Tissue regeneration operates differently than expected
Scientists from the Max Planck Institute for Heart and Lung Research in Bad Nauheim, Germany, in co-operation with colleagues from Martin Luther University in Halle-Wittenberg, have now shown that skeletal muscle tissue can fuse with adult stem cells, via a mechanism based on the participation of mediators which are generally involved in immune... view more...

MIT: Stem-cell therapies for brain more complicated than thought
An MIT research team's latest finding suggests that stem cell therapies for the brain could be much more complicated than previously thought. view more (2007-11-28)
Stanford scientists turn adult skin cells into muscle and vice versa
In a study featured on the cover of the May issue of The FASEB Journal, researchers describe how they are able to reprogram human adult skin cells into other cell types in order to decipher the elusive mechanisms underlying reprogramming. view more (2009-04-30)
Bone marrow cell transplants help nerve regeneration
A study carried out by researchers at the Kyoto University School of Medicine and published in the current issue of CELL TRANSPLANTATION (Vol.16 No. 8) has shown that when transplanted bone marrow cells (BMCs) containing adult stem cells are protected by a 15mm silicon tube and nourished with bio-engineered materials, they successfully help... view more...

Post brain injury: New nerve cells originate from neural stem cells
Most cells in the human brain are not nerve cells, but supporting cells (glial cells). They serve as a framework for nerve cells and play an important role in the wound reaction that occurs with injuries to the brain. view more (2008-03-12)
Stem cell research puts interstate rivalry on hold
Victoria and New South Wales have put aside their competitive interstate rivalry to collaborate on a stem cell research project, as announced by Innovation Minister Gavin Jennings and NSW Minister for Science and Medical Research, Verity Firth, today. view more (2008-09-04)
A step forward in stem cell research
According to research published today, investigators from Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) have used new techniques in the laboratory that allowed them for the first time to derive unlimited numbers of purified mesenchymal precursor cells from human embryonic stem cells (HESCs). view more (2005-06-27)
Forsyth scientists gain new understanding of adult stem cell regulation
Forsyth Institute scientists have discovered an important mechanism for controlling the behavior of adult stem cells. Research with the flatworm, planaria, found a novel role for the proteins involved in cell-to-cell communication. view more (2007-08-01)
Stem cell therapy successfully treats heart attack in animals
Final results of a study conducted at Johns Hopkins show that stem cell therapy can be used effectively to treat heart attacks, or myocardial infarction, in pigs. view more (2005-07-26)
Heart derived stem cells develop into heart muscle
Dutch researchers at University Medical Center Utrecht and the Hubrecht Institute have succeeded in growing large numbers of stem cells from adult human hearts into new heart muscle cells. view more (2008-04-24)
When is a stem cell not really a stem cell?
Working with embryonic mouse brains, a team of Johns Hopkins scientists seems to have discovered an almost-too-easy way to distinguish between "true" neural stem cells and similar, but less potent versions. view more (2007-08-27)
Stem cells speed growth of healthy liver tissue
For the first time, researchers have used adult bone marrow stem cells to regenerate healthy human liver tissue, according to a study published in the April issue of the journal Radiology. view more (2007-03-27)
Progress being made in exploring potential use of stem cells to treat heart disease
Scientists are making headway in exploring the potential future use of stem cells to treat heart disease, according to a review article in the current issue of Nature (June 29, 2006). view more (2006-06-29)
Researchers Find Defects in Adult Stem Cell Niche May Cause Breast Cancer
Researchers at Georgetown's Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center have found that the onset of breast cancer may be due to defects in somatic adult stem cell niches that exist long before tumors develop. view more (2005-10-05)
Eye cells believed to be retinal stem cells are misidentified
Cells isolated from the eye that many scientists believed were retinal stem cells are, in fact, normal adult cells, investigators at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital have found. view more (2009-03-31)
Stem cell breakthrough gives new hope to sufferers of muscle-wasting diseases
An experimental procedure that dramatically strengthens stem cells' ability to regenerate damaged tissue could offer new hope to sufferers of muscle-wasting diseases such as myopathy and muscular dystrophy, according to researchers from the University of New South Wales (UNSW). view more (2009-03-05)
Stem cells transplanted to female foetus
A Swedish case where a certain type of stem cells has been transplanted to a foetus with a serious disease, was made public today. The results suggest that fetal mesenchymal stem cells may be a valuable source for transplantation and cell therapies. view more (2004-12-17)
Want a reason to love your lower belly fat? It's rich in stem cells
Fat removed from the lower abdomen and inner thigh through liposuction was found to be an excellent source of stem cells, with higher stem cell concentrations than other areas of the body. view more (2008-07-24)
Tapping into spinal cures
Stem cells which give rise to vertebrae, muscle and the spinal cord have been identified for the first time by Dr. Valerie Wilson (University of Edinburgh). "These axial stem cells could be used in the future to help replace damaged tissues after back injuries", says Dr. Wilson who will be presenting her work at the Society for... view more...

U-M researchers dispute widely held ideas about stem cells
How do adult stem cells protect themselves from accumulating genetic mutations that can lead to cancer? view more (2007-08-30)
