Medical College of Wisconsin study finds drug may limit radiation kidney damage in BMT patients
Researchers at the Medical College of Wisconsin in Milwaukee have found that the risk of radiation injury in normal tissue after exposure may be reduced by a drug in common use. view more (2007-11-15)
Rare Domino Transplant Allows Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh and UPMC Surgeons to Save Two Lives With One Deceased Donation
Transplant surgeons at Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh and UPMC have saved two patients with life-threatening liver conditions utilizing a technique known as a domino transplant. It is only the nation's second domino transplant involving a patient with maple syrup urine disease (MSUD). view more (2006-10-04)
Cell therapy slows progression of an inherited neurological disease; Improves motor skills in mice
In an important discovery, scientists have demonstrated that the progression of a type of genetic brain disease is slowed and symptoms are improved in mice that received cell transplants. view more (2006-03-23)
Mice regain ability to extend telomeres suggesting potential for dyskeratosis congenita therapy
The human genetic disease dyskeratosis congenita (DKC) is an autosomal dominant disease that leads to abnormalities in tissues with a rapid cell turnover - the skin, nails, bone marrow, lungs and gut. view more (2009-10-19)
New evidence that green tea may help improve bone health
Researchers in Hong Kong are reporting new evidence that green tea - one of the most popular beverages consumed worldwide and now available as a dietary supplement - may help improve bone health. view more (2009-09-17)
Cold Spring Harbor Protocols features tissue culture methods for immune cells and neurons
The complexity of vital organ systems makes them difficult to study in living organisms. Tissue culture methods for specific cell types allow researchers to break these systems down into component parts that can be readily manipulated and observed. view more (2008-12-03)

UBC research finds molecular
University of British Columbia researchers have discovered a "molecular key" that could help increase the success of blood stem cell transplants, a procedure currently used to treat diseases such as leukemia, Hodgkin's lymphoma and aplastic anemia. view more (2009-04-23)
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)
Stem cell research to benefit horse owners and trainers
In a potential breakthrough for the performance horse industry (such as racing and polo), Melbourne scientists are aiming to harness stem cells to repair tendon, ligament, cartilage and bone damage in horses. view more (2008-10-21)
Orthogem Ltd raises £250,000 for synthetic bone graft material
Orthogem Ltd has closed a funding round of £250,000 to develop its innovative synthetic bone graft material. A substantial part of the finance has been raised from business angel investors in The Oxfordshire Investment Opportunity Network (OION), Europe's most successful business angel network. Additional amounts have been secured from a mix... view more... (2003-05-23)
Effects of aging in stem cells
There is little disagreement that the body's maintenance and repair systems deteriorate with age, even as there is plenty of disagreement as to why. view more (2007-07-24)
New method shows it is possible to grow bone for grafts within a patient's body
An international team of biomedical engineers has demonstrated for the first time that it is possible to grow healthy new bone reliably in one part of the body and use it to repair damaged bone at a different location. view more (2005-07-26)
Stanford study of sea squirt provides clue to human immune system
Until now, no one had demonstrated any concrete similarity between the vertebrate and invertebrate immune systems. The ramifications of the finding may shed light not only on the evolution of our immune system, but also on how we might better control some aspects of it, such as our natural killer cells. view more (2005-11-28)
New CT technology shows anorexia impairs adolescent bone development
Children and teenagers with even mild cases of anorexia exhibit abnormal bone structure, according to a new study appearing in the December issue of Radiology and presented at the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA). view more (2008-11-18)
Drug inhibits neuroblastoma blood supply in pre-clinical tests
Researchers from the Children's Cancer Hospital at The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center have found a way to prevent blood vessels from aiding the growth of neuroblastoma, a childhood cancer. view more (2009-04-27)
New U of T strategy will boost cord blood stem cells
A team of bioengineers led by the University of Toronto has discovered a way to increase the yield of stem cells from umbilical cord blood, to an extent which could broaden therapeutic use of these cells. view more (2005-10-19)
AJCN study shows moderate alcohol consumption related to stronger bones

Long distance runners at risk of low bone density
Long distance running increases the risk of low bone density, shows research in the British Journal of Sports Medicine. Accepted wisdom is that running, as a weight bearing exercise, increases bone density and therefore reduces the risk of osteoporosis and bone fracture. view more (2003-01-24)
Insights into osteosarcoma in cats and dogs may improve palliative care
Researchers at the University of Illinois have found that a molecular pathway known to have a role in the progression of bone cancer in humans is also critical to the pathology of skeletal tumors in dogs and cats. view more (2007-03-02)
