Perspectives on the properties of stem cells
Article Abstract:
The introduction of the concept of plasticity is a good example of the general impact of stem cells throughout biology and medicine. Several debates and controversies on the issue of stem cells with reference to the innovation, means to regenerate damaged organs, enormous publicity and potential of adult bone marrow cells to transform into other cell types are presented.

Inositol- and folate-resistance neural tube defects in mice lacking the epithelial-specific factor Grhl-3
Article Abstract:
Grainyhead-like-3 (Grhl3) gene, responsible for curly tail (ct/ct) phenotype in mouse mutant is experimentally identified. Results indicate that Grhl3 expression in ct/ct mice may be necessary for inositol rescue of folate-resistant neural tube defects (NTDs).
