...team of Harvard scientists made a significant breakthrough in the study of evolutionary biology, pinpointing the origin of cooperative behavior in yeast. Their work, published in Cell magazine two weeks ago, provides important information on the proliferation of genes that allow organisms to cooperate only with each other. The group was led by biology professor Kevin J. Verstrepen, who studied at the University of Belgium’s Center of Malting and Brewing. “One of the things I learned there,” said Verstrepen, “is that yeast cells have a tendency to stick...

...Barcelona Stem Cell-ebration European physicians have announced the success of a breakthrough procedure in which a woman's windpipe was rebuilt using her own stem cells. The operation, performed on 30-year-old Claudia Castillo this past June, seeded a stripped-down segment of a donor's trachea with stem cells from Castillo's bone marrow, ensuring a perfect tissue match and reducing the likelihood of transplant rejection. The procedure has been championed as a milestone that could pave the way for radical improvements in organ transplants and the treatment of serious diseases...
