Mario R. Capecchi, Sir Martin J. Evans and Oliver Smithies won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 2007 "for their discoveries of principles for introducing specific gene modifications in mice by the use of embryonic stem cells".Nobelprize.orgCapecchi LabI will return in more depth on this subject as soon as possible.Mouse picture from Rick - some rights reserved.

I am shocked.I had read this on Malcom Morris' blog a few days agoI still need to go on with the transplant to make sure I don't have a relapse so we're progressing on that front too. About 10 days ago while I was in for a check-up I was told that everything is ready to go as soon as I stick the cash on the table. Yesterday night I was surfing on Dr. Vance Esler's interesting blog and took some

Returning on what I was saying last Wednesday... I was testing out Technorati and found many blogs that had just copied and pasted a stem cell news from The Press Association or from BBC News. This is a kind of approach I don't really support and I am very disappointed by the fact that it's so common: why do these bloggers fill the Internet with duplications of news articles? No one has written

Stem cells are beginning to make their way through clinical practice. I happened to surf on Jack's stem cells' blog, a direct account of a promising clinical trial in Wisconsin, whose purpose is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of intramyocardial injections of adult stem cells in patients with refractory myocardial ischemia. This means it's a Phase II trialIn other words, this means taking

Hello everyone, I was surfing through the blogosphere, trying to index this new blog, when I found interesting posts on a possible new therapy for Fulminant Hepatic Failure. The information reported by non specialized blogs is always pretty poor, being usually too sensazionalistic and not informative. So I pursued to check for the primary source, the journal which published that specific paper I

1. - I am a real internet geek. 2. - I am concerned about stem cell and genetics research and its implications.3. - I believe that in the near future the results of this research will revolutionize clinical practice.4. - I would like to share my discoveries in the scientific literature.5. - I believe scientific divulgation is essential: the sleep of reason produces monsters.6. - Too often I read
