While studying the progression of healthy cells into cancerous ones, researchers discover a way to engraft human blood cells into animals.
Human Mesenchymal Stem Cells Differentiate in the Lab
Ricki Lewis | Apr 11, 1999 | 5 min read
While prominent scientists plead with legislators to reconsider their conservative stance on funding human embryonic stem (ES) cell research, a six-year-old company in Baltimore is quietly making the matter moot. In a just-released tour-de-force research report, it is no longer quite so quiet.1 Researchers at Osiris Therapeutics and the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine coaxed human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) from adults' bone marrow to develop into cartilage, fat, and bone cells
Telomeres in Disease
Rodrigo Calado and Neal Young | May 1, 2012 | 10+ min read
Telomeres have been linked to numerous diseases over the years, but how exactly short telomeres cause diseases and how medicine can prevent telomere erosion are still up for debate.
Going Their Separate Ways: A Profile of Products for Cell Separation
Michelle Vettese-dadey | Sep 12, 1999 | 10+ min read
Date: September 13, 1999Cell Separation Products Magnetic Cell Separation Technologies that isolate rare cell types to high purity are essential to the cell biology researcher. Understanding cell developmental pathways becomes increasingly significant as diagnosis and treatment of disease turns more to the molecular level.1 This diagnosis of cell-related diseases requires methods for detection, isolation, and analysis of individual cells regardless of their frequency.2 The hematopoietic system
The Little Cell That Could
Megan Scudellari | Jul 1, 2012 | 7 min read
Critics point out that cell therapy has yet to top existing treatments. Biotech companies are setting out to change that—and prove that the technology can revolutionize medicine.
Embryonic Stem Cells Debut Amid Little Media Attention
Ricki Lewis | Sep 28, 1997 | 8 min read
STARTING POINT: Johns Hopkins' John Gearhart announced at a July meeting that he and a colleague had cultured human embryonic stem cells. Last July, with repercussions from Scottish sheep clone Dolly yet to die down, came news of potentially even greater importance. At the 13th International Congress of Developmental Biology in Snowbird, Utah, held the week of July 12, John Gearhart, a professor of gynecology and obstetrics at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in Baltimore, reported
