STEMCELL Technologies Applauds Feeder-free Derivation of Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells
Using adipose cells as the starting cell population and mTeSR(TM)1, a defined medium that allows the expansion of human embryonic and induced pluripotent stem cells without the use of feeders, the researchers were able to fully reprogram cells to the pluripotent state. [STEMCELL Technologies, Vancouver]
Neurons Found to be Similar to Electoral College
A new study provides evidence that supports the "two-layer integration model," one of several competing models attempting to explain how neurons integrate synaptic inputs. [Northwestern University, Evanston]
Star-shaped Cells in the Brain Aid with Learning
Scientists have shown that certain cells in the brain, the astrocytes, actively influence the flow of information exchange by making nerve cells more efficient or increasing the number of cell contacts. [Max Planck Society, Munich]
Discovered Key Gene for the Formation of New Neurons
Scientists discovered a gene - called AP2gamma - crucial for the neural development of the visual cortex, in a discovery that can have implications for the therapeutics of neural regeneration. [Institute for Stem Cell Research, Munich]
New Neural Circuits Identified In The Retina
A new type of nerve cell, sensitive to approaching motion, has recently been identified in mice. [École Normale Supérieure, Paris]
Researchers Find Individual Cells Isolated from the Biological Clock can Keep Daily Time, but Are Unreliable
Researchers have demonstrated that individual cells isolated from the biological clock can keep daily time all by themselves, but get out of synch and capriciously quit or start oscillating again. [Washington University in St.Louis, St.Louis]
Robot with a Biological Brain: New Research Provides Insights into How the Brain Works
British scientists are on track to develop a new robot which they claim will be controlled by a blob of human brain cells. [University of Reading, Reading]
Sculpting Cells with Light
The power to manipulate cells at will comes courtesy of a new genetically encoded switch that lets researchers use light to control a cell's shape and movement. [Howard Hughes Medical Institute, Chevy Chase]
