: p) H0 `& K% E4 t7 q$ F"Even though LSCs are like a needle in a haystack, their unique properties influence whether AML will respond to therapy or whether the disease comes back. This means that future efforts to prevent the disease from recurring and improving overall patient survival must consider ways to target LSCs to ensure they are killed."-- Principal investigator John Dick, a Senior Scientist at the McEwen Centre for Regenerative Medicine and the Ontario Cancer Institute.

The lincRNAs are the sergeants that coordinate the proteins into a coherent response.”--Mitchell Guttman from the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard.

5 b3 B5 q0 b9 z  @"The interesting thing was that a modest exercise program was able to significantly increase blood cells in the marrow and in circulation. What we're suggesting is that exercise is a potent stimulus ‐‐ enough of a stimulus to actually trigger a switch in these mesenchymal stem cells...Some of the impact of exercise is comparable to what we see with pharmaceutical intervention. Exercise has the ability to impact stem cell biology. It has the ability to influence how they differentiate."--Parise, an McMaster associate professor.

"If we can get these fat cells in the skin to talk to the dormant stem cells at the base of hair follicles, we might be able to get hair to grow again...Bodies have the natural ability to repair themselves in general, so if we can somehow capitalize on that and make that better, then I feel like we can prevent disease." -- Valerie Horsley, assistant professor of  molecular, cellular and developmental biology of Yale University.: B+ n/ P; ^$ \6 _1 Q+ [  V

"We need to be assured of safety before we can progress to trying to test the effects of this therapy.Because this is the first time this type of cell therapy has been used in humans, it's vitally important that we determine that it's safe to proceed ‐ so at the present time we have the clearance to proceed to the next higher dose of cells."--Prof Keith Muir of Glasgow University.

“This is the first time that it has been possible to grow single colon stem cells in lab-plates and to derive human intestinal stem cell lines in defined conditions in a lab setting.” -- Institute for Research in Biomedicine Barcelona researcher Peter Jung.9 `. m) T( f% P$ d; d

; a* g; Z0 x# o4 [; M"The best way to manage extinctions is to preserve species and their habitats, but that's not working all the time. Stem cell technology provides some level of hope that they won't have to become extinct even though they've been completely eliminated from their habitats. I think that if humankind wants to save this species, we're going to have to develop new methodologies."--Oliver Ryder, PhD, the director of genetics at the San Diego Zoo Institute for Conservation Research.
