Stem Cell Research
New research on stem cell research from National University, Genome Center summarized
August 25th, 2008
"Somatic stem cell transplantation holds great promise in regenerative medicine. The best-characterized adult stem cells are mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), neural stem cells (NSCs), and CD133(+) hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs)," researchers in Taipei, Taiwan report. "The applications of HSCs are hampered since these cells are difficult to maintain in an undifferentiated state in vitro. Understanding genes responsible for stem cell properties and their interactions will help on this issue. The construction of stem cell genetic networks will also help to develop rational strategies to revert somatic cells back to a stem-like state. We performed a systemic study on human...
