Umbilical cord could be new source of plentiful stem cells, say Pitt researchers
(22 Dec 2009)
Banking cords, as well as cord blood, may be invaluable
Stem cells that could one day provide therapeutic options for muscle and bone disorders can be easily harvested from the tissue of the umbilical cord, just as the blood that goes through it provides precursor cells to treat some blood disorders, ...

Zero in on ozone with fluorescent solution that detects harmful molecule in air and body
(26 Jun 2009)
Personal ozone detectors and biomedical indicators could result from a chemical probe that glows bright green when exposed to ozone
Researchers at the University of Pittsburgh have developed a fluorescent substance that glows bright green when exposed to even minute amounts of ozone in the air and in biological samples such as human lung cells. A molecule consisting of three ...
