The researchers used the new
lab - on - a-chip to study how
adult stem cells in adipose tissue develop into mature fat
cells, conducting their investigations outside the body.
To find out if this was true, workers
in stem -
cell biologist Irving Weissman's
lab at Stanford University Medical School took one blood
stem cell from an
adult mouse and tagged it with a marker that glowed green under fluorescent light.
Scientists
in the
lab have successfully generated neural
stem cells (NCS) from human embryonic
stem cells and human induced pluripotent
stem cells (these are
stem cells that have been reprogrammed from
adult cells).
Embryonic
stem cells — the subject of so much controversy (witness the new ruling blocking their use)-- were first cultured
in the
lab a little more than a decade ago;
in 2006, there was another breakthrough when
adult cells were coaxed into becoming induced pluripotent
stem cells.
He and his
lab study
stem cell biology to provide insights into many areas, such as developmental biology, homeostasis
in the normal
adult and recovery from injury.
The blood is efficiently separated so that mononuclear white blood
cells and peripheral blood
stem cells can be transferred to a collection bag which will be transferred to the
lab and frozen for later use
in adult stem cell therapy.
But
adult stem cells are less flexible than embryonic
stem cells and are harder to manipulate
in the
lab.
Neural
stem cells are found
in adult or fetal brain and spinal cord or derived from embryonic
stem cells, which have the capacity to become any
cell type
in the body, or induced pluripotent
stem (iPS)
cells, tissue - specific
cells that are reprogrammed
in the
lab to behave like embryonic
stem cells.
