Simulation Gives Clues About Forces Underlying Fundamental Cellular Processes

Researchers have developed a simulation model resulting in clues to physical conditions that help drive cell division and motility. The results may also hint at conditions that helped facilitate the original transition from inanimate to living matter.  More...

Image: University of Michigan researchers have found that mechanical forces in the environment of human embryonic stem cells influences how they differentiate, or morph into the body\'s different cell types. To arrive at the findings, they cultured the stem cells on ultrafine carpets made of microscopic posts (Photo courtesy of Ye Tao, Rose Anderson, Yubing Sun, and Jianping Fu).

Silly Putty Component Used to Help in Stem Cell Therapies

The sponginess of the setting where human embryonic stem cells are growing, affects the type of specialized cells they will ultimately become, new research shows.  More...

Reduced Elafin Levels Associated with Celiac Disease Bowel Inflammation

Levels of the enzyme elafin, an endogenous serine protease inhibitor, were lower in the small intestinal epithelium of patients with active celiac disease as compared to similar tissue from control patients.   More...
