By 1992 Grotendorst, who had done work at the University of South Florida and is now at the University of Miami, concluded that it was CTGF, not TGF-beta, that triggers collagen production by binding to specific cell receptors.
These disease-specific stem cell lines will also be invaluable in testing out new therapies.

The cells at this stage have not declared themselves and thus with programming can develop into a specific chosen cell line.
Only last year, she said, Egli and Paull and their colleagues demonstrated that the nuclear transfer of eggs cells could generate patient-specific stem cell lines for potential cell replacement therapy to treat diseases like diabetes.

Marketers will become entertainment producers, funding and creating films, concerts, videogames, documentaries and cell phone entertainment tailored to specific consumers.
However, as more becomes known about the relatively new field of stem cell therapy, a more specific matching system may be required, said Dr. Joon Lee, cardiologist at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center.
The researchers are now trying to develop probes which will only stick to specific types of cancer cell.
While most cancer drugs work by targeting mechanisms common to all cancers, such as cell division, PM drugs hit specific genetic mutations driving the cancer's spread.
It does hit a specific molecular target in the cell called VEGF.

Two specific types of immune system cell that attack invaders - CD4 T-cells and natural killer cells - increased in number with age, with a higher rate of increase in women than in men.
The Federal Communications Commission limits cell phone radio frequency energy emissions, called the specific absorption rate (SAR), at 1.6 watts per kilogram, as measured over one gram of tissue.

The IRS eventually reversed course and proposed more specific rules for the taxation of personal use of cell phones.
The drafted guidelines set specific criteria for research and call for establishment of a "Human Pluripotent Stem Cell Review Group, " which would document and monitor compliance.
The gene produces a molecular sensor on the T cell that is designed to latch on to a telltale protein on the surface of that specific type of cancer.
