Scientists at Oregon Health and Science University have discovered that cells generate steady internal fluid currents, dubbed ...

The special abilities of embryonic stem cells can today be used in multiple "grown-up" cells (e.g. skin and hair cells). This is done by reprogramming the cells and converting them to "induced ...

THAT serous fluids from patients suspected of having malignant tumors may yield information of considerable diagnostic value has been established for many years, and in 1917 Mandelbaum 1 devised a ...

Amniotic Fluid-Derived Stem Cells Are Highly Amenable to Reprogramming Amniotic fluid represents an abundant source of multipotent stem cells, which are currently being explored, as a versatile cell ...

High hopes rest on stem cells: one day, they may be used to treat many diseases. To date, embryos are the main source of these cells, but this raises ethical problems. Scientists have now managed to ...

Scientists have created miniorgans from cells floating in the fluid that surrounds a fetus in the womb – an advance they believe could open up new areas of prenatal medicine. Miniorgans, or “ ...

Based on cells’ ability to respond to physical stimuli, a team of researchers hypothesized that extracellular fluid viscosity (which varies under physiological and pathological conditions, such as ...
