NEW STRATEGY DEVELOPED TO STUDY DISEASE: REVEALS INSIGHTS INTO CANCER AND TREATMENT LEADS
For the first time, Johns Hopkins researchers were able to easily jumpstart the activity of a well known cancer protein in live cells with a small molecule, a strategy that pinpointed key players in the cancer process and can be used to determine new therapeutic targets. What s more, the scientists study, published in the March 3 issue of Science, identifies a simple method to further understand the complex mechanisms that underlie cancer as well as other diseases and may provide an easy model to screen for new cancer drugs.
CELLS DERIVED FROM HEART STEM CELLS CAN REPAIR HEART ATTACK DAMAGE
Stem cells derived from human heart tissue develop into multicellular, spherical structures called cardiospheres that express the normal properties of primitive heart tissue, smooth muscle and blood vessel cells, according to a study by Johns Hopkins researchers.
