US trails other countries in publishing embryonic stem cell studies, Stanford researcher finds
The fear that U.S. researchers might lose ground to their international counterparts in carrying out human embryonic stem cell research now appears to have become a fact. view more (2006-04-10)
Stem cell success points to way to regenerate parathyroid glands
An early laboratory success is taking University of Michigan researchers a step closer to parathyroid gland transplants that could one day prevent a currently untreatable form of bone loss associated with thyroid surgery. view more (2009-09-30)
New way to make stem cells avoids risk of cancer
A team of scientists has advanced stem cell research by finding a way to endow human skin cells with embryonic stem cell-like properties without inserting potentially problematic new genes into their DNA. view more (2009-03-27)
UCLA researchers develop T-cells from human embryonic stem cells
Researchers from the UCLA AIDS Institute and the Institute for Stem Cell Biology and Medicine have demonstrated for the first time that human embryonic stem cells can be genetically manipulated and coaxed to develop into mature T-cells, raising hopes for a gene therapy to combat AIDS. view more (2006-07-05)
Small mechanical forces have big impact on embryonic stem cells
Applying a small mechanical force to embryonic stem cells could be a new way of coaxing them into a specific direction of differentiation, researchers at the University of Illinois report. Applications for force-directed cell differentiation include therapeutic cloning and regenerative medicine. view more (2009-10-19)
Study shows frogs can play key role in stem cell research
It sounds like one of those curiosities which pops up in wildlife documentaries, but the African clawed frog could prove a powerful ally for scientists working in the key area of stem cell research. view more (2006-05-15)
Stem cell protein offers a new cancer target
A protein abundant in embryonic stem cells is now shown to be important in cancer, and offers a possible new target for drug development, report researchers from the Stem Cell Program at Children's Hospital Boston. view more (2009-06-02)
Human embryonic stem cells display a unique pattern of chemical modification to DNA
Scientists from the Burnham Institute for Medical Research (BIMR) and Illumina Inc., in collaboration with stem cell researchers around the world, have found that the DNA of human embryonic stem cells is chemically modified in a characteristic, predictable pattern. view more (2006-08-07)
ESC Congress 2003: Stem cell therapy for myocardial repair & regeneration
IMPORTANT: This press release accompanies both a presentation and an ESC press conference given at the ESC Congress 2003. Written by the investigator himself/herself, this press release does not necessarily reflect the opinion of the European Society of Cardiology Heart attack and the resulting heart failure is still one of the leading causes of... view more...

Widespread support for nonembryonic stem cell research, VCU Life Sciences Survey shows
The VCU Life Sciences Survey is the first poll to reflect the discovery reported internationally in November that human skin cells can be used to create stem cells or their near equivalents. When asked about the implications of this development, more than six in 10, or 63 percent, say that both embryonic and non-embryonic stem cell research is... view more... (2007-12-19)
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)
Researchers safely regenerate failing mouse hearts with programmed embryonic stem cells
Mayo Clinic researchers have safely transplanted cardiac preprogrammed embryonic stem cells into diseased hearts of mice successfully regenerating infarcted heart muscle without precipitating the growth of a cancerous tumor — which, so far, has impeded successful translation into practice of embryonic stem cell research. view more (2007-02-28)
Scientists make first step towards growing human lungs for transplant
Scientists have successfully converted human embryonic stem cells into lung cells, taking a first step towards building human lungs for transplantation. view more (2005-08-23)
Study: Donated embryos could result in more than 2,000 new embryonic stem cell lines
In a survey of more than one thousand infertility patients with frozen embryos, 60 percent of patients report that they are likely to donate their embryos to stem cell research. view more (2007-06-21)
Embryonic Stem Cells Thrive When Shaken
Embryos spend much of their time in the womb bobbing along with a mother's movement, and, surprisingly enough, new research from the Georgia Institute of Technology and Emory University suggests that embryonic stem cells may develop much better under similarly shaky conditions. view more (2007-09-11)
UCLA researchers reprogram normal tissue cells into embryonic stem cells
Researchers at the Institute for Stem Cell Biology and Medicine at UCLA were able to take normal tissue cells and reprogram them into cells with the same unlimited properties as embryonic stem cells, the cells that are able to give rise to every cell type found in the body. view more (2007-06-07)
Researchers discover human embryonic stem cells are the ultimate perpetual fuel cell
A startling discovery on the development of human embryonic stem cells by scientists at McMaster University will change how future research in the area is done. view more (2007-07-12)
How embryonic stem cells develop into tissue-specific cells demonstrated
While it has long been known that embryonic stem cells have the ability to develop into any kind of tissue-specific cells, the exact mechanism as to how this occurs has heretofore not been demonstrated. view more (2008-05-13)
Endocrine Society calls for expanded scope and funding for stem cell research
Stem cell research holds great promise for the treatment of millions of Americans with debilitating and possibly fatal diseases. view more (2009-10-28)
Neural stem cells derived from human embryonic stem cells carry abnormal gene expression
Neural stem cells grown from one of the federally approved human embryonic stem cell lines proved to be inferior to neural stem cells derived from fetal tissue donated for research, a UCLA study has found. view more (2006-08-07)
