by researchers, according to a new study from Stanford's School of Medicine. picked by Bingo 3 months ago 0 comments edit related share plime.com |

Researchers at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute have shown that they can engineer mouse and human cells to produce brown fat, a natural energy-burning type of fat that counteracts obesity. If such a strategy can be developed for use in people, the scientists say, it could open a novel approach to treating obesity and diabetes. picked by AutumnLotus 4 months ago 1 comments edit related share science |

Using stem cells, scientists were able to grow completely new prostate glands in mice. The prostate is a gland that aids in creating and expelling semen, and is often the cause of cancer in older men. But now that researchers can grow prostates in mice, will doctors be regrowing human prostates any time soon? picked by suebe 1 year ago 4 comments edit related share science |
