Mr. Hoffmann has written extensively about hydrogen fuel cells and their application in passenger cars.

How autoreactive T cells slip through the cracks
Immune cells capable of attacking healthy organs "see" their targets differently than do protective immune cells that attack viruses, according to work published in the Journal of Experimental Medicine.

Muscle Stem Cells Activated By Exercise
University of Illinois researchers determined that an adult stem cell present in muscle is responsive to exercise, a discovery that may provide a link between exercise and muscle health. The findings could lead to new therapeutic techniques using these cells to rehabilitate injured muscle and prevent or restore muscle loss with age. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in skeletal muscle have been ...

Brain cells created from patients' skin cells
(Medical Xpress) -- Cambridge scientists have, for the first time, created cerebral cortex cells ? those that make up the brain?s grey matter ? from a small sample of human skin.  The researchers? findings, which were funded by Alzheimer?s Research UK and the Wellcome Trust, were published today in Nature Neuroscience.

Stem Cells May Further Hepatitis C Research
TUESDAY, Jan. 31 (HealthDay News) -- Using stem cells to create liver-like cells for laboratory research may advance efforts to find out why people respond differently to hepatitis C infection, scientists say.

Exercise triggers stem cells in muscle
Researchers have determined that an adult stem cell present in muscle is responsive to exercise, a discovery that may provide a link between exercise and muscle health.

Adult stem cells testing offers promising results
I must admit that, the more I read about what stem cells -- especially adult (or 'tis-sue') stem cells that are not under the current res-trictions on the use of embryonic stem cells -- the more I am incredibly impressed at the growing successful results of the use of such stem cells, especially in trials where they have been so successful in research and testing results literally around the ...

Skin cells turned into neural precusors, bypassing stem-cell stage
Mouse skin cells can be converted directly into cells that become the three main parts of the nervous system, according to researchers. The finding is an extension of a previous study by the same group showing that mouse and human skin cells can be directly converted into functional neurons.
