Reprogrammed Skin Cells Bring Promise of Insulin Independence for Diabetics
Diabetes researchers have used sophisticated cell culture techniques to transform skin fibroblasts into pluripotent stem cells, which were then induced to differentiate into insulin producing islet-like cells. More...29 Sep 2008
Enzyme That Slows Colon Cancer Found to Promote Lethal Form of Leukemia
Cancer researchers have found that the enzyme glycogen synthase kinase 3, a multifunctional serine/threonine kinase that participates in numerous signaling pathways, promotes the growth of a lethal form of leukemia. More...23 Sep 2008
Overcoming Immune Tolerance Requires an Enzyme that Eliminates LPS
During the period of immune tolerance induced by the host's response to bacterial infection the individual is highly susceptible to further infection until immune system function is reset by elimination of residual lipopolysaccharide endotoxin. More...23 Sep 2008
