Researchers put squeeze on cells to deliver

How about reprogramming a diabetic's skin cell into a cell that could manufacture the insulin their pancreas no longer produces? Could we dial down the production of fat cells in obese adolescents? These are major health problems and medical challenges that may be more achievable with a new fundamental technology that gets vital control molecules ... (more)

Doubt cast over tiny stem cells

Does a rare and minuscule cell type with the potential to repair almost any tissue in the body really exist? Proponents of very small embryonic-like cells extracted from bone marrow say that the cells have the potential to transform regenerative medicine.
