A twist on developmental regulation of the face

During development, transcription factors are important in unlocking genes and making them available to cellular machinery. Joanna Wysocka and her colleagues found a novel sequence that allows coordination between different transcription factors during the development of the face.

Hodgkin lymphoma prognosis, biology tracked with circulating tumor DNA

Circulating tumor DNA predicts recurrence and splits disease into two subgroups in Stanford Medicine-led study of Hodgkin lymphoma. New drug targets or changes in treatments may reduce toxicity.

Why does CHIP lead to cardiovascular disease? The answers are becoming clearer

Stem cell mutations that lead to dominant clones raise the risk of cardiovascular disease. The mechanisms of this increased risk may like in the promotion of inflammatory activities among the offspring of mutant stem cells.

Growing new blood vessels when arteries are blocked

Institute researchers have discovered that certain purified stem cell components of normal fat, when combined in the right proportions and transplanted into the body, will grow into new blood vessels. The researchers showed that when the technique was used in mice it restored blood flow to areas where areas where arteries were blocked
