UK leads race to produce world's first clinical grade stem cells
The University of Sheffield has received a £2.6m grant to create some of the world's first embryonic stem cell lines that can be used for medicinal purposes.   view more (2005-03-16)

U of MN researchers use human embryonic stem cells to kill cancer cells
For the first time, stem cell researchers at the University of Minnesota have coaxed human embryonic stem cells to create cancer-killing cells in the laboratory, paving the way for future treatments for various types of cancers (or tumors).   view more (2005-10-12)

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)

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)

Statement from the European Life Sciences Group
The promises and concerns engendered by stem cell research triggered debate world-wide. European citizens realise the significance of these issues and expect guidance to deal with them. The European Life Sciences Group thanks the European Commission and the European Commissioner for Research, Philippe Busquin, for arranging such a stimulating... view more... (2001-12-19)

Hopes for new cell therapies 'stem' from Sheffield
The Centre for Stem Cell Biology (CSCB) at the University of Sheffield is welcoming some of the world's leading experts to its International Human Embryonic Stem Cell Symposium on Friday 9 July 2004. The CSCB is a world-leading centre for stem cell research, and has produced two of the UK's six embryonic stem cell lines. The symposium will allow... view more... (2004-07-06)

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)

Controlling embryonic fate by association
Association determines fate in embryonic stem cells, said Baylor College of Medicine researchers in a report that appears in the current issue of the journal Nature Cell Biology.   view more (2008-05-05)

Minimal cocktail for growing human embryonic stem cells established
Researchers at Yale have established the minimal nutritional requirements for growing and maintaining human embryonic stem cells, a recipe that is critical for clinical application and for developmental studies.   view more (2006-03-28)

Another boost for stem cell research
In the wake of the Senate's decision to pass the human embryo cloning legislation, another Australian research breakthrough is likely to strengthen the case for embryonic stem cell research.   view more (2006-11-16)

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)

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)

Researchers discover important tool in understanding differentiation in human embryonic stem cells
Researchers at the University of Minnesota's Stem Cell Institute have described how an existing genetic tool can be used to study how human embryonic stem cells differentiate. The research appears in the November 2007 issue of Experimental Biology and Medicine.   view more (2007-10-25)

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.   view more (2006-08-25)

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)

Scientists discover stage at which an embryonic cell is fated to become a stem cell
Cambridge scientists have discovered the stage at which some of the cells of a fertilised mammalian egg are fated to develop into stem cells and why this occurs.   view more (2007-01-11)

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)

Stem cell research puts interstate rivalry on hold
Victoria and New South Wales have put aside their competitive interstate rivalry to collaborate on a stem cell research project, as announced by Innovation Minister Gavin Jennings and NSW Minister for Science and Medical Research, Verity Firth, today.   view more (2008-09-04)

Liquid crystals show promise in controlling embryonic stem cells
Liquid crystals, the same phase-shifting materials used to display information on cell phones, monitors and other electronic equipment, can also be used to report in real time on the differentiation of embryonic stem cells.   view more (2006-03-08)

Stem cell surprise for tissue regeneration
Scientists working at the Carnegie Institution's Department of Embryology, with colleagues, have overturned previous research that identified critical genes for making muscle stem cells.   view more (2009-06-25)
