MRC scientists regrow liver from liver stem cells

21 July 2015 | By Victoria White

Medical Research Council (MRC) scientists have repaired a damaged liver in a mouse by transplanting liver stem cells grown in the laboratory...

New lung cells are continuously created to replace the damaged ones: Lung tissue six weeks after stem cell transplantation (left) and 16 weeks after transplantation (right). Cells that originated in the transplanted stem cells are green, as opposed to the uncolored host lung cells. Photon-2 microscope image. CREDIT: Weizmann Institute of Science

Investigation of venom use in stem cell differentiation

16 June 2015 | By Ginika J Jideofor (Cranfield Institute of Health), Jeff D. Newman (Cranfield Institute of Health)

Stem cells differentiate to form more than 200 specialised cells, including erythroid bodies, haematopoietic cells, myogenic cells, neural cells, signalling cells and structural cells, such as hepatocytes. Differentiation of stem cells triggers a number of variable changes in the cell, such as membrane potential, responsiveness to signal, metabolic activities, and…
