A new procedure is able to extract stem cells from an embryo while leaving it viable. Researchers are hoping that this method will help avoid any restrict spisio Tue, 22 Aug 2006 20:34:23 GMT http://biotech.blogs.ca/2006/08/16/test-for-alzheimers-using-skin-cells/ Scientists from the Blanchette Rockefeller Neurosciences Institute (BRNI) have created a biomarker which tests for a substance in skin cells that could lead to a quick and accurate diagnosis in early stages of the disease. spisio Wed, 16 Aug 2006 16:26:51 GMT http://biotech.blogs.ca/2006/09/06/ultrasound-aids-in-drug-delivery/ Using ultrasound creates holes in the cell membrane, which allows entry of larger molecules. These holes are large enough to allow entry of larger oral drugs, proteins and DNA segments used in gene therapy. spisio Wed, 06 Sep 2006 21:12:27 GMT http://biotech.blogs.ca/2006/09/26/yet-another-attempt-towards-ethical-stem-cells/ In a hope to ease ethical concerns, scientists have created a stem cell line from embryos that have stopped dividing naturally. These embryos have died of natural causes, but still have living cells that can be used to create stem cells. spisio Tue, 26 Sep 2006 17:58:03 GMT
