Researchers grow sperm in a lab; say the technique could be used to cure male sterility in the future.

This article is about scientist that have figured out that they can grow sperm from skin cells. A university figured out that maybe human embryonic stem cells and human induced pluripotent stem cells can become sperm cells. This article is so interesting. I can't believe that this could actually happen. The negative thing about this is that If this is possible, imagine how much more the population is going to increase. I can't wait to see what else we're going to figure out.

this article was about how scientist have figured out how to make sperm from skin cells. they figured out that skin had some of the same properties that was in sperm. tjis article was interesting because i didn't think skin could be sperm.

Scientists from the University of Georgia Regenerative Bioscience Center used adult stem cells to produce a protein involved in bone healing gel. The putty provides full load bearing capabilities. Once its implanted into the site of a fracture bone, it rapidly restore a patient to ambulatory function while healing. Fracture Putty has already been proven to work in animals, and It could be two or more years until human studies are done.

The first use of embryonic stem cells in humans eased a degenerative form of blindness in two volunteers and showed no signs of any adverse effects, according to a study published by The Lancet on Monday.

For the first time ever, stem cells from umbilical cords have been converted into other types of cells, which may eventually lead to new treatment options for spinal cord injuries and multiple sclerosis, among other nervous system diseases.

In the future, patients in need of perfectly matched neural stem cells may not need to look any further than their own eyes, as researchers have found adult stem cells of the central nervous system in a single layer of cells at the back of the eye.

As any bodybuilder can attest, muscles grow when we make them do more work. Now, new research explains how muscle cells translate weight-lifting overload into bulk.

When a muscle is damaged, dormant adult stem cells called satellite cells are signaled to 'wake up' and contribute to repairing the muscle.

We all started out as a fertilized egg: a solitary cell about as wide as a shaft of hair. That primordial sphere produced the ten trillion cells that make up each of our bodies. We are not merely sacs of identical cells, of course. A couple hundred types of cells arise as we develop. We’re encased in skin, inside of which bone cells form a skeleton; inside the skull are neurons woven into a brain. What made this alchemy possible? The answer, in part, is viruses.

Scientists may have discovered one of the sources of new neurons. For a long time the human brain was thought to be unable to produce new nerve cells during one's life, but that was proven false in recent years. Now, experts find where the new neurons originate.

The first human eggs grown from human stem cells could be fertilized with human sperm cells later this year, potentially revolutionizing fertility treatment for women. This could be one more step on the path toward reproduction sans human interaction — in this case, a potential parent wouldn’t even need to donate her eggs. But it could also turn stem cells into an infinite loop, of egg cells into embryos into stem cells, and on and on, in a fractal-like repetition of reproduction.

A worldwide effort to screen the genomes of more than a hundred human embryonic stem cell (hESC) lines has revealed a number of consistent genetic differences that appear after the cells are cultured for a period of time. About 20 percent of the lines, for example, contained an amplification of a short region on chromosome 20, which appears to confer a growth advantage to the cells. The report was published online yesterday (November 27) in Nature Biotechnology.
