Immune therapy can protect against or treat later lymphoma
Specially developed immune system cells that target the common Epstein-Barr virus can protect immune-suppressed bone marrow transplant recipients against lymph system disease and cancers that arise from the viral infection. view more (2009-11-03)
Bone marrow hope for heart sufferers
New hope for sufferers of heart disease is possible, after research led by a University of Leicester surgeon indicates that bone marrow cells injected into a heart can help repair damage from a heart attack. view more (2002-11-27)
Children's national co-leads nationwide study of landmark sickle cell treatment
Children's National Medical Center immunologist and blood and marrow transplant physician Naynesh Kamani, MD, will serve as the study co-chair for a new national clinical trial of unrelated donor marrow and umbilical cord blood transplants for severe sickle cell disease. view more (2008-08-19)
Researchers first to map gene that regulates adult stem cell growth
A new discovery in stem cell research may mean big things for cancer patients in the future. Gary Van Zant, Ph.D., and a research team at the University of Kentucky published their findings today in Nature Genetics, an international scientific journal. view more (2007-01-15)
Drawing a crowd: How progenitor cells are recruited to tumor blood vessels from the bone marrow
Cells within the bone marrow (progenitor cells) that express a protein called CD34 have been shown to leave the marrow and travel to sites of tissue injury to mediate repair. view more (2006-02-24)
Transplants - are mice leading the way?
A new protocol for bone marrow transplants, which does not require the destruction of the recipient's immune system before transfer of the new bone marrow, is described by a group of Oxford scientists in the 6th of July issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America 1. Furthermore, Luis Gra'§a, Alain... view more... (2004-07-02)
Developing cancer treatments directed at critical developmental pathway
Researchers from the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine and colleagues discovered that the Notch signaling pathway, which determines the development of many cell types, and is also implicated in some cancers, is not universally essential for the maintenance of stem cells. view more (2008-04-11)
Scientists Discover Cause Of Leukaemia That Halted Treatment Trial For 'Baby-in-a-Bubble' Syndrome
Medical Research Council (MRC) scientists have helped establish the cause of the leukaemia which developed in two young patients taking part in a pioneering gene therapy trial to treat the fatal 'baby-in-a-bubble' syndrome, severe combined immunodeficiency (X-SCID). The trial at the Necker-Enfants Malades clinic in Paris was stopped last year due... view more... (2003-10-16)
Bone marrow cells can heal nerves in diabetes model
Transplanting cells that replenish blood vessels can also restore nerve function in an animal model of diabetic neuropathy, Emory researchers have found. view more (2009-02-05)
MGH researchers confirm that bone marrow restores fertility in female mice
A new study from Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) researchers confirms that female mice that receive bone marrow transplantation after fertility-destroying chemotherapy can go on to have successful pregnancies throughout their normal reproductive life. view more (2007-08-01)
Rare genetic disease successfully reversed using stem cell transplantation
A recent study by Scripps Research Institute scientists offers good news for families of children afflicted with the rare genetic disorder, cystinosis. view more (2009-09-18)
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)
Biomedical researchers create artificial human bone marrow in a test tube
Artificial bone marrow that can continuously make red and white blood cells has been created in a University of Michigan lab. view more (2008-12-23)
Joslin study refutes recent report that bone marrow can replenish female oocytes
Ovulated egg cells, or oocytes, in adult female mice are not formed from germ cells in the blood or bone marrow. That's the conclusion of a new study led by investigators at Joslin Diabetes Center and Harvard University. view more (2006-06-15)
ESC Congress 2004: Converting cells into heart muscle
Bone marrow derived stem cells can give rise to heart muscle cells. This plasticity concept - the ability of bone marrow cell to transdifferentiate into heart muscle cell - is supported by experimental and clinical data. Another possibility is to replace the missing function by causing transdifferentiation of existing cells. Transdifferentiation... view more... (2004-08-30)
Study identifies molecule essential for proper localization of blood stem cells
Scientists at the Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) Center for Regenerative Medicine and the Harvard Stem Cell Institute (HCSI) have defined a molecule that dictates how blood stem cells travel to the bone marrow and establish blood and immune cell production. view more (2006-01-16)
Can you hear me now? Scientists find previously unknown receptors on adult stem cells
For many years, researchers believed that stem cells in the bone marrow spent most of their existence in a slumber-like state, unaware of — and unaffected by — the daily battles fought by the body's immune system. view more (2006-06-21)
Dampened hopes for transplanting bone marrow stem cells in heart attacks
There is little, if any, evidence that adult stem cells can build other cells in an adult organism than those formed in the organs they themselves come from. At any rate, blood stem cells do not convert to heart muscle cells in a damaged heart, which was previously hoped. This has been shown by a research team from the Stem Cell Center at Lund... view more... (2004-05-06)
Bone drug could help prevent the spread of breast cancer
Maintaining bone density could be a key to decreasing the spread of cancer in women with locally advanced breast cancer, according to research at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. view more (2008-05-19)
Study shows rituximab effective in treating chronic graft-versus-host disease
A study by Dana-Farber Cancer Institute researchers offers the strongest evidence yet of the effectiveness of a novel therapy for chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), a potentially life-threatening complication of donor bone marrow and stem cell transplants. view more (2006-03-27)
