Living cells are ready for their close-ups, thanks to a new imaging technique that needs no dyes or other chemicals, yet renders high-resolution, three-dimensional, quantitative imagery of cells and their internal structures – all ...
Fluxion Biosciences, Inc. announced the release of a new reagent kit for the IsoFlux System designed to provide more options for circulating tumor cell (CTC) and other rare cell capture from biological samples. The IsoFlux Rare Cell ...
What is ETMR/ETANTR and who does it affect? Embryonal tumours with multilayered rosettes (ETMR) are rare, deadly brain tumours that affect mainly children below the age of 4 years. There are 300 cases reported but probably there are many ...
Northstar Global Business Services, Inc., Symbol (OTCPink: MDIN) today announced that it has plans to begin manufacturing a new advanced formula nutrition bar based on it's highly rated workout supplement, Stem-Intense. The product, aptly ...

Signals Potential of Newborn Stem Cells in Regenerative Medicine for Common Disorders Cord Blood Registry® (CBR®), the world's largest and most experienced newborn stem cell company, announces the start of a U.S. Food and Drug ...
By Eleanor McDermid, Senior medwireNews Reporter An RNA sequencing study of patients with bipolar disorder has shown altered expression of genes and transcripts, including those involved in neuroplasticity and circadian rhythms. Nirmala ...
Breast cancer stem cells exist in two different states and each state plays a role in how cancer spreads, according to an international collaboration of researchers. Their finding sheds new light on the process that makes cancer a deadly ...
Findings of a preliminary study published in The Lancet Respiratory Medicine suggest that a patient's own bone-marrow stromal (stem) cells could be used to treat multidrug-resistant (MDR) and extensively-drug (XDR) tuberculosis (TB). ...

A patient's own bone marrow stem cells might someday be used to treat multidrug-resistant tuberculosis, a new study suggests. The phase 1 study to assess the safety of the treatment included 30 patients, aged 21 to 65, with ...
Bisphenol A (BPA), a chemical used to harden plastics, has been used since the 1960s to make a number of consumer goods such as bottles and cans. In the past several years, potential health risks associated with the chemical have come to ...
A study with mice suggests that exposure in the womb to the plastics chemical bisphenol A (BPA) could put males at greater risk for prostate cancer later in life. The findings are early, however, and can't prove a causal link between BPA ...
