The promise of the mother cell

Article Abstract:

The benefits of stem cell biology were reaffirmed by an experimental therapy to treat patients with lupus, a disease in which the patient's immune system targets the body's own tissue. Many research findings have highlighted the importance of exploring the complexities of stem cell biology and hence a commitment is required to continue basic research on stem cells unfettered by political considerations.

Growing replacement parts

Article Abstract:

Bioengineers have fashioned an inexpensive polymer, polyester urethane urea into a biodegradable scaffold, which when infused with smooth muscle cells functions as vascular tissue, promoting healing and reducing formation of scar tissue in the hearts of rats recovering from cardiac arrest. California-based Cytographt has patented a method for growing blood vessels from a human patient's own cells.
