Neural Stem Cell Research in Australia
Neural Stem Cell Research in Australia
On September 27, News-Medical.Net published an article about research by Dr Rod Rietze, head of the Queensland Brain Institute's (QBI) Laboratory for Neural Stem Cell Biology. Dr. Rietze’s research focuses on a new method of identifying the location of neural stem cells in a living body, in order to learn more about the role of neural stem cells.
The QBI website gives more detail on the research. Researchers were able to create a functional neural stem cell from an adult mouse brain. They have now created a cell sorting facility to establish pure strains of cells and use various technologies, including microarray technology to work at the molecular level. The goal is to understand how neural stem cells are generated and how their actions are regulated in adult bodies.
Looks interesting, and I’ll keep my eye on this facility.

interesting how Australia is among the top nations in Stem Cell Research. I see a lot of good research coming out of there.
I HAVE A SON IN WHEELCHAIR C5/6 I LIVE IN QUEENSLAND IN AUSTRALIA AND EVERYTHING VERY SECRETIVE NOT ANYTHING PUBLISHED I WAS ON TO UNIVERSITY OF BRISBANE AND THEY ARE NOT SAYING ANYTHING.
ANY INFORMATING IS GREAT.
