A Better Way to Make Pluripotent Cells From Liver Cells

Posted on April 23, 2012 by Kristine Novak, PhD, Science Editor

Researchers have identified an efficient method for creating pluripotent stem cells from differentiated liver cells, according to the April issue of Gastroenterology. This technology could lead to new methods for therapeutic regeneration of diseased or damaged tissues. Embryonic stem cells … Continue reading →

Stem Cells Account for Different Fates of Adenomatous and Hyperplastic Polyps

Posted on September 23, 2011 by Kristine Novak, PhD, Science Editor

Adenomatous polyps expand the pool of colon stem cells to become malignant, whereas hyperplastic polyps (HPPs) do not, and therefore remain benign, according to a study published in the September issue of Gastroenterology. Many colorectal cancers arise from adenomatous polyps, … Continue reading →
