Impaired MSC Maturation May Lead To Fragile Bone Formation
Mitochondrial dysfunction may impair MSC maturation and inhibit cell proliferation, contributing to fragile bone formation in SRS patients. Patients with Snyder-Robinson Syndrome (SRS), an X-linked recessive condition, exhibit deficient Spermidine Synthase (SMS) gene expression as well as neurodevelopmental defects and osteoporosis, often leading to extremely fragile bones. Although several studies have explored the possible mechanisms by which the disease causes impaired bone formation, the actual cause is yet unknown. One study proposes a correlation between impaired bone formation and dysfunctional multipotent stromal…
Read MoreUMBILICAL CORD BLOOD
THE POWER OF THE ADAPTABLE CELLS Cord blood transplants hold promise for treating a wide range of diseases from cancer and diabetes to rare genetic disorders. Within the cord blood are blood-forming stem cells, known as hematopoietic stem cells. Transplantation of these stem cells into patients with chronic or life-threatening diseases allows regrowth or regeneration of healthy cells. Thus, cord blood stem cell transplants are a form of regenerative medicine, a branch of medicine that replaces, regrows, or repairs tissues damaged by…
Read MoreImproved Method for Quick Identification of Mosquito Blood Meals
A new test offers an improved PCR-based method for the identification of human-, nonhuman mammal-, and bird-derived mosquito blood meals. West Nile virus (WNV), malaria, yellow fever, and Zika are some mosquito-borne diseases that affect hundreds of millions of people each year. The identification of host feeding sources and preferences are essential for studies into the dynamics of transmission of mosquito-borne diseases. An underlying issue is that a mosquito can feed upon multiple hosts, making the identification of host feeding source problematic.…

Read MoreInspiring the Next Generation with her Love of Science
At a young age Chelsea Blankenchip, laboratory coordinator at StemExpress, discovered her love of science. As a gifted student, she enjoyed school and in Jr. High began participating in the Science Olympiad. Out of the classroom she spent hours with her grandfather, a talented contractor, building and constructing things. She liked the challenge of developing an idea and then using tools to put the pieces together. Her love of science led her to Occidental College in Los Angeles where she earned…
