Self-assembled materials form mini stem cell lab | Think Gene: Mar 27, 8:25pm 2 reviews biology, nanotech, science, stem-cells, sirna
http://www.thinkgene.com/self-assembled-materials-form-mini-stem-cell-lab/; Imagine having one polymer and one small molecule that instantly assemble into a flexible but strong sac in which you can grow human stem cells, creating a sort of miniature laboratory. And that sac, if used for cell therapy, could cloak the stem cells from the human body's immune system and biodegrade upon arriving at its destination, releasing the stem cells to do their work.A research team from Northwestern University's Institute for BioNanotechnology in Medicine has created such sacs and demonstrated that human stem cells will grow in them. The researchers also report that the sacs can survive for weeks in culture and that their membranes are permeable to proteins. Proteins, even large ones, can travel freely across the membrane.

http://www.thinkgene.com/apple-pectin-apple-juice-extracts-shown-to-have-anti...; The apples and apple juice you consume may have positive effects in one of the most unlikely places in the body - in the colon. New research has demonstrated that both apple pectin and polyphenol-rich apple juice components actually enhance biological mechanisms that produce anticarcinogenic compounds during the fermentation process.
