Newly identified stem cells may hold clues to colon cancer Thursday, March 29, 2012 This new stem cell population, reported March 30 in the journal Cell, appears to be relatively quiescent (inactive) in contrast to the recent discovery of intestinal stem cells that multiply rapidly and is marked by a protein, Lrig1, that may act as a "brake" on cell growth and proliferation.

Scientists move closer to engineering new organs from scratch Friday, March 9, 2012 There are 113,237 people in the U.S. waiting for an organ. About eighteen of them will die today because they won't get one, according to the US Government's organ donor website. If science could build new organs like it can build cares and televisions, those 113,237 people would not have such an uncertain future.
