The findings give researchers new insights into the reprogramming process, and will help make future applications of stem cell creation and subsequent use safer. https://phys.org/news/2011-03-scientists-genetic-abnormalities-creation-stem.html Cell & Microbiology Wed, 02 Mar 2011 13:34:07 EST news218295234 In a study to be released on March 1, 2009, Mount Sinai Hospital's Dr. Andras Nagy discovered a new method of creating stem cells that could lead to possible cures for devastating diseases including spinal cord injury, macular degeneration, diabetes and Parkinson's disease. The study, to be published by Nature online, accelerates stem cell technology and provides a road map for new clinical approaches to regenerative medicine. https://phys.org/news/2009-03-stem-cell-breakthrough.html Cell & Microbiology Sun, 01 Mar 2009 13:54:22 EST news155138024 In a study published by Nature Biotechnology online on February 1, 2009, Mount Sinai Hospital researchers have unveiled a new technology tool that analyzes breast cancer tumours to determine a patient's best treatment options. The tool can predict with more than 80 per cent accuracy a patient's chance of recovering from breast cancer. https://medicalxpress.com/news/2009-02-technology-discovery-breast-cancer-treatment.html Oncology & Cancer Sun, 01 Feb 2009 14:45:34 EST news152721886
