Dartmouth professor makes case for ethically universal stem cell lines
Human embryonic stem cells (hESC), those very young cells that are a biological blank slate, have the potential to become more specialized, contributing to the workings of a wide variety of organs and tissues.   view more (2007-06-08)

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)

Sickle cell disease corrected in human models using stem cell-based gene therapy
In a study to be published in the January 2006 issue of Nature Biotechnology, researchers led by a team of scientists at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center have devised a novel strategy that uses stem cell-based gene therapy and RNA interference to genetically reverse sickle cell disease (SCD)... view more (2005-12-29)

PET and Bioluminescent Imaging Aid Evaluation of Stem Cells' Potential for New Ways to Treat Disease
Using positron emission tomography (PET) imaging with bioluminescence-the light produced by a chemical reaction within an organism-researchers are starting to understand the behavior of transplanted or implanted stem cells that may one day be used to develop new treatments for disease.   view more (2007-12-07)

New research could help us deliver genes for new bone formation
UK scientists are working on new methods to regenerate cartilage and bone by delivering genes to stem cells within the body to instruct them to turn into bone cells.   view more (2005-09-29)

MIT identifies cells for spinal-cord repair
A researcher at MIT's Picower Institute for Learning and Memory has pinpointed stem cells within the spinal cord that, if persuaded to differentiate into more healing cells and fewer scarring cells following an injury, may lead to a new, non-surgical treatment for debilitating spinal-cord injuries.   view more (2008-07-22)

Ireland Cancer Center researchers advance stem cell gene therapy
Ireland Cancer Center of University Hospitals Case Medical Center researchers have recently made great strides in stem cell gene therapy research by transferring a new gene to cancer patients, via their own stem cells, with the ultimate goal of being able to use stronger chemotherapy treatment with... view more (2007-12-13)

OHSU discovery sheds light into how stem cells become brain cells
Researchers at the Oregon National Primate Research Center at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) have discovered one key gene that appears to control how stem cells become various kinds of brain cells.   view more (2005-12-15)

Human embryonic stem cell secretions minimized tissue injury after heart attack
A novel way to improve survival and recovery rate after a heart attack was reported in the journal Stem Cell Research by scientists at Singapore's Institute of Medical Biology (IMB) and Bioprocessing Technology Institute (BTI) and The Netherlands' University Medical Center Utrecht.   view more (2008-09-10)

Bone marrow may be source of new egg-cell generation in adult mammals
Last year a group of Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) researchers announced surprising findings that female mice - contrary to longstanding theories of mammalian reproductive physiology - retained the ability to make new egg cells or oocytes into adulthood.   view more (2005-07-28)

Studies find general mechanism of cellular aging
Three separate studies confirm a gene that suppresses tumor cell growth also plays a key role in aging.   view more (2006-09-07)

Stanford researchers find culprit in aging muscles that heal poorly
Communication is critical. Garbled in, garbled out, so to (mis-)speak. Workers who get incomplete instructions produce an incomplete product, and that's exactly what happens with the stem cells in our aging muscles.   view more (2007-08-10)

Stem Cell Study for Patients with Heart Attack Damage Seeks to Regenerate Heart Muscle
Rush cardiologists are hoping that transplanted stem cells can regenerate damaged heart muscle in those who experience a first heart attack. The study involves an intravenous infusion of adult mesenchymal stem cells from healthy donor bone marrow that might possibly reverse damage to heart tissue.   view more (2006-04-21)

Stem cell therapies for heart disease -- 1 step closer
New research from the University of Bristol brings stem cell therapies for heart disease one step closer. The findings reveal that our bodies' ability to respond to an internal 'mayday' signal may hold the key to success for long-awaited regenerative medicine.   view more (2008-10-31)

Research shows promise for using stem cell transplantation to treat patients with severe lupus
About half of patients with severe lupus that was refractory to standard treatment and who underwent autologous stem cell transplantation to improve their immune system have substantial improvement in disease activity after several years.   view more (2006-02-01)

Limbs saved by menstrual blood stem cells
Cells obtained from menstrual blood, termed 'endometrial regenerative cells' (ERCs) are capable of restoring blood flow in an animal model of advanced peripheral artery disease.   view more (2008-08-19)

Scientists identify genes capable of regulating stem cell function
Scientists from The Forsyth Institute, Boston, MA, and the Howard Hughes Medical Institute at the University of Utah School of Medicine have developed a new system in which to study known mammalian adult stem cell disorders.   view more (2008-09-17)

Technique to arrest urinary incontinence
The University Hospital of Navarra is to carry out clinical trials for urinary incontinence using the intraurethral injection of myoblasts (adult stem cells obtained by means of a biopsy of the patient).   view more (2006-10-04)

A transplant in time
In hemophilia, a mutated gene prevents the production of a critical blood-clotting protein. Treatments for hemophilia and other such genetic diseases, when they exist, may consist of risky blood transfusions or expensive enzyme replacement therapy.   view more (2007-01-02)

Starting over: Wnt reactivates dormant limb regeneration program
Chop off a salamander's leg and a brand new one will sprout in no time. But most animals have lost the ability to replace missing limbs. Now, a research team at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies has been able to regenerate a wing in a chick embryo - a species not known to be able to regrow... view more (2006-11-20)

Study shows isolation of stem cells may lead to a treatment for hearing loss
Have you ever walked by someone listening to their i-Pod loud enough for you recognize the song? Studies have shown noise-induced hearing loss is going to become the next big epidemic affecting our younger generation though the effects won't show until it is too late to treat.   view more (2007-04-06)

Stomach stem cell discovery could bring cancer insights
Scientists have identified and described stem cells specific to several tissues and organs of the body - key master cells that give rise to the specialized cell types characteristic of that organ.   view more (2007-10-04)

Potential for Adult Stem Cells to Repair Hearts Damaged by Severe Coronary Artery Disease Investigated by Rush Cardiologists
Rush University Medical Center is one of the first medical centers in the country, and currently the only site in Illinois, participating in a novel clinical trial to determine if a subject's own stem cells can treat a form of severe coronary artery disease.   view more (2007-02-02)
