Researchers identify factors that spark formation of pluripotent cells
2015-11-10 12:07:25| Biotech - Topix.net
Researchers at EMBL's European Bioinformatics Institute and the Wellcome Trust- Medical Research Council Cambridge Stem Cell Institute at the University of Cambridge have identified factors that spark the formation of pluripotent cells. Their findings, published in Developmental Cell , shed light on human embryonic development and help research into cell reprogramming and assisted conception.

Researchers identify new gene locus that may protect children from developing malaria in Africa
2015-10-01 16:28:38| Biotech - Topix.net
Published today in Nature , the findings detail a new gene locus that can explain why, in communities where everyone is constantly exposed to malaria, some children develop severe malaria and others don't. Now, researchers can be sure that this particular stretch of our DNA plays a crucial role in the progression of the disease.
