Stem cells helped to understand the genetic cause of psychopathy

An international team of researchers has found that the expression of many genes that were previously associated with autism is also observed in violent psychopathy. Scientists used stem cells to analyze the expression of genes and proteins in the brain cells of psychopathic criminals.

First time recorded brain activity in a mini-brain grown from stem cells

Scientists have grown from stem cells a miniature brain, capable of creating functioning neural networks. Despite the fact that the organoid, obtained in the laboratory, is a million times smaller than the human brain, brain waves are first recorded in it, that resemble those in premature infants.

Stem cell vesicles will help in the fight against aging

Scientists have discovered that induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) are capable of producing more vesicles than normal adult stem cells. This discovery will allow more efficient delivery of regenerating proteins, antibodies and other therapeutic agents to damaged or aging cells.

Stem cells are not equal

Researchers at the University of Toronto’s Institute for Biomaterials and Biomedical Engineering (IBBME) and the Donnelly Center have found a population of cells called “elite” that play a key role in transforming differentiated cells into stem cells. This discovery has important for regenerative medicine.

Stem cell therapy could replace kidney transplants

Scientists from the Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine (WFIRM) demonstrated the effectiveness of stem cells derived from the amniotic fluid in restoring organ function in a preclinical model of kidney disease.

Stem cells may be the key to early treatment for autism spectrum disorder

Researchers at the Salk Institute compared the stem cells of patients with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) with the healthy stem cells to reveal their differences and the rate of development of produced neurons for the first time. Read more

Stem cells will help in the treatment of epilepsy

For patients suffering from severe epilepsy often no medication is effective. However, a new method based on the implantation of stem cells will be able to stop the attacks, affecting their source.
