Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in childhood inherited bone marrow failure syndrome
davidd submitted, created time 9 months 3 weeks (www.nature.com)
Aplastic anemia is a rare disease in children that is most commonly idiopathic and less often a hereditary disorder. Hereditary bone marrow failure (BMF) syndromes, however, should be considered both in children and in adults before any attempt at treatment. In this review, they will report recent results of treatment of Fanconi anemia and other hereditary BMF syndromes. 
Building a New Heart From Old Tissue

Approximately 3000 patients in the United States are on the waiting list for a heart transplant, but only about 2000 donor organs become available each year.
This article put forward a new method to solve the life-and-death problem.It includes two pivotal factors:The first one is that we need to find an appropriate stem cell that can give rise to heart tissue;The second one is that the cells require a framework, or scaffolding, to grow on.
Do you think it is feasible to resolve the difficult medical problem? 


Discovery in rat hearts could lead to tailored transplants

A few years back, I described induced pluripotent stem cells as "the holy grail." This is what stem cell researchers were looking for: a way to produce rejection-proof cells specifically tailored to the patient's system. However, stem cells still can't be grown into organs all by themselves -- we can make liver tissue but we can't make a liver. They need a frame upon which to grow.
And some guys from the University of Minnesota just found out how to get one.

In 2000, researchers in Canada reported a possible breakthrough in the treatment of type 1 diabetes. By transfusing insulin-producing cells from donated pancreases into patients, the researchers provided what looked like cures. Within a week after the procedure, all of the first six patients were liberated from daily insulin injections.
