What if we told you that you could view transparent human cells? The Allen Institute for Cell Science researchers have invented a new data imaging technique in order to see the inside of stem cells. The images are not animation of cells, rather based on the insights derived from high quality photomicrographs with 6,000 induced […]

Glowing Stem Cells Help Scientists Understand How Cells Work
It’s tough to see the underlying problems with naked eyes when everything is going on smoothly. As soon as something goes wrong, we notice it, no matter how old the issue has been there. A human body is no different. Scientists are only able to study the cells, once they start acting weird. But the […]
Measuring Depression With Non-invasive Imaging of New Brain Cells
Modern medical science has proved many old notions wrong. Our belief that the adult brain cannot grow new neurons, is one of them. Researchers now have proved that the stem cells, present in our brains can generate new neurons and the use of Prozac or any other anti-depressant drug may help in neurogenesis (the growth […]
Scientists Developed Fertilized Eggs From Mouse Stem Cells
Japanese reproductive biologist, Katsuhiko Hayashi at the Kyushu University in Fukuoka, headed the research that published its findings in the journal known as ‘Nature’ on how they had been able to produce mouse eggs from mouse stem cells under laboratory conditions and then pushed the eggs towards fertilisation, yielding a fertile offspring as the end […]
Jaw Bone Stem Cells May Offer Relief for Sufferers of Painful Joint Disorder
Temporomandibular joint or more commonly referred to as TMJ, is a condition that many suffer from on a global scale. A recent study found out that approximately 10 million people, women being a majority in the US are victims to this disorder. So what is the temporomandibular joint?The joint that links your jaw to the […]
Potential Uses of Cord Blood in Cardiac Failure
Cardiac failure continues to be a significant global health concern. According to the American Heart Association statistics, over one in three American adults have one or more types of cardiovascular disease resulting in an average of 1 death every 39 seconds. In addition to that, a large number of people worldwide are today surviving with […]
Delayed Cord Clamping: A Guide To Research And Options
To start with, let us first understand what is ‘delayed cord clamping’. According to the International Childbirth Education Association, “Delayed cord clamping is a birth practice where the umbilical cord is not clamped or cut until after pulsations have ceased, or until after the placenta is delivered.” Now you may ask why this procedure is […]
