Advances in stem cell research will provide enormous opportunities for both biological and future clinical applications. Basically, stem cells could replicate any other cells in the body, offering immense hope of curing Alzheimer's disease, repairing damaged spinal cords, treating kidney, liver and lung diseases and making damaged hearts whole. The potential for profit is staggering. Prof. Jinhui Chen from Indiana University in USA considered that this field of research still faces myriad biological, ethical, legal, political, and financial challenges. The eventual resolution of these conflicts will determine the success of the research and potentially the face of medicine in the future. The relevant study has been published in the Neural Regeneration Research (Vol. 9, No. 7, 2014).

Inside each of our hard, calcified teeth is a small population of living stem cells that can differentiate into many types of tissue. The origin of those stem cells has long been unknown, but scientists may now have a completely surprising answer: Cells of the nervous system can migrate into the middle of a tooth and actually turn back into stem cells. If verified, this could be a possible new source for stem cells.
Teeth are connected to nerves, as anyone who's had the misfortune of a toothache would know. Igor Adameyko of the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm and his team were studying glial cells, which support and protect neurons, in mice. By fluorescently labeling these glial cells, they could track the fate of these cells over time.
What they found was entirely surprising. Glial cells from nerves in the gums actually migrated into teeth, where they turned into mesenchymal stem cells and eventually into tooth cells. Stem cells differentiating into specific cells is to be expected, but glial cells turning into stem cells is the exact opposite of what we thought we knew.
The study published in Nature is definitely exciting, but it will of course need to be confirmed with follow-up studies. It's possible we may have a new source for stem cellsright in our mouths. [Science]

Waterloo, ON (PRWEB) August 01, 2014
Testing the mechanical properties of microtissues by researchers has led to a better understanding embryonic development. How and why embryonic stem cells differentiate and reorganize into structurally and functionally distinct tissues is important because abnormalities can lead to devastating physical defects. Prof. Todd McDevitt, Melissa Kinney, and Rabbia Saeed worked from the premise that biophysical signals interact with biochemical cues to control many aspects of embryo development. In their recent study published in Nature Scientific Reports (http://www.nature.com/srep/2014/140306/srep04290/full/srep04290.html?WT.ec_id=SREP-631-20140311), the team assessed the mechanical changes in 3D stem cell microtissues and linked these changes with cell differentiation and tissue morphology changes.
The team used the CellScale MicroSquisher (http://www.cellscale.com/products/microsquisher) to perform mechanical testing of the 3D tissues, which were 200-500m in size. The unique ability of the MicroSquisher to resolve small forces was critical for this application, where the peak forces were less than 20N.
This data will enable a better understanding of embryonic development, which is critical developing strategies to prevent many birth defects. The data will also enable the development of new approaches to direct the differentiation and patterning of 3D microtissues for further research in drug development and tissue repair.
CellScale is an industry leader in providing researchers with precision biomaterial and mechanobiology test systems. Currently, you can find our products being used by world class academic and commercial organizations across the globe.
Our mechanical test systems are specifically designed for analyzing and characterizing the material properties of natural and artificial biomaterials.
Our mechanobiology technology helps advance research by providing insights into the response of cells to mechanical stimulation a key factor in the pursuit of the next revolution in medical treatments.

WEDNESDAY, July 30, 2014 (HealthDay News) -- Babies born with so-called "bubble boy" disease can often be cured with a stem cell transplant, regardless of the donor -- but early treatment is critical, a new study finds.
Severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID), as the condition is medically known, actually refers to a group of rare genetic disorders that all but eliminate the immune system. That leaves children at high risk of severe infections.
The term "bubble boy" became popular after a Texas boy with SCID lived in a plastic bubble to ward off infections. The boy, David Vetter, died in 1984 at the age of 12, after an unsuccessful bone marrow transplant -- an attempt to give him a functioning immune system.
Today, children with SCID have a high chance of survival if they receive an early stem cell transplant, researchers report in the July 31 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine.
In the best-case scenario, a child would get stem cells -- the blood-forming cells within bone marrow -- from a sibling who is a perfect match for certain immune-system genes.
But that's not always an option, partly because kids with SCID are often their parents' first child, said Dr. John Cunningham, director of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation at the University of Chicago Comer Children's Hospital. He was not involved in the study.
In those cases, doctors typically turn to a parent -- who is usually a "half" match, but whose stem cells can be purified to improve the odds of success. Sometimes, stem cells from an unrelated, genetically matched donor can be used.
The good news: Regardless of the donor, children with SCID can frequently be cured, according to the new findings. But early detection and treatment is vital.
"These findings show that if you do these transplants early -- before [the age of] 3.5 months, in a child without infection -- the results are really quite comparable to what you have with a matched sibling," said lead researcher Dr. Richard O'Reilly, chief of the pediatric bone marrow transplant service at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York City.
