Fruit Flies - A Model for Bodybuilders (uniprotokolle)

The human body operates by a precisely regulated interplay of different cell types such as blood, nerve and muscle cells.

Fruit Flies - A Model for Bodybuilders (Newswise)

The human body operates by a precisely regulated interplay of different cell types such as blood, nerve and muscle cells. Scientists in Vienna, Austria, and in Martinsried, Germany, have succeeded in identifying all genes of the fruit fly Drosophila that play a role in the development and function of muscles. The work has now been published in Nature.

Acceleron Recognized by The Wall Street Journal as One of the Top 50 Venture-Backed Companies in the United States (Business Wire via Yahoo! Finance)

CAMBRIDGE, Mass.----Acceleron Pharma, Inc., a biopharmaceutical company developing novel therapeutics that modulate the growth of cells and tissues including red blood cells, bone, muscle, fat and the vasculature, today announced that it was recognized by VentureSource, a unit of Wall Street Journal owner News Corp. as one of the top 50 venture capital-backed companies in the United States.

Malaria In Pregnant Women : A First Step Towards A New Vaccine (Medical News Today)

By managing to express the protein that enables red blood cells infected with the malaria agent Plasmodium falciparum to bind to the placenta and by deciphering its molecular mechanisms, a team of researchers from CNRS and the Institut Pasteur has taken an important first step in the development of a vaccine against pregnancy-associated malaria. Their work was published in the journal PNAS. In ...

Need for blood on the rise (The Allen American)

With recent global tragedies, the strain on the donated blood supply is at an all-time high. Across the nation, blood supplies are at critically low levels, according to a release by the Baylor Regional Medical Center at Plano.

Malaria in pregnant women: Step towards a new vaccine (Science Daily)

Breakthrough reveals blood vessel cells are key to growing unlimited amounts of adult stem cells (Science Daily)

In a leap toward making stem cell therapy widely available, researchers have discovered that endothelial cells, the most basic building blocks of the vascular system, produce growth factors that can grow copious amounts of adult stem cells and their progeny over the course of weeks. Until now, adult stem cell cultures would die within four or five days despite best efforts to grow them.

Blood Vessel Cells Promote Self-Renewal of Blood Stem Cells (Howard Hughes Medical Institute)

Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) scientists have discovered that endothelial cells, the building blocks of the vascular system, keep blood stem cells dividing healthily in a lab dish much longer and more effectively than previous methods of growing the cells.
