The development of stem cells -- not only which and where but also WHEN
Yet another stride has been taken on the road to knowledge about the development of the nervous system. For the first time factors have been uncovered that decide when a cell is to develop into another cell. During the last ten years much progress has been made in finding out what determines how... view more (2003-03-20)

Neural Stem Cells Are Long-Lived
New studies in mice have shown that immature stem cells that proliferate to form brain tissues can function for at least a year - most of the life span of a mouse - and give rise to multiple types of neural cells, not just neurons.   view more (2005-10-06)

Teamwork between 2 key proteins necessary for normal development and regulation of red blood cells
Virginia Commonwealth University researchers studying hemoglobin genes, mutations of which play a role in genetic blood disorders like sickle cell anemia and beta-thalassemia, have identified two proteins that are responsible for regulating overlapping groups of genes during the development of red... view more (2007-08-07)

Harvard scientists identify compounds that stimulate stem cell growth in the brain
cientists at Harvard University have identified key compounds that stimulate stem cell growth in the brain, which may one day lead to restored function for people affected by Parkinson's disease, strokes, multiple sclerosis, and a wide range of neurological disorders.   view more (2006-09-01)

New use for stem cells found in war on terrorism
For more than a decade, Steve Stice has dedicated his research using embryonic stem cells to improving the lives of people with degenerative diseases and debilitating injuries. His most recent discovery, which produces billions of neural cells from a few stem cells, could now aid in national... view more (2007-09-26)

Hair-raising stem cells identified
Using an animal model, a research team led by Yann Barrandon at the EPFL (Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne) and the CHUV (Lausanne University Hospital) has discovered that certain cells inside the hair follicle are true multipotent stem cells, capable of developing into the many different... view more (2005-10-05)

Cancer stem cells: know thine enemy
Stem cells -- popularly known as a source of biological rejuvenation -- may play harmful roles in the body, specifically in the growth and spread of cancer.   view more (2007-12-26)

Clinical study results using Aldagen's product to isolate cord blood stem cells presented at ASH
Aldagen, Inc. today announced the presentation of data from a clinical trial using its ALDESORT® product to isolate stem cells from cord blood. The trial is being conducted by Joanne Kurtzberg, MD, the Duke University physician who pioneered the use of umbilical cord blood as a treatment for... view more (2006-12-12)

Stem cell therapy for spinal injury
Researchers at Karolinska Institutet have shown how the transplantation of stem cells improves recovery from spinal injury. However, a painful condition can also develop, which can be prevented if the stem cells are supplemented with a certain gene that controls their maturing process. The results... view more (2005-02-13)

UCI researchers discover key factor for survival of human embryonic stem cells
Human embryonic stem cells (hES) offer great hope for the treatment of some devastating diseases, but finding a way to keep enough of these cells usable and healthy for transplantation in patients has been an ongoing problem.   view more (2006-02-17)

Healing potential discovered in everyday human brain cells
University of Florida researchers have shown ordinary human brain cells may share the prized qualities of self-renewal and adaptability normally associated with stem cells.   view more (2006-08-17)

Childhood brain tumor traced to normal stem cells gone bad
An aggressive childhood brain tumor known as medulloblastoma originates in normal brain "stem" cells that turn malignant when acted on by a known mutant, cancer-causing oncogene, say researchers from Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF).   view more (2008-08-12)

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)

Clues to breast cancer hidden inside stem cells
Stem cells and how to boost them is hot on the research agenda. But stopping them could be critical too, as evidence implicating stem cells in cancer is mounting.   view more (2006-04-25)

Cancer is a stem cell issue
There is an urgent reason to study stem cells: stem cells are at the heart of some, if not all, cancers.   view more (2007-02-20)

Cancer stem cells similar to normal stem cells can thwart anti-cancer agents
Current cancer therapies often succeed at initially eliminating the bulk of the disease, including all rapidly proliferating cells, but are eventually thwarted because they cannot eliminate a small reservoir of multiple-drug-resistant tumor cells, called cancer stem cells, which ultimately become... view more (2007-06-18)

Blood Stem Cell Transplantation and Autoimmune Diseases
Study of Lupus Patient Confirms Promise of Stem Cell Transplant Therapy   view more (2002-05-30)

Parkinson's approach with stem cells a promising first step
Brain cells derived from human embryonic stem cells improved the condition of rats with Parkinson's-like symptoms dramatically, but the treatment caused a significant problem - the appearance of brain tumors - that scientists are now working to solve.   view more (2006-12-04)

Can you hear me now? Stem cells enhance hearing recovery
Researchers have shown that bone marrow stem cells injected into a damaged inner ear can speed hearing recovery after partial hearing loss.   view more (2007-06-25)

Natural protein stops deadly human brain cancer in mice
Scientists from Johns Hopkins and from the University of Milan have effectively proven that they can inhibit lethal human brain cancers in mice using a protein that selectively induces positive changes in the activity of cells that behave like cancer stem cells.   view more (2006-12-08)

Nerve cells derived from stem cells and transplanted into mice may lead to improved brain treatments
Scientists at the Burnham Institute for Medical Research have, for the first time, genetically programmed embryonic stem (ES) cells to become nerve cells when transplanted into the brain, according to a study published today in The Journal of Neuroscience.   view more (2008-06-25)

Stem cells in adult testes provide alternative to embryonic stem cells for organ regeneration
Easily accessed and plentiful, adult stem cells found in a male patient's testicles might someday be used to create a wide range of tissue types to help him fight disease -- getting around the need for more controversial embryonic stem cells.   view more (2007-09-20)

USC researchers identify mechanism that controls activation of stem cells during hair regeneration
Researchers at the University of Southern California (USC) have identified a novel cyclic signaling in the dermis that coordinates stem cell activity and regulates regeneration in large populations of hairs in animal models.   view more (2008-01-17)

The sturdier sex? — Study by Pittsburgh scientists finds female stem cells work better
Female stem cells derived from muscle have a greater ability to regenerate skeletal muscle tissue than male cells, according to a study at Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh of UPMC.   view more (2007-04-10)

Putting stem cell research on the fast track
Engineers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute have developed tools to help solve two of the main problems slowing the progress of stem cell research - how to quickly test stem cell response to different drugs or genes, and how to create a large supply of healthy, viable stem cells to study from... view more (2007-09-13)
