New method for reprogramming body cells

TOKYO, Japan - Photo shows Haruko Obokata, a scientist at Riken's Center for Developmental Biology in Kobe. A team of scientists led by Obokata has discovered, in research conducted by scientists at the state-backed Riken institute and Harvard University, that by simply exposing body cells to acidic liquids, the cells can be reprogrammed to grow into any type of mature tissue. They named the method of generating pluripotent cells, or cells that can grow into any type of mature tissues in the body, "stimulus-triggered acquisition of pluripotency," or STAP. The discovery was announced in the Jan. 30, 2014 issue of Nature.

Japanese team replicates movement in small muscle grown from rat cells

TOKYO, Japan - University of Tokyo Professor Shoji Takeuchi holds a bottle containing an artificial joint at the university's Institute of Industrial Science in Tokyo's Meguro Ward on Oct. 24, 2014. A team led by Takeuchi has succeeded in replicating contraction and stretching in a small muscle grown from rat cells. The team attached two artificial muscle tissues to either side of a 2-centimeter-long artificial joint and was able to contract and stretch them smoothly by applying an electric stimulus.

Kate Trinajstic, the lead researcher from Curtin University's School of Molecular and Life Sciences and the Western Australian Museum, said the discovery was remarkable, given that soft tissues of ancient species were rarely preserved, and it was even rarer to find 3D preservation. "As a palaeontologist who has studied fossils for more than 20 years, I was truly amazed to find a 3D and beautifully preserved heart in a 380-million-year-old ancestor," Trinajstic said in a statement.
