domesticterrorism:
Science Daily — Functional MRI scans have revealed a “biologically embedded” basis for altruistic behavior, with several characteristic regions of the brain being activated when players of a game called “Prisoner’s Dilemma” decide to trust each other and cooperate, rather than betray each other for immediate gain, say researchers from Emory University. They report on their...

What’s interesting about this whole menstrual cup business is that the concept — collecting menstrual blood...

Mechanisms of Stem Cell Self-Renewal →
Self-renewal is the process by which stem cells divide to make more stem cells, perpetuating the stem cell pool throughout life. Self-renewal is division with maintenance of the undifferentiated state. This requires cell cycle control and often maintenance of multipotency or pluripotency, depending on the stem cell. Self-renewal programs involve networks that balance proto-oncogenes...

Doctors who carried out a stem cell transplant on an HIV-infected man with leukaemia in 2007 say they now believe the man to have been cured of HIV infection as a result of the treatment, which introduced stem cells which happened to be resistant to HIV infection.

as i’ve been pointing out recently, building a human being from a single cell is a complex ordeal and sometimes things go wrong. two of the most common birth defects are gastroschisis and omphalocele, both result in a failure of the abdomen to completely close causing a portion of the GI tract…
Notch signaling in glioblastoma: a developmental... →
Malignant gliomas are among the most devastating tumors for which conventional therapies have not significantly improved patient outcome. Despite advances in imaging, surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy, survival is still less than 2 years from diagnosis and more targeted therapies are urgently needed. Notch signaling is central to the normal and neoplastic development of the central...
