New Study Finds Selfish DNA (LINE-1) is Essential for Early Human Embryo Development
Recent research has shed light on how "selfish DNA," particularly LINE-1 transposons, plays a key role in early human development. Once viewed primarily as harmful, these elements have now been found to be essential for the normal formation and specialisation of cells during the embryo's early stages. Blocking their activity causes developmental di...

Boost for Stem Cell Therapy in Heart Failure
Muscle cells grown from human embryonic stem cells boosted damaged monkey hearts in lab experiments, said a study on Wednesday that holds promise for therapies to replace tissue in heart failure patients.

US begins trial of human embryonic stem cells
US doctors have begun treating the first patient with embryonic stem cells as part of the first human study of the controversial treatment authorised by the government, the Geron Corporation said on Monday. The patient was enrolled at a spinal cord and brain injury rehabilitation hospital in Atlanta, Georgia, where Geron beg...

Vitamin C may help treat a failing heart
In a recent research study, scientists observed that vitamin C prompted the embryonic stem cells of mice to transform into beating heart muscle cells. This current finding is crucial as it could help in the development of new heart failure treatments.
