Potential diagnostic marker indicates effectiveness of anti-angiogenic drugs
If an anti-angiogenic drug is successfully starving a cancer patient's tumor to death, the number of endothelial cells circulating in the individual's bloodstream will decrease, thus providing a potential biomarker for gauging the medication's effectiveness. view more (2006-09-18)
Small protein may have big role in making more bone and less fat
A small protein may have a big role in helping you make more bone and less fat, researchers say. view more (2008-07-02)
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)
Adult stem cell application effective in treatment of peripheric vascular disease
Multipotent adult progenitor stem cells extracted from bone marrow, and known as MAPCs, have proved to be effective in the regeneration of blood vessel tissue and also in muscle tissue when treating peripheric vascular disease. view more (2008-01-25)
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)
Researchers reveal how long-term use of anti-inflammatory medication can cause osteoporosis
The steroid hormones glucocorticoids (GCs) are used at high doses to treat inflammatory and immune disorders, however they prompt bone loss and can cause osteoporosis, particularly when administered for prolonged periods. view more (2006-07-28)
Cancer cells in blood can identify risk of recurrence in breast cancer
Cancer cells circulating in the blood, or circulating tumour cells (CTCs), are known to be associated with a bad prognosis in women with metastatic breast cancer. view more (2007-09-25)
U of MN adult stem cell research shows promise for transplant therapies
University of Minnesota stem cell researchers, together with collaborators at Stanford University, have successfully used adult stem cells to replace the immune system and bone marrow of mice, offering the promise of new therapies for people in the future. view more (2007-01-16)
Heart and lung transplants hampered by donor shortages and unchanged death rates
Optimism about the success of heart and lung transplants at the start of the 1990s is not supported by the evidence, shows an audit of the procedure, published in Heart. view more (2002-04-15)
UC Davis researchers exploring gene therapy to fight AIDS
The apparent success of a case in which German doctors cured a man of AIDS using a bone marrow transplant comes as no surprise to Gerhard Bauer, a UC Davis stem cell researcher. view more (2008-12-08)
First case of successful ovarian tissue transplantation between two, nonidentical sisters
A woman, whose ovaries had failed due to damage caused by chemotherapy and radiotherapy, has received a successful ovarian transplant from her genetically non-identical sister. view more (2007-08-02)
Penn's Abramson Cancer Center part of major phase III study for myeloma
Researchers from the Abramson Cancer Center of the University of Pennsylvania announced today that findings from two large, international clinical trials show unprecedented survival for patients with multiple myeloma, a cancer that occurs in the blood-making cells of bone marrow. view more (2007-11-26)
Research shows cell's inactive state is critical for effectiveness of cancer treatment
A new study sheds light on a little understood biological process called quiescence, which enables blood-forming stem cells to exist in a dormant or inactive state in which they are not growing or dividing. view more (2009-01-12)
Bisphosphonate drugs reduce the risk of broken bones in breast cancer patients
Bisphosphonate drugs reduce the risk of bone complications when used in patients whose cancer has spread to the bone, according to a new study in the BMJ. view more (2003-08-29)
Discoveries may advance stem cell therapy for Parkinson's, cancer patients
Two studies in the Jan. 27, 2006 Cell have yielded evidence that could prove a boon for stem cell therapies aimed at patients with Parkinson's disease and those with compromised immune systems due to intensive cancer therapy or autoimmune disease, according to researchers. view more (2006-01-27)
Master regulatory gene found that guides fate of blood-producing stem cells
Researchers from the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine found that a protein called NF-Ya activates several genes known to regulate the development of hematopoietic stem cells (HSC), or blood-producing stem cells, in bone marrow. view more (2005-08-02)
Potential autoimmunity-inducing cells found in healthy adults
It's not just patients with autoimmune diseases like lupus and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) that have self-attacking immune cells-healthy people have them too, according to a new report in the Journal of Experimental Medicine. view more (2008-12-22)
Researchers grow human blood vessels in mice from adult progenitor cells
For the first time, researchers have successfully grown functional human blood vessels in mice using cells from adult human donors - an important step in developing clinical strategies to grow tissue, researchers report in Circulation Research: Journal of the American Heart Association. view more (2008-07-21)
Role for proteomics in identifying hematologic malignancies
Scientists have identified a set of biomarkers that could help clinicians identify a group of hematologic malignancies known as myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), which affect approximately 300,000 individuals worldwide and often progress to acute myeloid leukemia. view more (2007-01-11)
Study points toward relationship between cancer stem cells and prognosis in primary breast cancer
Breast cancer patients who received chemotherapy prior to surgery had heightened levels of cancer-initiating stem cells in their bone marrow, and the level of such cells correlated to a tumor's lymph node involvement, according to research from The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center. view more (2009-05-15)
