Male germ cells can be directly converted into other cell types
Researchers have found a way to directly convert spermatogonial stem cells, the precursors of sperm cells, into tissues of the prostate, skin and uterus. view more (2009-07-29)
Scientists shed light on inner workings of human embryonic stem cells
Scientists at UC Santa Barbara have made a significant discovery in understanding the way human embryonic stem cells function. view more (2009-05-01)
Stem cell research to benefit horse owners and trainers
In a potential breakthrough for the performance horse industry (such as racing and polo), Melbourne scientists are aiming to harness stem cells to repair tendon, ligament, cartilage and bone damage in horses. view more (2008-10-21)
Study Finds Blood Cells Can Be Reprogrammed to Act as Embryonic Stem Cells
In a recent study, U.S. researchers have reprogrammed cells found in circulating blood into cells that are molecularly and functionally indistinguishable from embryonic stem cells, a revolutionary achievement that provides a readily accessible source of stem cells and an alternative to harvesting embryonic stem cells. view more (2009-04-21)
Updated guidelines for stem cell research released
The National Academies today released amended guidelines for research involving human embryonic stem cells, revising those that were issued in 2005 and updated in 2007. view more (2008-09-08)
Medium is the message for stem cells in search of identities
Embryonic stem cells, prized for their astonishing ability to apparently transform into any kind of cell in the body, acquire their identities in part by interacting with their surroundings—even when they are outside of the body in a laboratory dish, University of Florida scientists report. view more (2006-07-06)
What makes stem cells tick?
Investigators at the Burnham Institute for Medical Research (Burnham) and The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) have made the first comparative, large-scale phosphoproteomic analysis of human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) and their differentiated derivatives. view more (2009-08-07)
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)
New stem cell technique improves genetic alteration
UC Irvine researchers have discovered a dramatically improved method for genetically manipulating human embryonic stem cells, making it easier for scientists to study and potentially treat thousands of disorders ranging from Huntington's disease to muscular dystrophy and diabetes. view more (2008-03-10)
Columbia University Medical Center researchers discover potential mechanism for tumor growth
Researchers at Columbia University Medical Center have identified an inherent feature of stem and progenitor cells that may promote initiation and progression of cancerous tumors. view more (2005-12-16)
Ground rules for Finnish research on embryos and stem cells
Finnish researchers held a discussion forum on embryonic and stem cell research in November 2001. The researchers surveyed the use of embryos and stem cells in Finnish research and discussed the goals, fields of emphasis and ethical principles of this research in Finland. More than 140 researchers and other players from. e.g. universities,... view more... (2002-02-20)
To evade chemotherapy, some cancer cells mimic stem cells
Anti-cancer treatments often effectively shrink the size of tumors, but some might have an opposite effect, actually expanding the small population of cancer stem cells believed to drive the disease, according to findings presented today in Atlanta, Georgia at the American Association for Cancer Research's second International Conference on... view more...

New source of multipotent adult stem cells discovered in human hair follicles
Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine have isolated a new source of adult stem cells that appear to have the potential to differentiate into several cell types. view more (2006-07-13)
Study establishes safety of spinal cord stem cell transplantation
Transplanting human embryonic stem cells does not cause harm and can be used as a therapeutic strategy for the treatment of acute spinal cord injury. view more (2006-07-20)
Researchers link early stem cell mutation to autism
In a breakthrough scientific study published today in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, scientists at the Burnham Institute for Medical Research have shown that neural stem cell development may be linked to Autism. view more (2008-07-01)
Stem cells provide clues to cancer spread
Scientists have made a breakthrough in understanding how cancers spread in what could lead to new ways of beating the disease. view more (2007-05-23)
Researchers reveal repressor protein blocks neural stem cell development
A protein known to repress gene transcription at the molecular level in a variety of processes also blocks embryonic neural stem cells from differentiating into neurons. view more (2007-10-11)
ESC Congress 2004: Embryonic endothelial progenitor cells help overcome myocardial infarction in pigs
Myocardial infarction, caused by coronary artery occlusion, can lead up to loss of muscle tissue of the heart and functional detriment, even at times where rapid reperfusion strategies like PTCA or thrombolysis are at hand. In the study presented here, we investigated embryonic endothelial progenitor cells as therapy for ischemia reperfusion... view more... (2004-08-30)
Harm-reduction cigarettes are more toxic than traditional cigarettes, UC Riverside study finds
Typically, tobacco companies market harm-reduction cigarettes as being safer than traditional "full-flavored" brands, leading many smokers to conclude that the use of harm-reduction brands lowers their exposure to toxicants. view more (2008-12-09)
Tissue regeneration operates differently than expected
Scientists from the Max Planck Institute for Heart and Lung Research in Bad Nauheim, Germany, in co-operation with colleagues from Martin Luther University in Halle-Wittenberg, have now shown that skeletal muscle tissue can fuse with adult stem cells, via a mechanism based on the participation of mediators which are generally involved in immune... view more...
