Discovery of a novel reprogramming method of adult cells could shift stem cell research.

Philip Schwartz, PhD, supervisor and senior scientist and director of the National Human Neural Stem Cell Resource at the Children’s Hospital of Orange County Research Institute, talks to Contributing Editor Tanuja Koppal, PhD, about the subtle particulars and expertise needed to design and maintain a laboratory dedicated to culturing stem cells.

Studying these cells could lead to new treatments for diseases ranging from gastrointestinal disease to diabetes.

How cells progress from one form of energy production to another during development is unknown, but a study by UCLA stem cell researchers provides new insight into this transition.

Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and principal investigator Glenn Monastersky have been awarded a four-year $2.45 million grant from the New York Stem Cell Science Program (NYSTEM) of the Empire State Stem Cell Board.

An alternative to bone marrow isolation.
