Enzyme Responsible for Skin Thickening Disorder Linked to Esophageal Cancer

A recent paper explained the molecular mechanism underlying the development of palmoplantar keratoderma (thickening of the skin on the palms of the hands and soles of the feet) in the rare genetic disease Tylosis with esophageal cancer (TOC). More...

Defects in Newly Identified Molecular Pathway Lead to Parkinson's Disease

A molecular pathway has been traced that protects dopamine producing neurons and prevents Parkinson's disease, and this finding may pave the way for development of drugs to correct defects in this pathway in individuals who have the disease. More...

Defects in Creatine Metabolism Linked to Inflammatory Bowel Diseases

A mutation in the gene that encodes the enzyme glycine amidinotransferase has been linked to the development of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs) such as ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. More...

Mature Heart Muscle Cells Created from Implanted Stem Cells

Bypassing a longstanding tissue culture challenge, researchers have succeeded in generating mature and viable human heart muscle cells in the laboratory by implanting, into newborn rat hearts, induced pluripotent stem cells (I-PSCs) from a healthy adult or an adult with a type of heart disease. The host rat heart provides the signals and chemistry needed by the implanted human immature heart muscle cells to progress and overcome the developmental block that has otherwise prevented their maturation in lab cultures.

Regeneration of Heart Tissue Induced by Cardiac Stem Cells

Nanoscale three-dimensional printing was used to create a scaffold for the growth of cardiovascular tissue that could be transplanted into a damaged heart following a heart attack. More...
