Researchers Transform Stem Cells Found In Human Fat Into Smooth Muscle Cells
Posted on 2006-07-26 08:51:11 in Clone | Stem Cell Research |
UCLA researchers have transformed adult stem cells taken from human adipose -- or fat tissue -- into smooth muscle cells, which help the normal function of a multitude of organs like the intestine, bladder and arteries. The research may help lead to use of fat stem cells for smooth muscle tissue engineering and repair. Continue reading…
Understanding Blood Vessel Growth
Posted on 2006-06-14 14:20:35 in Cardio-Vascular | Clone |
New research shows that a novel secreted protein called stromal-derived factor 1 (SDF-1) helps build new blood vessels by encouraging the migration of cells from the marrow to tissues in need of new vasculature. Investigators say SDF-1 does so independently of VEGF-A, a well-studied growth factor already known to be involved in this process. Continue reading…
The promise of stem cell research

Researchers report they have created pigs that produce omega-3 fatty acids, which are known to improve heart function and help reduce the risks for heart disease, representing the first cloned transgenic livestock in the world that can make the beneficial compound. Continue reading…
Moraga Biotechnology Corp. Discovers a Primitive Embryonic-like Stem Cell in Adult Tissues
Posted on 2006-05-02 15:09:29 in Clone | Regenerative Medicine | Stem Cell Research |
Moraga Biotechnology Corporation, an adult stem cell company based in Los Angeles, California, announces the discovery in adult tissues of a very primitive stem cell with properties that are similar to embryonic cells. The Company's scientists found that these adult stem cells were able to differentiate into most tissues and organs of the body -- including spermatogonia. These very early embryonic stem cells appear to be retained in adult tissues as "Blastomere-Like Stem Cells (BLSCs)." Continue reading…
Sleep Deprivation: The Great American Myth
Posted on 2006-05-02 14:57:07 in Clone | Sleep |
Many Americans are sleep-deprived zombies , and a quarter of us now use some form of sleeping pill or aid at night. Wake up, says psychiatry professor Daniel Kripke of the University of California, San Diego. The pill-taking is real but the refrain that Americans are sleep deprived originates largely from people funded by the drug industry or with financial interests in sleep research clinics. Continue reading…
Peering at Stem Cell Funding Again
Posted on 2006-03-29 09:52:16 in Clone | Cloning | Industry News | Stem Cell Research |
The stem cell debate brings out inexorable differences between people of different religions. But one thing the stem cell business community can agree upon is the difficulty in funding research and development. Experts discussed how to deal with the problem on Tuesday at The Stem Cell Meeting in San Francisco, a conference organized by life science venture capital and merchant banking firm Burrill & Company.

VIDEO: Brain Age Workshop
Dr. Eric Braverman, Director of The Place for Achieving Total Health (PATH Medical), Chairs the Brain Age Workshop taking place Dec. 9, 2009. Held in conjunction with the Winter Session of the 17th Annual World Congress on Anti-Aging Medicine & Regenerative Biomedical Technologies. The Brain Age Workshop features presentations on Brain Mind Assessment via Neuropsychological Analysis, Movement Deficiency Syndrome, Hormones and the Brain, Nootropic Drug Mechanisms, and Traumatic Brain Injury. View this video to learn about Dr. Braverman’s brain-based model of aging and age modulation.
