Stem-cell therapy could have benefits and risks for heart-attack patients (pp 746, 751, 783)
Two studies in this week's issue of THE LANCET raise questions about the feasibility and safety of stem-cell therapy for heart disease, suggesting that such treatments could have both benefits and drawbacks. Adult haemopoietic stem cells give rise to blood cells, and are thought to be able to generate other types of cell. Recent studies have... view more... (2004-03-03)
Stem cells and cancer: cancer pathways that also control the adult stem cell population
Speaking today (10 April) at the UK National Stem Cell Network Annual Science Meeting in Edinburgh, Professor Alan Clarke from Cardiff University describes his work to investigate a mechanism that normally drives adult stem cells to repair the intestine. view more (2008-04-10)
Cell division studies hint at future cancer therapy
When a cell's assets get divided between daughter cells, Dr. Quansheng Du wants to make sure both offspring do well. view more (2008-01-23)
New U of T strategy will boost cord blood stem cells
A team of bioengineers led by the University of Toronto has discovered a way to increase the yield of stem cells from umbilical cord blood, to an extent which could broaden therapeutic use of these cells. view more (2005-10-19)
GABA halts stem cell production in the brain
Release of the neurotransmitter GABA by adult neuronal precursor cells that develop into neurons limits stem cell proliferation, according to a study at Yale School of Medicine in the September issue of Nature Neuroscience. view more (2005-09-02)
Aging stem cells in mice may hold answers to diseases of the aged, Stanford study finds
As stem cells in the blood grow older, genetic mutations accumulate that could be at the root of blood diseases that strike people as they age, according to work done in mice by researchers at the Stanford University School of Medicine. view more (2007-06-07)
Heart derived stem cells develop into heart muscle
Dutch researchers at University Medical Center Utrecht and the Hubrecht Institute have succeeded in growing large numbers of stem cells from adult human hearts into new heart muscle cells. view more (2008-04-24)
Master regulatory gene of epithelial stem cells identified
The skin's ability to replace the tissue it sloughs off is controlled by a variety of genes. A new study from Harvard Medical School published in the May 4 issue of Cell, however, identifies a "master regulator" of this regeneration process not only for skin, but for many epithelial tissues including breast, prostate, and urogenital... view more...

Signaling for cartilage
Skeletal progenitor cells differentiate into cartilage cells when one master gene actually suppresses the action of another, said Baylor College of Medicine researchers in a report that appears online in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. view more (2006-11-28)
Stem cell surprise for tissue regeneration
Scientists working at the Carnegie Institution's Department of Embryology, with colleagues, have overturned previous research that identified critical genes for making muscle stem cells. view more (2009-06-25)
Use eggs, not embryos, to derive stem cells, say researchers
Concerns about the ethics of using embryos created to treat infertile couples for stem cell research is discussed by researchers at St Mary's Hospital, Manchester in this week's BMJ. Although the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Act 1990 allows the creation of embryos for research in the United Kingdom, the House of Lords Select Committee on... view more... (2003-10-08)
Want a reason to love your lower belly fat? It's rich in stem cells
Fat removed from the lower abdomen and inner thigh through liposuction was found to be an excellent source of stem cells, with higher stem cell concentrations than other areas of the body. view more (2008-07-24)
Discovery suggests why stem cells run through stop signs
Everyone knows that stem cells are controversial. Many people know that stem cells can grow into virtually any cell type found in the body, from a red blood cell to a muscle cell to a brain cell. But no one really knows why stem cells continue to divide and renew themselves long after the point where other cells stop dividing. view more (2005-06-13)
Heart stem cell scientist to honor pioneering woman scientist in keynote speech
Professor Christine Mummery, one of the world's leading heart stem cell experts, will later today (9 April) honour the memory of Dame Anne McLaren in the keynote lecture of the inaugural UK National Stem Cell Network Science Meeting in Edinburgh. view more (2008-04-10)
Donor T cells change the fate of stem cells in transplantation
When a transplant patient suffers complications such as graft rejection or graft-versus-host disease, physicians attempt to stop the body's immune response by targeting a patient's T cells. view more (2006-07-13)
Stem cell research puts interstate rivalry on hold
Victoria and New South Wales have put aside their competitive interstate rivalry to collaborate on a stem cell research project, as announced by Innovation Minister Gavin Jennings and NSW Minister for Science and Medical Research, Verity Firth, today. view more (2008-09-04)
Hebrew University researchers neutralize tumor growth in embryonic stem cell therapy
Researchers at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem have discovered a method to potentially eliminate the tumor-risk factor in utilizing human embryonic stem cells. view more (2009-05-07)
How stem cells are regulated
Researchers from Biotech Research & Innovation Centre (BRIC) at University of Copenhagen have identified a new group of proteins that regulate the function of stem cells. The results are published in the new issue of Cell. view more (2007-02-23)
US funding for Lund research for project on adult stem cells
Adult stem cells are to be treated so that they develop characteristics of nerve cells and can produce dopamine, according to Associate Professor Jia-Yi Li at the Wallenberg Neuro Center at Lund University, who has received a grant of some SEK 2 million from the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the American counterpart of the Swedish Research... view more...

DFG remains skeptical of the cloning of human cells
According to a paper published in the journal Stem Cells, an American group has succeeded in inserting cell nuclei from human skin cells into human enucleated oocytes and to stimulate these new cells to undergo cell division in the laboratory. view more (2008-01-23)
