Cold adaptation in Antarctic fish

Comparative transcriptome analysis of the Antarctic fish P. Borchgrevinki, identifies genes involved in cold adaptation and provides insight into the evolution of molecular mechanisms for fish survival in different water temperatures - an important feature during climate change.

iPS and tumor cell response to genotoxins

ATM and p53 phosphorylation are differentially regulated in human induced pluripotent stem cells compared with Tera-1 and BEAS-2B cells after exposure to chromium, providing insight into how iPS cells maintain their genomic integrity

MSCs affect MM Cells via Fas

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) induce apoptosis of multiple myeloma (MM) cells via Fas-ligand (Fas-L) and levels of Fas-L expression determine, at least partially, the effect of MSCs on cancer growth.

What's inside of a walking stick?

The first attempt to catalogue the gut microbial community of the Phasmatodea (or stick insects) suggests that, despite considerable diversity,  there are likely no symbiotic bacteria present, in contrast to many other insect groups

hAFCs recover ovarian function

Human amniotic fluid stem cells (hAFCs), injected into the ovaries of sterile mice, have the ability to restore ovarian morphology, indicating the potential of these cells for reproductive regenerative medicine.
