Nanoengineers might dig into the molecular structure of battery materials to speed up how they transfer more voltage per cell.

«This is the first study, to our knowledge, that demonstrates the mechanical continuity, strain transfer, and conformational changes that result from chemical energy release from the atomic scale up through the whole - cell level, as well as how tensegrity guides those changes to drive cellular movement,» says Ingber.

How can you have a meeting with people who come to it with a deep abiding faith that a fertilized egg is a person, and a blastocyst created by nuclear transfer is a person, and the destruction of that blastocyst to harvest stem cells is murder?

How close are you to combining these steps, transferring a synthetic genome so it takes over a foreign cell?

To understand how the bacteria affected the immune system, the researchers grew L. reuteri in liquid and then transferred small amounts of the liquid — without bacteria — to immature immune cells isolated from mice.

«Recent successes in cancer immunotherapy — in the form of immune checkpoint inhibitors and adoptive T cell transfer — demonstrate how activated immune cells can eradicate tumors, but until now we didn't fully appreciate immunosurveillance or the role of adaptive immunity in tumor formation,» said senior author Michael Karin, PhD, Distinguished Professor of Pharmacology and Pathology at UC San Diego School of Medicine.

This image shows how transferred genes activate the stem cell properties of normally dormant retinal cells.

I didn't groan at this idea unlike most other Star Wars fans — many of whom were outraged by the perceived reduction of the Force from a grand, almost magical power to a function of biology — because I'm a biologist who studies bioenergetics: How organisms convert various molecules (food) into chemical energy (adenosine triphosphate or ATP, a compound that enables energy transfer between cells) that can be used to power life.

A major focus in Gierasch's lab has been how protein folding occurs within the cell, using transferred nuclear Overhauser effect, or trNOE, methods to show how chaperone proteins recognize the folded state of a protein substrate.

With the microRNA signatures of mitochondrial function and dysfunction in RPE cells in hand, combined with a detailed mechanistic understanding of how these microRNAs are transferred from cell to cell, we can use small interfering RNAs to target specific microRNAs and block their adverse effects on mitochondria function and their transfer to other RPE cells.

The Society believes that research involving the transfer of a human nucleus into an animal egg will lead to important new knowledge about cell nuclear replacement (CNR) technology and, if it were to prove possible to produce embryonic stem cells by this route, would increase understanding of how to programme these cells to develop into different tissue types.
