New research indicates that cell death associated with diseases like Parkinson's and ALS could be caused by toxic factors surrounding motor neurons. If the research is confirmed, it could have implications in stem cell research. Therapeutic stem cells could face the same threats that caused the disease in the first place. Report

A study at Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh of UPMC concludes that female stem cells derived from muscle are twice as effective as male stem cells when it comes to regenerating skeletal muscle tissue. The scientists said that they believed that the difference was due to the female mice's improved ability to handle stress. …

Researchers at UT's M.D. Anderson Cancer Center have used a "Trojan Horse" to prevent bone tumors from developing in mice. The agent--VEGF121/rGel--prevented cells from eating away at the bone of half the mice involved in the study to make room for tumors to grow. Their research specifically dealt with prostate cancer cells, but has implications for preventing metastasis for breast, multiple myeloma, lung and renal cell cancers.

"Many tumors invade bone in the same way, so these …
