Study Ties Abnormal Cells in Blood to Lung Cancer
A novel approach detects genetically abnormal cells in the blood of non-small cell lung cancer patients that match abnormalities found in tumor cells and increase in number with the severity of the disease. [Press release from the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center discussing online prepublication in Clinical Cancer Research]

CURRENT PUBLICATIONS (Ranked by Impact Factor of the Journal)
Insulin Receptor Signaling in Osteoblasts Regulates Postnatal Bone Acquisition and Body Composition
Investigators show that insulin receptor signaling in osteoblasts controls osteoblast development and osteocalcin expression by suppressing the Runx2 inhibitor Twist2. [Cell]
Genetically Abnormal Circulating Cells in Lung Cancer Patients: An Antigen-Independent Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization-Based Case-Control Study
Researchers performed a study to determine if a fluorescence in situ hybridization-based assay using isolated peripheral blood mononuclear cells with DNA probes targeting specific sites on chromosomes known to have abnormalities in non-small cell lung cancer cases could detect circulating genetically abnormal cells. [Clin Cancer Res]
A Therapeutic Strategy for Choroidal Neovascularization Based on Recruitment of Mesenchymal Stem Cells to the Sites of Lesions
Scientists found that bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells transplanted by intravenous injection into laser-induced choroidal neovascularization (CNV) mouse models were specifically recruited into CNV lesions, where they differentiated into multiple cell types and participated in the development of neovascularization, without stagnation in other organs. [Mol Ther]
Short Bouts of Mechanical Loading are as Effective as Dexamethasone at Inducing Matrix Production by Human Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Stem Cell
The goal of this study was to investigate the effects of dynamic compressive loading on differentiation and mineralized matrix production of human mesenchymal stem cells in 3D polyurethane scaffolds, using a loading regimen previously shown to stimulate mineralized matrix production of mature bone cells. [Eur Cell Mater]
Biological Safety of Human Skin-Derived Stem Cells After Long-Term In Vitro Culture
Researchers aimed to investigate the biological safety of human skin-derived mesenchymal stem cells cultured in vitro by detecting changes in karyotype, major histocompatibility complex expression and tumorigenicity. [J Tissue Eng Regen Med]
Chondrogenic Differentiation of Human Mesenchymal Stem Cells in Micro-Masses is Impaired by High Doses of the Chemokine CXCL7
The aim was to analyse the effect of CXCL7, a chemokine that has the capacity to recruit mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), on the chondrogenic differentiation of MSCs. [J Tissue Eng Regen Med]
Activation of Nervous System Development Genes in Bone Marrow Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells Following Space Flight Exposure
Having overcome technological difficulties associated with flying cells in a space mission, researchers presented the first report on the behavior of the potentially osteogenic murine bone marrow stromal cells in a 3D culture system, flown inside the KUBIK aboard space mission ISS 12S from 30 March to 8 April 2006. [J Cell Biochem]
Chondrogenic Potential of Subpopulations of Cells Expressing Mesenchymal Stem Cell Markers Derived from Human Synovial Membranes
In this study, researchers analyzed the chondrogenic potential of subpopulations of mesenchymal stem cells derived from human synovial membranes enriched for CD73, CD106 and CD271 markers. [J Cell Biochem]
Luciferase Labeling for Multipotent Stromal Cell Tracking in Spinal Fusion Versus Ectopic Bone Tissue Engineering in Mice and Rats
Researchers investigated cell proliferation around the spine and at ectopic sites using noninvasive in vivo bioluminescence imaging in relation to new bone formation. [Tissue Eng Part A]

NIH Asks for Input on Closing Loophole in Conflict-of-Interest Rule
Responding to yet another flap about the influence of drug companies on biomedical research, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has decided it needs more time to revise its rules for policing conflicts of interest so that sanctions will move with an investigator if he or she changes institutions.
