Researchers Edit Genes in Human Stem Cells

newswise.com

Researchers at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine have successfully edited the genome of human- induced pluripotent stem cells, making possible the future development of patient-specific stem cell therapies. Reporting this week in Cell Stem Cell, the team altered a gene responsible for causing the rare blood disease paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria, or PNH, establishing for the first time a useful system to learn more about the disease.

NIGMS Awards Contract to Expand Human Genetic Cell Repository | Highlight HEALTH

highlighthealth.com — “The National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) has awarded a $27 million, five-year contract to the Coriell Institute for Medical Research in Camden, N.J., to continue and expand operation of the NIGMS Human Genetic Cell Repository (HGCR). Under the new contract, the HGCR plans to enhance its collection of carefully maintained human cell lines by adding induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells that carry disease gene mutations.View full resource at highlighthealth.com

'Ready for personalised medicine' - The Times of India

timesofindia.indiatimes.com — “Martin Evans , who discovered embryonic stem cells, won the 2007 Nobel prize in physiology (medicine) with two others for work on gene targeting. The cells were used to create specific gene modifications to develop new treatments to overcome disease in humans. Evans spoke with Narayani Ganesh on the sidelines of the Lindau Nobel laureates' meeting with young researchers held at Lake Cons-tance recently:View full resource at timesofindia.indiatimes.com

Scientists grow brain cells from skin: Cancer cells and stem cells share same origin, research shows

sciencedaily.com — “Oncogenes are generally thought to be genes that, when mutated, change healthy cells into cancerous tumor cells. Scientists have proven that those genes also can change normal cells into stem-like cells, paving the way to a safer and more practical approach to treating diseases like multiple sclerosis and cancer with stem cell therapy. Researchers successfully converted human skin cells into brain cells by suppressing the expression of p53, a protein encoded by a widely studied oncogene.
