  • In-a-dish: Induced pluripotent stem cells as a novel model for human diseases

    Updated: 2012-12-20 15:31:24
    Human pluripotent stem cells bring promise in regenerative medicine due to their self-renewing ability and the potential to become any cell type in the body. Moreover, pluripotent stem cells can produce specialized cell types that are affected in certain diseases, generating a new way to study cellular and molecular mechanisms involved in the disease pathology under the controlled conditions of a scientific laboratory. Thus, induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) are already being used to gain insights into the biological mechanisms of several human disorders. Here we review the use of iPSC as a novel tool for disease modeling in the lab. © 2012 International Society for Advancement of Cytometry

  • Exactly How Do You Collect 12,000 Microbial Samples From a Hospital?

    Updated: 2012-12-17 21:30:14
    Last month I wrote about the Hospital Microbiome project, Jack Gilbert’s ambitious project to catalog the bacterial species growing in the hospital before it opens and monitor how that environment changes after doctors and patients start interacting with it. Over the next two years, he and his team will be collecting more than 12,000 samples [...]
