...s The human protein cripto-1 (CR-1) promotes cell transformation and increases migration and invasion in various epithelial cell lines. A new study has found that CR-1 also plays an important role in angiogenesis. David S.

..." MRI may be able to detect regions of hemorrhagic transformation of an acute ischemic stroke not evident on CT. Our study confirms the superiority of MRI for detection of chronic hemorrhage, particularly microbleeds. The role of these findings in the decision-making process for treatment of patients who are candid...Smart lights, nonstick implants and 100th birthday of electronics at science & technology meeting

...axed embryonic stem cells from mice to begin their transformation into motor neurons. Once these "pre-motor neurons" were implanted into the spinal cords of paralyzed rats, a constant drip of molecules that block the nerve-repelling activity of the spinal cord's myelin sheath gave the cells a chance to break throug...Researchers pinpoint brain areas that process reality, illusion

Recent work has shown that some cancers can arise from abnormal cells that are like stem cells in that they self-renew and produce the different kinds of cells that make up a tumor.
