CHOP researchers advance stem cell studies in a childhood leukemia and diamond blackfan anemia First produced only in the past decade, human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) are capable of developing into many or even all human cell types. In new research, scientists reprogrammed skin...
Scientists at the Babraham Institute have gained a new understanding of when and how the DNA in developing egg and sperm cells is 'reset', in preparation for making a new embryo. It is well known that small chemical groups can be added to DNA to alter gene activity, these modifications to the...
In efforts to understand what influences life span, cancer and aging, scientists are building roadmaps to navigate and learn about cells at the molecular level. To survey previously uncharted territory, a team of researchers at UW-Madison created an "atlas" that maps more than 1,500 unique...
I just found an old DVD player, and after gutting the thing and keeping all of the parts operational, I wondered if I could somehow change what the LED display it has says. Is there a way to somehow connect it to my PC and do that, or would that require the program it was originally programmed with?
Tweaking the levels of factors used during the reprogramming of adult cells into induced pluriopotent stem (iPS) cells greatly affects the quality of the resulting iPS cells, according to Whitehead Institute researchers. "This conclusion is something that I think is very surprising or unexpected...
Researchers from the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute today announce a new technique to reprogramme human cells, such as skin cells, into stem cells. Their process increases the efficiency of cell reprogramming by one hundred-fold and generates cells of a higher quality at a faster rate. Until...
Shinya Yamanaka, MD, PhD, of the Gladstone Institute of Cardiovascular Disease (GICD) and Kyoto University, has won the 2010 Kyoto Prize for Advanced Technology. Yamanaka, who is the L.K.Whittier Investigator in Stem Cell Biology at Gladstone, and professor of anatomy at UCSF, was cited for his...
Ok, so I have a 2000 Dodge Neon. It idled horrible for about 20 seconds before completly dieing on me. Since then I have replaced the ECM (PCM). It sounds like it wants to start but it just wont. The motor will turn over but it wont start. Im thinking I need to program the ECM. My dad said its...
is it possible to reprogram my engine computer at home or do i have to take it somewhere. if i can do it what do i need and where can i go to get it, or if not where could i take it to get it re-programed? i want to disable the rev limiters, and adjust the coolant temp controls, and anything...
