The following are earlier versions of the news panel that appears on the website Main Page.

August
News - Dolly's sisters live on! |
PMID 27459299 This recent report showed that 13 cloned sheep generated from the same cell line that produced "Dolly" and have survived much longer, appear to have health measurements within the normal ranges. |

News - Thalidomide Molecular Mechanism shown in Zebrafish |
PMID 27294876 | Nat Med. Thalidomide (and derivatives lenalidomide and pomalidomide) are treatments for hematologic malignancies, multiple myeloma (MM) and del(5q) myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). Cereblon (CRBN) is the primary target for both the anticancer and teratogenic effects, and it promotes the maturation of CD147 (also known as Basigin) a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily). Zebrafish knockdown of CD147 was shown to match the teratogenic effects of thalidomide exposure. |

News - Human Pancreas Stem Cells show Glycemic control in Mice |
PMID 26808346 | Nat Med. Implanted in the intraperitoneal space of mice treated to chemically induce type 1 diabetes. Implants induced glycemic correction without any immunosuppression until their removal at 174 d after implantation. Human C-peptide concentrations and in vivo glucose responsiveness demonstrated therapeutically relevant glycemic control and retrieved implants contained viable insulin-producing cells. |

News - Oral Contraceptives and Abnormal Development |
Oral Contraceptives A recent 2016 Danish study births from Danish registries between 1997 and 2011 identified that:

News - Maternal Malaria Neurovascular Development Effects |
Malaria (plasmodium falciparum) - 125 million pregnancies worldwide are at risk of malaria infection every year. A recent mouse model of maternal infection, without embryo infection, has shown effects on neurovasular development in the exposed offspring. (More? PMID 26402732 | Abnormal Development - Malaria | Neural | Cardiovascular) |
June
Oocyte/Spermatozoa fate decision by Primordial Germ Cells | |
Medaka Sex determination is an essential step in the commitment of a germ cell to a spermatozoa or oocyte. The intrinsic factors that determine the sexual fate of vertebrate germ cells are unknown. "foxl3 is expressed in germ cells but not somatic cells in the gonad, and has been identified as involved in sperm-egg fate decision in medaka fish. Adult XX medaka with disrupted foxl3 developed functional sperm in the expanded germinal epithelium of a histologically functional ovary. In chimeric medaka, mutant germ cells initiated spermatogenesis in female wild-type gonad. These results indicate that a germ cell-intrinsic cue for the sperm-egg fate decision is present in medaka and that spermatogenesis can proceed in a female gonadal environment." (More? PMID 26067255 | Medaka Development | Oocyte Development | Spermatozoa Development) |

Americas region is declared the world’s first to eliminate endemic transmission of rubella | |
Rubella is a contagious viral disease that can cause multiple birth defects as well as fetal death when contracted by women during pregnancy. "This achievement culminates a 15-year effort that involved widespread administration of the vaccine against measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) throughout the Western Hemisphere. The announcement comes as 45 countries and territories of the Americas are participating in the 13th annual Vaccination Week in the Americas (April 25 to May 2)." This follows the regional eradication of smallpox in 1971 and the elimination of polio in 1994.

February
Three-person embryos | |
UK government has voted to legalize a gene-therapy technique that could help women to avoid passing genetic defects onto their children.
The technique called either "mitochondrial replacement" or "three-person in vitro fertilization" intention is to prevent maternal mitochondrial mutations to be passed on to children. Its estimated that estimated 1 in 5,000 children are born with these type of diseases caused by such mutations. |

October
Hippocampus Development | |
2014 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine
John O´Keefe, May-Britt Moser and Edvard I. Moser - for their discoveries of cells that constitute a positioning system in the brain
|
July
Embryo Epigenetics | |
Embryos Reprogram their Epigenetics
Two recent studies show that after fertilisation human embryos loose DNA methylation from most of the genome. This implies that there is an early "reprogramming" or "resetting" of the embryo's epigenetic status.

June
Maternal Mortality | |
WHO - Trends in Maternal Mortality 1990 to 2013
An estimated 289,000 women died in 2013 due to complications in pregnancy and childbirth, down from 523,000 in 1990.

News - Stimulus-triggered fate conversion of somatic cells into pluripotency | |
|
Is STAP Real?
- RIKEN Panel Finds Misconduct in Reprogrammed Stem Cell Papers Science April 2014
- Japanese research institute has opened an investigation into this groundbreaking stem cell study after concerns were raised about its credibility. The RIKEN investigation follows allegations on blog sites about the use of duplicated images in Obokata’s papers, and numerous failed attempts to replicate her results. Nature

2012 Nobel Prize for Stem Cells | |
Stem Cell Signaling
The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 2012 was awarded jointly to Sir John B. Gurdon and Shinya Yamanaka "for the discovery that mature cells can be reprogrammed to become pluripotent"
