Evolutionary conservation of a mechanism of longevity from worms to mammals
Though the study of aging in the nematode model organism C. elegans has provided much insight into this complex process, it is not yet clear whether genes involved in aging in the worm have a similar role in mammals.   view more (2005-10-05)

Fat stem cells being studied as option for breast reconstruction
Breast cancer survivors might one day avoid the prospect of invasive breast reconstruction surgery, opting instead for an approach that would involve using stem cells derived from their own fat.   view more (2006-10-27)

Oregon Health & Science University Cancer Institute researchers have opened a new window into the roots of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML).   view more (2007-12-10)

Ability to track stem cells in tumors could advance cancer treatments
Using noninvasive molecular imaging technology, a method has been developed to track the location and activity of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in the tumors of living organisms.   view more (2008-06-17)

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)

Key factor in brain development revealed, offers insight into disorder
In the earliest days of brain development, the brain's first cells - neuroepithelial stem cells -- divide continuously, producing a population of cells that eventually evolves into the various cells of the fully formed brain.   view more (2008-03-27)

Possible birthplace of malignant brain tumors identified
Researchers have found that abnormal stimulation of a cellular trigger that normally regulates replenishment of brain cells in adults causes invasive tumor-like growths in mice.   view more (2006-07-20)

Key gene controlling kidney development found
A gene called Six2 plays a critical role in the development of the kidney by keeping a population of "parent" stem cells constantly available to produce the differentiated cells that give rise to specialized parts of the organ.   view more (2006-10-11)

UCF Research Links Protein, Stem Cells and Potential Alzheimer's Treatment
A team of scientists led by professor Kiminobu Sugaya at the University of Central Florida may have found a new way to treat Alzheimer's disease.   view more (2007-08-07)

New type of drug shrinks primary breast cancer tumors significantly in just 6 weeks
A drug that targets the cell surface receptors that play an important role in many types of cancer can bring about significant tumour regression in breast cancer after only six weeks of use.   view more (2008-04-17)

Stem cell chicken and egg debate moves to unlikely arena: the testes
Logic says it has to be the niche. As air and water preceded life, so the niche, that hospitable environment that shelters adult stem cells in many tissues and provides factors necessary to keep them young and vital, must have emerged before its stem cell dependents.   view more (2008-07-21)

UM researchers find new marker to identify cancer stem cells
Researchers at the University of Michigan Comprehensive Cancer Center have found a marker that can be used to identify stem cells in breast tumors, suggesting a potential simple test that could help determine the best treatment for breast cancer.   view more (2007-12-04)

Advances In Curing Corneal Illnesses Using Stem Cells
The University School of Clinical Medicine has developed a new technique for the treatment of corneal illnesses. It involves transplanting from the cornea stem cells which have previously been grown in the laboratory. According to the explanation provided by Doctor Javier Moreno, director of... view more (2004-02-16)

Xie Lab Demonstrates Dual Intrinsic and Extrinsic Control of Stem Cell Aging
The Stowers Institute's Xie Lab has published recent findings that reveal some of the factors underlying the aging of stem cells.   view more (2007-10-11)

Discoveries may advance stem cell therapy for Parkinson's, cancer patients
Two studies in the Jan. 27, 2006 Cell have yielded evidence that could prove a boon for stem cell therapies aimed at patients with Parkinson's disease and those with compromised immune systems due to intensive cancer therapy or autoimmune disease, according to researchers.   view more (2006-01-27)

USC researchers track down the stem cells that create feathers
The stem cells that produce bird feathers have been visualized and analyzed for the first time, signifying the initial step in a scientific journey that may ultimately shed light on human organ regeneration.   view more (2005-12-15)

Bone marrow cell transplants help nerve regeneration
A study carried out by researchers at the Kyoto University School of Medicine and published in the current issue of CELL TRANSPLANTATION (Vol.16 No. 8) has shown that when transplanted bone marrow cells (BMCs) containing adult stem cells are protected by a 15mm silicon tube and nourished with... view more (2007-12-05)

Administering stem cells to patients with myocardial infarction leads to a reduction of the infarct
This week, doctors at the Catholic University of Leuven, connected with the University Hospital-Gasthuisberg, the Stem Cell Institute Leuven (SCIL), and the Flanders Interuniversity Institute for Biotechnology (VIB), are publishing a major breakthrough in the treatment of patients with acute... view more (2006-01-10)

U-M researchers dispute widely held ideas about stem cells
How do adult stem cells protect themselves from accumulating genetic mutations that can lead to cancer?   view more (2007-08-30)

Vitamin A pushes breast cancer to form blood vessel cells
Researchers at Georgetown University Medical Center have discovered that vitamin A, when applied to breast cancer cells, turns on genes that can push stem cells embedded in a tumor to morph into endothelial cells. These cells can then build blood vessels to link up to the body's blood supply,... view more (2008-07-16)

Scientists crack genetic secrets of human egg
The human egg's ability to transform into a new life, or into new cells that may someday save lives, is well documented. The mystery lies in the mechanics-in how a single cell can transform so nimbly.   view more (2006-09-06)

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)

Nuffield Council On Bioethics Concerned About Amendments To EU Directive On Tissues & Cells
The Nuffield Council on Bioethics has written to MEPs expressing concern about proposed amendments to the European Directive on tissues and cells, due to be discussed in the European Parliament next week (15 - 18 December). The proposals could restrict or even ban the creation of embryos for... view more (2003-12-11)

New research demonstrates bone-marrow derived stem cells can reverse genetic kidney disease
The discovery that bone-marrow derived stem cells can regenerate damaged renal cells in an animal model of Alport syndrome provides a potential new strategy for managing this inherited kidney disease and offers the first example of how stem cells may be useful in repairing basement membrane matrix... view more (2006-04-25)
