Scientists Closer To Developing ‘Smart’ Stem Cells From Human Fat

SYDNEY, Australia - A new type of stem cell—that is, a cell with regenerative abilities—could be closer on the horizon, a new study led by an Australian University shows. The stem cells (called induced multipotent stem cells, or iMS) can be made from easily accessible human cells—in this case, fat—and reprogrammed to act as stem cells. The results

Labyrinth Chip Could Help Monitor Aggressive Cancer Stem Cells

ANN ARBOR - Inspired by the Labyrinth of Greek mythology, a new chip etched with fluid channels sends blood samples through a hydrodynamic maze to separate out rare circulating cancer cells into a relatively clean stream for analysis. It is already in use in a breast cancer clinical trial. Tumor cells isolated from blood samples
