Beginning
in the 1970s, physicians learned how to harvest skin stem
cells from a patient with extensive burn wounds, grow them
in the
laboratory, then apply the lab - grown tissue to close and
protect a patient's wounds.
Researchers at Cold Spring Harbor
Laboratory in New York have discovered that a protein called Importin - 11
protects the anti-cancer protein PTEN from destruction by transporting it into the
cell nucleus.
In fact, so much of the progress that we're making in laboratories, including mine, is on developing neuroprotective therapies that can protect the retina from degeneration, regenerate optic nerve fibers all the way back to their targets in the brain, and even replace damaged retinal ganglion cells with self - therapies that completely rebuild the optic nerv

Studies
in animals, and human
cells in laboratory culture, indicate that CLA may
protect against certain types of cancer (6, 7, 8).
