Science researcher C. David Allis is head of the Laboratory of Chromatin Biology and Epigenetics at Rockefeller University, and he has been awarded a $1 million grant from the Starr Cancer Consortium. As the leader of one of five cancer research teams from New York City based members of the consortium, Allis was one of 27 people to submit a grant application and a member of one of five collaborative cancer research teams selected as a winner. The Starr Cancer Consortium gave out a total of $5 million dollars over two years.

As life science researchers find more and more applications for laboratory-grown cells, methods for cultivating a large amount of cells quickly are becoming more and more valuable. Looking beyond the basic criteria like temperature and sustenance, bioengineers at Ohio State University are finding that the surface cells are grown on makes a dramatic difference in their rate of growth.

Funded in part by grants from the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine and the NIH, researchers at the University of California, San Diego have come up with a simple, easily repeated RNA-based technique of generating human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). The study was published in the August 1st edition of Cell Stem Cell. The researchers’ method has wide-ranging applications for others searching for new cell therapies and use in other stem cell studies.

Despite its effectiveness and potency, chemotherapy is highly disputed because at its base level, it’s exposing the body to high amounts of radiation. In some cases, the amount of radiation needed to kill a cancerous tumor is more than the human body can take. At the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, researchers are working to change this by making humans more resistant to chemotherapy.
