Researchers in Japan successfully created mouse egg cells from stem cells by adding vitamin A and protein, making progress toward technology that may be useful in human fertility treatment, a study published in a European science journal showed Tuesday. So far, egg cells, or eggs ...
Japanese researchers successfully engineered cells to relieve Parkinson’s symptoms in clinical trials, taking a step closer to a potential cure.
A team of Japanese and British scientists has succeeded in producing fertile offspring from sterile mice made with a chromosomal abnormality by using induced pluripotent stem cells, better known as iPS cells, Kyoto University said Friday. The researchers, including professor Michinori Saito of Kyoto University, ...
Experts from Kyoto University and the Wildlife Conservation Society have conducted a camera trap survey that detected a multitude of large mammal species in a protected area of northern Cambodia, the WSC said Thursday. "The results confirm the continued occurrence of large mammals such as ...
Kyoto University researchers are set to begin the world's first clinical trial of a drug identified using iPS cells to treat a rare bone disease, the university said Tuesday. A team led by Junya Toguchida, a professor at the university, used induced pluripotent stem cells ...
Embryonic stem cells for regenerative medicine will become available to medical institutions by the March 2018 end of fiscal 2017, Hirofumi Suemori, associate professor at Kyoto University's Institute for Frontier Life and Medical Sciences, has said. Suemori also said Tuesday that ES cells for medical ...
A wild boar entered the grounds of a Kyoto University dormitory in Kyoto's Sakyo Ward Tuesday where it caused a minor injury to the leg of a bike rider in his 60s before being captured. According to police, the roughly 1-meter-long wild boar appeared to ...
Compulsive gambling can be attributed to a brain disorder that renders addicts incapable of determining appropriate risk, a Japanese research group has found. The group, led by Hidehiko Takahashi, associate professor at Kyoto University, found that gambling addicts showed reduced activity in the frontal lobe. ...
A team led by the government-affiliated research institute Riken said Tuesday that it had carried out the world's first surgery transplanting retina cells created from donor iPS cells. By using a stockpile of induced pluripotent stem cells at Kyoto University, not iPS cells made from ...
We know that the upshot of sex between a man and a woman is more than 50 million sperm racing to reach one egg, though exactly how sperm swim through a woman’s body and how just one survives the journey to fertilize an egg ...
A Japanese research team has developed the world's first technology for regenerating damaged nerves using a three-dimensional printer designed to create animal cells. The use of the 3-D printer "will be able to support the rehabilitation of the patients and remove their pain," team leader ...
Kyoto University will suspend its supply of induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells for clinical use after a wrong reagent was possibly used to create such cells. The suspension is "a very tough decision," Shinya Yamanaka, director of the university's Center for iPS Cell Research and ...
