Not all Stem Cells are Equally Efficient for Use in Regenerative Medicine

Scientists at the University of Granada and Alcala de Henares University have concluded that, contrary to what was thought, only a specific group of cord blood stem cells (CB-SC) maintained in culture are useful for therapeutic purposes. This research study was recently published in the prestigious journal Tissue Engineering.

Researchers demonstrate that a saliva analysis can reveal decision-making skills

University of Granada researchers have found that, in a stressful situation, people who are not skilled in decision-making have greater cortisol levels (the stress hormone) in saliva than people highly skilled in decision-making. This paper has been recently published in the prestigious journal Psychoneuroendocrinology. A study conducted by researchers at the University of Granada Group… Seguir Leyendo Researchers demonstrate that a saliva analysis can reveal decision-making skills
