Stem cell transplantation procedure results in long-term survival for amyloidosis patients
Researchers from the Stem Cell Transplant Program and the Amyloid Treatment and Research Program at Boston University Medical Center (BUMC) have found that high-dose chemotherapy and blood stem cell transplantation can result in long-term survival for patients diagnosed with primary systemic light... view more (2007-08-08)

Cloned mice created from fully differentiated cells, a milestone in cloning research
New research dismisses the notion that adult stem cells are necessary for successful animal cloning, proving instead that cells that have completely evolved to a specific type not only can be used for cloning purposes, but they may be a better and more efficient starting point.   view more (2006-10-02)

Cancer stem cells can go it alone
At the heart of most, if not all cancers, lie a handful of wayward stem cells that feed the ever growing tumor mass, but their scarcity make it difficult for scientists to study them.   view more (2007-06-12)

U of MN researchers turn cord blood into lung cells
Researchers at the University of Minnesota have, for the first time, coaxed umbilical cord blood stem cells to differentiate into a type of lung cell.   view more (2006-11-02)

Researchers make 'embryonic-like' stem cells from umbilical cord blood
A breakthrough in human stem cell research, producing embryonic-like cells from umbilical cord blood may substantially speed up the development of treatments for life-threatening illnesses, injuries and disabilities.   view more (2005-08-18)

Ethical Guidelines Presented for Swedish Stem Cell Research
In brief, the guidelines mean that researchers may take stem cells from embryos that can no longer be used for further IVF treatment. Moreover, the creation of embryos by somatic cell nuclear transfer (therapeutic cloning) to get access to stem cells is deemed to be ethically defensible. The reason... view more (2001-12-04)

Researchers Find Defects in Adult Stem Cell Niche May Cause Breast Cancer
Researchers at Georgetown's Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center have found that the onset of breast cancer may be due to defects in somatic adult stem cell niches that exist long before tumors develop.   view more (2005-10-05)

Researchers discover mechanism that may enable stem cell-based treatment for eye disorders
In discovering a protein that helps organize the development of the retina, UC Irvine researchers have found a new molecular mechanism that may allow for stem cell-based therapies to treat eye disorders such as retinal degeneration.   view more (2005-06-24)

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)

Vaccination with embryonic stem cells prevents lung cancer in mice
Researchers in America have discovered that vaccinating mice with embryonic stem cells prevented lung cancer in those animals that had had cancer cells transplanted into them after the vaccination or that had been exposed to cancer-causing chemicals.   view more (2006-11-08)

Breast stem cells have features similar to 'basal' tumors
The most aggressive form of breast cancer may originate from breast stem cells that have undergone genetic mishaps.   view more (2006-07-20)

Stem cells' electric abilities might help their safe clinical use
Researchers from Johns Hopkins have discovered the presence of functional ion channels in human embryonic stem cells (ESCs).   view more (2005-10-21)

Neuronal regulators offer potential targets for cancer
Being too brainy can be a bad thing in a junior high cafeteria, where the social hierarchy favors other traits. "Braininess" also causes problems for cells.   view more (2008-03-20)

Unique role for blood formation gene identified
All blood cell production in adults depends on the steady work of a vital gene that if lost results in early bone marrow failure, Dartmouth Medical School cancer geneticists have found.   view more (2007-09-13)

Yamanaka eliminates viral vector in stem cell reprogramming
Shinya Yamanaka MD, PhD, of Kyoto University and the Gladstone Institute of Cardiovascular Disease (GICD) has taken another step forward in improving the possibilities for the practical application of induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cell technology.   view more (2008-10-13)

USC researchers discover breast cancer stem cells in bone marrow
Almost all tumor cells found in the bone marrow of early stage breast cancer patients appear to be breast cancer stem cells, suggesting the risk of disease spread for all breast cancer patients may be greater than previously thought.   view more (2006-10-09)

Stretching bone marrow stem cells pushes them towards becoming blood vessel
When stretched, a type of adult stem cell taken from bone marrow can be nudged towards becoming the type of tissue found in blood vessels, according to a new study by bioengineers at the University of California, Berkeley.   view more (2006-10-24)

Stanford doctors advance in bid to turn mice stem cells into blood vessels
Researchers at the Stanford University School of Medicine have taken a first step toward growing blood vessels from stem cells that could eventually be transplanted into living organisms.   view more (2006-06-22)

Study suggests use of stem cell transplantation is beneficial treatment of type 1 diabetes
A therapy that includes stem cell transplantation induced extended insulin independence in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus.   view more (2007-04-11)

Ovarian cancer stem cells identified, characterized
Researchers at Yale School of Medicine have identified, characterized and cloned ovarian cancer stem cells and have shown that these stem cells may be the source of ovarian cancer's recurrence and its resistance to chemotherapy.   view more (2008-04-18)

Neurons grown from embryonic stem cells restore function in paralyzed rats
For the first time, researchers have enticed transplants of embryonic stem cell-derived motor neurons in the spinal cord to connect with muscles and partially restore function in paralyzed animals.   view more (2006-06-21)

Pittsburgh researchers identify source of multipotent stem cells with broad regenerative potential
In a promising finding for the field of regenerative medicine, stem cell researchers at Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh of UPMC have identified a source of adult stem cells found on the walls of blood vessels with the unlimited potential to differentiate into human tissues such as bone, cartilage... view more (2008-09-22)

Press Invitation: The science of stem cells - December Symposium at Imperial College
PRESS INVITATION 28 November 2000 As the British parliament prepares to debate a change in the law to allow stem cells from human embryos to be used in research, Imperial College researchers will gather at a Symposium in December to discuss the science behind stem cells, and examine their... view more (2000-11-29)

The Observatory on Bioethics and Law expresses its support for the production of human embryonic stem cells for therapeutic purposes
In response to the controversy that has recently arisen about the use of human embryos for therapeutic and non-reproductive purposes, the Opinion Group of the Observatory on Bioethics and Law of the Barcelona Science Park has drawn up a Declaration on this issue. This document provides information... view more (2001-12-17)
