What’s in an egg? Oocyte factors that can reprogram adult cells

IMAGE: Stem Cells and Development is dedicated to communication and objective analysis of developments in the biology, characteristics, and therapeutic utility of stem cells, especially those of the hematopoietic system.... view New Rochelle, NY, July 3, 2018-The promise of generating truly pluripotent stem cells from terminally differentiated adult cell types continues to captivate scientists who envision great potential for therapeutic interventions. The two primary methods involve either the replacement of oocyte nuclei with adult somatic cell nuclei--a process known as somatic cell nuclear transfer --or the introduction, typically by viruses, of a cocktail of specific transcription factors to create induced pluripotent stem cells .

New Rochelle High School Science Research Students Gain Awards, Experience in Two Events

The Science Research students at New Rochelle High School continue to win accolades beyond the city limits, with two students winning awards in the Regeneron Westchester Science & Engineering Fair, and four attending the recent 33rd Annual Upstate Junior Science and Humanities Symposium at SUNY Albany. Hundreds of students throughout Westchester and Putnam counties competed in the Science and Engineering Fair on March 17 at Sleepy Hollow High School.

Spaceflight activates cell changes with implications for stem cell-based heart repair

IMAGE: Stem Cells and Development is dedicated to communication and objective analysis of developments in the biology, characteristics, and therapeutic utility of stem cells, especially those of the hematopoietic system.... view New Rochelle, NY, April 2, 2018-A new study of the effects of spaceflight on the development of heart cells identified changes in calcium signaling that could be used to develop stem cell-based therapies for cardiac repair. The impact of simulated microgravity and environmental factors on the International Space Station on cardiovascular progenitor cell development and signaling is reported in an upcoming special issue of Stem Cells and Development , a peer-reviewed journal from Mary Ann Liebert, Inc., publishers .

Science Research Students Succeed at Symposium

Four New Rochelle High School students earned impressive honors at the Westchester-Rockland Junior Science and Humanities Symposium held at John Jay High School in Cross River on February 4. NRHS Science Research students Zahra Masih, Leora Segal, James Calano and Casandra Chen came back with outstanding results, explained Science Research Program Director Jeff Wuebber, demonstrating their tremendous Science Research expertise. Senior Zahra Masih's oral presentation, "The Regulation of Human T-Cell Cytotoxicity by Metabolic Receptor Signaling" gave her third place honors in the cellular and molecular biology category, qualifying her for the statewide competition in Albany next month.
