Pluripotent stem cells derived from primordial germ cells have been previously described. What is more exciting is the possibility of using adult testicular cells as a source of pluripotent stem cells. This was actually published in Nature last year (Guan et al. Pluripotency of spermatogonial stem... Taipei, Taiwan -
Valproic acid is a clinically used anti-convulsant administered for bipolar disorder and epilepsy. It also expands stem cells in vitro. In a recent paper (Lee et al. Inhibition of Histone Deacetylase on Ventricular Remodeling in Infarcted Rats. Am J Physiol Heart Circ Physiol. 2007 Mar 30) it was demonstrated that... Atlanta, USA -
Muscle satellite cells are located beneath the myofiber basal laminae (under the basement membrane surrounding each myofiber) and close to capillaries. They play a critical role in repair and turn over of muscle, acting as a supply of progenitor cells.
In a recent paper (Bondesen et al. Inhibition of myoblast migration by prostacyclin is... Rostock, Germany -
Anti-inflammatory and regenerative abilities of mesenchymal stem cells are well-known. In fact, the first non-hematopoietic clinically approved use of stem cells is most likely to occur with Osiris's mesenchymal stem cell products which are in Phase III of clinical trials.
The important question scientists have to ask themselves is what is the... Munich, Germany -
It is known that when bone marrow stem cells are injected intravenously into a recipient, the injected cells home to the recipient bone marrow because the bone marrow stroma secretes various chemoattractant factors that cause migration of cells. Along these lines, induction of tissue injury is also known to cause chemoattraction of bone marrow stem cells to the area of...

The ability of various stem cell types to be immune privileged is well known. For example, it is known that mesenchymal stem cells can act as veto cells under specific conditions.
While mesenchymal stem cells are derived usually from the bone marrow, and it would make sense for them to suppress immune...
