In Vitro Culture System Yields Clues About Embryonic Blood Cell Development

Developmental researchers employed a robust in vitro culture system, which models HSC development in the embryo, to study how these cells give rise to the various types of blood cells found in the adult.  More...

Image: HDL can remove cholesterol from arteries and shuttle it to the liver where it is eliminated, but this process can be disrupted in certain circumstances (such as deficiency of SCARB1) (Photo courtesy of Dr. Daniel Rader, University of Pennsylvania).

Rare Mutation Increases Both HDL-Cholesterol and Heart Disease Risk

Increased risk of atherosclerosis has been attributed to a rare mutation in the gene that encodes the major liver cell receptor for HDL.  More...

Insulin Secretion Enhanced by Beta Cell Senescence

Cellular senescence, a condition of permanent cell cycle arrest that is considered a safeguard mechanism preventing aged or abnormal cells from further expansion, has been found to increase the insulin-producing capability of pancreatic beta cells.  More...

Growth of Zika virus in Brain Stem Cells Implies Involvement in Microcephaly

Experiments conducted in cultured human embryonic cortical neural progenitor cells have demonstrated that these cells are readily infected by the Zika virus, which induces the cells to produce new Zika virus particles while disrupting normal cell metabolism in a fashion that eventually kills the cells.  More...
