Enzyme Responsible for Skin Thickening Disorder Linked to Esophageal Cancer
A recent paper explained the molecular mechanism underlying the development of palmoplantar keratoderma (thickening of the skin on the palms of the hands and soles of the feet) in the rare genetic disease Tylosis with esophageal cancer (TOC). More...17 Feb 2017
Defects in Newly Identified Molecular Pathway Lead to Parkinson's Disease
A molecular pathway has been traced that protects dopamine producing neurons and prevents Parkinson's disease, and this finding may pave the way for development of drugs to correct defects in this pathway in individuals who have the disease. More...16 Feb 2017



Mature Heart Muscle Cells Created from Implanted Stem Cells
Bypassing a longstanding tissue culture challenge, researchers have succeeded in generating mature and viable human heart muscle cells in the laboratory by implanting, into newborn rat hearts, induced pluripotent stem cells (I-PSCs) from a healthy adult or an adult with a type of heart disease. The host rat heart provides the signals and chemistry needed by the implanted human immature heart muscle cells to progress and overcome the developmental block that has otherwise prevented their maturation in lab cultures.
