Penn researchers find key developmental pathway activates lung stem cells
Researchers from the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine found that the activation of a molecular pathway important in stem cell and developmental biology leads to an increase in lung stem cells. Harnessing this knowledge could help develop therapies for lung-tissue repair after injury or disease. view more (2008-06-18)
Scientists find stem cell switch
Scientists have discovered how plant stem cells in roots detect soil structure and whether it is favourable for growth. view more (2007-07-27)
UCI embryonic stem cell therapy restores walking ability in rats with neck injuries
The first human embryonic stem cell treatment approved by the FDA for human testing has been shown to restore limb function in rats with neck spinal cord injuries - a finding that could expand the clinical trial to include people with cervical damage. view more (2009-11-10)
Method to deliver molecules within embryonic stem cells improves differentiation
Embryonic stem cell therapies have been proposed for regenerative medicine and tissue replacement after injury or disease. However, the inability of stem cells to efficiently develop into the desired specific cell type - such as muscle, skin, blood vessels, bone or neurons - now limits the potential clinical utility of this therapy. view more (2008-04-10)
Protein key to control, growth of blood cells
New research sheds light on the biological events by which stem cells in the bone marrow develop into the broad variety of cells that circulate in the blood. The findings may help improve the success of bone marrow transplants and may lead to better treatments for life-threatening blood diseases. view more (2008-08-14)
What is the role of the omentum in regenerating the liver?
In their recent work to be published on March 7, 2009 in the World Journal of Gastroenterology, Dr. Singh and his colleagues from the Cook County Hospital in Chicago (USA) first activated the omentum using a foreign body to increase its content of stem cells and growth factors and then used the activated omentum to regenerate the liver. view more (2009-03-09)
Gladstone researchers hone in on differentiation of heart stem cells
A team of scientists from the Gladstone Institute of Cardiovascular Disease (GICD) has identified a key factor in heart development that could help advance gene therapy for treating cardiac disorders. view more (2005-12-16)
Markers of brain cell development may help success of stem cell transplants
Four sugar-coated faces made by stem cells as they differentiate into brain cells during development have been identified by scientists. view more (2005-09-07)
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)
UBC research finds molecular
University of British Columbia researchers have discovered a "molecular key" that could help increase the success of blood stem cell transplants, a procedure currently used to treat diseases such as leukemia, Hodgkin's lymphoma and aplastic anemia. view more (2009-04-23)
Human embryonic stem cells remain embryonic because of epigenetic factors
A human embryonic stem cell is reined in - prevented from giving up its unique characteristics of self-renewal and pluripotency - by the presence of a protein modification that stifles any genes that would prematurely instruct the cell to develop into heart or other specialized tissue. view more (2007-10-05)
A new method for bone-marrow-derived liver stem cells isolation and proliferation
Great interest has been aroused in the identification and isolation of liver stem cells from bone marrow cells. Several subsets of bone marrow cells have been found to have the potential to differentiate into hepatocytes, however, sorting based on immunological methods is difficult because of the complicated surface markers of the stem cells;... view more...

Post brain injury: New nerve cells originate from neural stem cells
Most cells in the human brain are not nerve cells, but supporting cells (glial cells). They serve as a framework for nerve cells and play an important role in the wound reaction that occurs with injuries to the brain. view more (2008-03-12)
Early-stage sperm cells created from human bone marrow
Human bone marrow has been used to create early-stage sperm cells for the first time, a scientific step forward that will help researchers understand more about how sperm cells are created. view more (2007-04-13)
Stem cell ethical guidelines must be strengthened, UCSF team says
The possibility of using embryonic stem cells to treat disease, a strategy known as regenerative medicine, is not yet being explored in clinical trials, and may not be for many years. view more (2005-09-22)
Stem cells derived from adult testes produce wide range of tissue types
After a decade of research, Howard Hughes Medical Institute scientists have succeeded in reprogramming adult stem cells from the testes of male mice into functional blood vessels and contractile cardiac tissue. view more (2007-09-20)
75 million SEK for Swedish stem cell research
Swedish stem cell research is to receive a supplement of 75 million SEK over five years. The Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation International (JDRF), the world’s leading nonprofit, nongovernmental funder of diabetes research will contribute with 50 million SEK. The Swedish Research Council contributes with 20 million and the Swedish... view more... (2002-03-21)
European Commission proposes strict ethical guidelines on EU funding of human embryonic stem cell research
Today the Commission adopted a proposal for guidelines on EU-funded human embryonic stem cell research. The EU 6th Research Framework Programme (FP6 2003-2006), as adopted by the Council of Ministers and the European Parliament in 2002, allows for the funding of human embryonic stem cell research in relation to the fight against major diseases.... view more...

Using stem cells to help heart attack victims
New research at The University of Nottingham is paving the way for techniques that use stem cells to repair the damage caused by heart attacks. view more (2007-07-30)
Early signs that adult bone-marrow stem cells could regenerate brain tissue (p 1432)
Findings of a preliminary study in this week's issue of THE LANCET suggest that transplanted adult bone-marrow cells could regenerate nerve cells in the brains of human stem-cell recipients. These early findings, if confirmed in future research, have implications for the treatment of neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson's disease. Ethical... view more... (2004-04-28)
