Hebrew University researchers neutralize tumor growth in embryonic stem cell therapy
Researchers at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem have discovered a method to potentially eliminate the tumor-risk factor in utilizing human embryonic stem cells. view more (2009-05-07)
Researchers discover 'sticky' proteins fuse adult stem cells to cardiac muscle, repairing hearts
Cardiologists are increasingly using adult stem cells in clinical trials to repair hearts following heart attacks, but no one has understood how the therapy actually works. view more (2007-02-16)
Adult stem cell changes underlie rare genetic disease associated with accelerated aging
Adult stem cells may provide an explanation for the cause of a Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome (HGPS), a rare disease that causes premature aging in children, according to researchers at the National Cancer Institute (NCI), part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). view more (2008-03-03)
Recipe for cell reprogramming adds protein
A drug-like molecule called Wnt can be substituted for the cancer gene c-Myc, one of four genes added to adult cells to reprogram them to an embryonic-stem-cell-like state. view more (2008-08-07)
USC stem cell study sheds new light on cell mechanism
Research from the University of Southern California (USC) has discovered a new mechanism to allow embryonic stem cells to divide indefinitely and remain undifferentiated. view more (2008-05-22)
'It is time for scientists to make the case for stem-cell research' (p 113)
Stem-cell research-and its political, legal, and ethical implications-is the theme of this week's issue of THE LANCET. An editorial comments how scientists need to step forward and engage the public to make the case for the future benefits of stem-cell research. 'But convincing critics of the value of embryonic stem cells poses especially... view more... (2004-07-07)
Stem cells found in adult hair follicles may provide alternative to embryonic stem cells
Having recently identified the molecular signature of these epidermal neural crest stem cells in the mouse, their research resolves conflicting scientific opinions by showing that these cells are distinctly different from other types of skin-resident stem cells/progenitors. Their work provides a valuable resource for future mouse neural crest stem... view more... (2006-12-12)
Scientists make first step towards growing human lungs for transplant
Scientists have successfully converted human embryonic stem cells into lung cells, taking a first step towards building human lungs for transplantation. view more (2005-08-23)
Researchers devise new technique for creating human stem cells
Researchers have developed a new technique for creating human embryonic stem cells by fusing adult somatic cells with embryonic stem cells. view more (2005-08-23)
Mount Sinai Hospital researcher develops Canada's first embryonic stem cell lines
A senior scientist at Mount Sinai Hospital has developed Canada's first two human embryonic stem cell lines, giving researchers across the country new potential and hope for eventually discovering treatments and cures for many chronic and fatal diseases. view more (2005-06-08)
Researchers piggyback to safer reprogrammed stem cells
Austin Smith and his research team at the Centre for Stem Cell Research in Cambridge have just published in the journal Development (http://dev.biologists.org/) a new and safer way of generating pluripotent stem cells - the stem cells that can give rise to every tissue of the body. view more (2009-02-27)
Don't ban embryo-based research says new chairman of European fertility organisation
The incoming chairman of an organisation representing over 4,000 international fertility experts has urged the EU not to go down the road of attempting to ban research on embryonic stem cells. Professor Arne Sunde, who takes over tomorrow as chairman of the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology, told a news briefing today (Monday... view more... (2003-06-27)
Findings advance use of adult stem cells for replacement bone
In a significant advance for regenerative medicine, researchers at Rice University have discovered a new way to culture adult stem cells from bone marrow such that the cells themselves produce a growth matrix that is rich in important biochemical growth factors. view more (2006-02-14)
Stem cell breakthrough offers diabetes hope
Scientists have discovered a new technique for turning embryonic stem cells into insulin-producing pancreatic tissue in what could prove a significant breakthrough in the quest to find new treatments for diabetes. view more (2008-04-03)
Novel stem cell technology leads to better spinal cord repair
Researchers believe they have identified a new way, using an advance in stem-cell technology, to promote recovery after spinal cord injury of rats, according to a study published in today's Journal of Biology. view more (2006-04-28)
ESC Congress 2003: Stem cell therapy for myocardial repair & regeneration
IMPORTANT: This press release accompanies both a presentation and an ESC press conference given at the ESC Congress 2003. Written by the investigator himself/herself, this press release does not necessarily reflect the opinion of the European Society of Cardiology Heart attack and the resulting heart failure is still one of the leading causes of... view more...

Isolation of a new gene family essential for early development
Researchers at BRIC, University of Copenhagen, have identified a new gene family (UTX-JMJD3) essential for embryonic development. The family controls the expression of genes crucial for stem cell maintenance and differentiation, and the results may contribute sig-nificantly to the understanding of the development of cancer. view more (2007-08-23)
Stem cells derived from adult testes produce wide range of tissue types
After a decade of research, Howard Hughes Medical Institute scientists have succeeded in reprogramming adult stem cells from the testes of male mice into functional blood vessels and contractile cardiac tissue. view more (2007-09-20)
Donor T cells change the fate of stem cells in transplantation
When a transplant patient suffers complications such as graft rejection or graft-versus-host disease, physicians attempt to stop the body's immune response by targeting a patient's T cells. view more (2006-07-13)
Hopkins scientists find cells responsible for bladder cancer's spread
Johns Hopkins scientists have tracked down a powerful set of cells in bladder tumors that seem to be primarily responsible for the cancer's growth and spread using a technique that takes advantage of similarities between tumor and organ growth. view more (2009-08-07)
