The effectiveness of using NSCs, which originate from the central nervoussystem, to treat brain tumors has been investigated in previous studies. This is the first study that demonstrates that iPS cell-derived NSCs couldalso target tumors outside the central nervous system, to treat both primary andsecondary tumors. Dr Shu said: “We have demonstrated that tumor-targeting neural stem cellsmay be …Source:

Not only will the advance make it easier to produce genetically modified mice, but it may also enable genetic modification of animals that can't be modified by today's means. The technique might ultimately be used in assisted human reproduction for those affected by genetic disease, the researchers suggest.Source:

Every 20 seconds a person in the United States has a heart attack, causing heart cells to die and leaving the vital organ weak. There's currently no way to reverse the damage, but doctors think the secret may lie within our own bodies.Source:

When a person suffers a heart attack, scar tissue forms over the damaged areas of the heart, reducing the organ’s function. However, in a recent study, scientists successfully turned this scar tissue into working heart muscle without the use of stem cells.Source:
