With few factors, adult cells take on character of embryonic stem cells
With the introduction of just four factors, researchers have successfully induced differentiated cells taken from mouse embryos or adult mice to behave like embryonic stem cells. The researchers reported their findings in an immediate early publication of the journal Cell. view more (2006-08-11)
Adult stem cell injections may reduce pain and improve walking in severe angina patients
Preliminary data presented on March 28 as a late-breaking abstract at the American College of Cardiology's 58th annual scientific session from the largest CD34+ adult stem cell study for heart disease has shown the first evidence that delivering a potent form of autologous (from the patient) adult stem cells into the heart muscle of patients with... view more...

Researchers discover stem cell 'guide' that may be key for targeting neural stem cell treatments
UC Irvine School of Medicine researchers have discovered how new neurons born from endogenous neural stem cells are sent to regions of the brain where they can replace old and dying cells, a finding that suggests how stem cell therapies can be specifically targeted to brain regions affected by neurodegenerative diseases or by stroke. view more (2005-06-24)
Human embryonic stem cells display a unique pattern of chemical modification to DNA
Scientists from the Burnham Institute for Medical Research (BIMR) and Illumina Inc., in collaboration with stem cell researchers around the world, have found that the DNA of human embryonic stem cells is chemically modified in a characteristic, predictable pattern. view more (2006-08-07)
Similar stem cells in insect and human gut
Scientists at the Carnegie Institution's Department of Embryology have found that adult fruitflies have the same stem cells controlling cell regulation in their gut as humans do. view more (2005-12-08)
Technique to arrest urinary incontinence
The University Hospital of Navarra is to carry out clinical trials for urinary incontinence using the intraurethral injection of myoblasts (adult stem cells obtained by means of a biopsy of the patient). view more (2006-10-04)
Adult stem cells may be beneficial for certain cardiovascular disorders and autoimmune diseases
A review of previously published research suggests that stem cells harvested from an adult's blood or marrow may provide treatment benefit to select patients for some autoimmune diseases and cardiovascular disorders. view more (2008-02-27)
An inexhaustible source of neural cells
Research scientists in Bonn have succeeded in deriving so-called brain stem cells from human embryonic stem cells. These can not only be conserved almost indefinitely in culture, but can also serve as an inexhaustible source of diverse types of neural cell. view more (2009-02-17)
Scientists Find Stem Cells For the First Time in the Pituitary
A team of researchers led by scientists at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory have for the first time identified stem cells that allow the pituitary glands of mice to grow even after birth. view more (2008-04-29)
MIT bioengineer advances survival, promise of adult stem cells
MIT researchers have developed a technique to encourage the survival and growth of adult stem cells, a step that could help realize the therapeutic potential of such cells. view more (2007-02-28)
Master switches found for adult blood stem cells
Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center scientists have found a set of "master switches" that keep adult blood-forming stem cells in their primitive state. view more (2007-02-12)
Researchers link early stem cell mutation to autism
In a breakthrough scientific study published today in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, scientists at the Burnham Institute for Medical Research have shown that neural stem cell development may be linked to Autism. view more (2008-07-01)
Cancer stem cells can go it alone
At the heart of most, if not all cancers, lie a handful of wayward stem cells that feed the ever growing tumor mass, but their scarcity make it difficult for scientists to study them. view more (2007-06-12)
The stem cells that weren't there
Diabetes researchers, investigating how the body supplies itself with insulin, discovered to their surprise that adult stem cells, which they expected to play a crucial role in the process, were nowhere to be found. view more (2007-05-08)
Rice University's Baker Institute experts available to discuss stem cell research, recommendations
Rice University's Baker Institute has experts available to discuss the current debate on United States' embryonic stem cell policy. view more (2009-02-18)
Sperm created in the laboratory from embryonic stem cells produce viable progeny
Scientists have demonstrated for the first time that embryonic stem (ES) cells cultured in the laboratory can produce sperm with the capacity to produce viable offspring. view more (2006-07-12)
Stem cells - a cure for fatal muscular dystrophy
The diagnosis 'muscular dystrophy' is usually tantamount to a death sentence for those affected. One in three thousand male babies suffer from this incurable hereditary disease. The progress of the disease can only be slowed down through physiotherapy and medication. Scientists at Bonn University and at Pittsburgh Children's Hospital (USA) have... view more... (2002-07-04)
Adult human neural stem cell therapy successful in treating spinal cord injury
Researchers at the UC Irvine Reeve-Irvine Research Center have used adult human neural stem cells to successfully regenerate damaged spinal cord tissue and improve mobility in mice. view more (2005-09-20)
Scientists can now differentiate between healthy cells and cancer cells
One of the current handicaps of cancer treatments is the difficulty of aiming these treatments at destroying malignant cells without killing healthy cells in the process. view more (2009-01-06)
Researchers identify genes that allow brain cancer-causing stem cells to resist treatment
While great interest has followed the discovery of neural stem cells and their potential for someday treating diseases and injuries of the brain and spinal cord, recent research identified "cancer stem cells," a small population of cells that appear to be the source of cells comprising a malignant brain tumor. view more (2006-12-18)
