Scientists use stem cells to grow cartilage
Scientists from Imperial College London have successfully converted human embryonic stem cells into cartilage cells, offering encouragement that replacement cartilage could one day be grown for transplantation. view more (2005-11-17)
Small mechanical forces have big impact on embryonic stem cells
Applying a small mechanical force to embryonic stem cells could be a new way of coaxing them into a specific direction of differentiation, researchers at the University of Illinois report. Applications for force-directed cell differentiation include therapeutic cloning and regenerative medicine. view more (2009-10-19)
Scientists unlock mystery of embryonic stem cell signaling pathway
A newly discovered small molecule called IQ-1 plays a key role in preventing embryonic stem cells from differentiating into one or more specific cell types, allowing them to instead continue growing and dividing indefinitely, according to research performed by a team of scientists who have recently joined the stem-cell research efforts at the Keck... view more...

Stem cells - a cure for fatal muscular dystrophy
The diagnosis 'muscular dystrophy' is usually tantamount to a death sentence for those affected. One in three thousand male babies suffer from this incurable hereditary disease. The progress of the disease can only be slowed down through physiotherapy and medication. Scientists at Bonn University and at Pittsburgh Children's Hospital (USA) have... view more... (2002-07-04)
Stem cell transplant can grow new immune system in certain mice, Stanford researchers find
Researchers at the Stanford University School of Medicine have taken a small but significant step, in mouse studies, toward the goal of transplanting adult stem cells to create a new immune system for people with autoimmune or genetic blood diseases. view more (2007-11-26)
Bone marrow stem cell co-transplantation prevents embryonic stem cell transplant-associated tumors
Transplanted embryonic stem cells are recognized as a potential treatment for patients suffering from the effects of spinal cord injury (SCI). view more (2009-05-12)
Epigenetics to shape stem cell future
Everyone hopes that one day stem cell-based regenerative medicine will help repair diseased tissue. view more (2007-02-20)
Study identifies molecule essential for proper localization of blood stem cells
Scientists at the Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) Center for Regenerative Medicine and the Harvard Stem Cell Institute (HCSI) have defined a molecule that dictates how blood stem cells travel to the bone marrow and establish blood and immune cell production. view more (2006-01-16)
Resistance to chemotherapy in lung cancer, optimizing flu vaccination strategies
Lung cancer is the most common cause of cancer-related death worldwide, in part because these tumors often are or become resistant to chemotherapy. view more (2006-10-03)
UCLA researchers reprogram normal tissue cells into embryonic stem cells
Researchers at the Institute for Stem Cell Biology and Medicine at UCLA were able to take normal tissue cells and reprogram them into cells with the same unlimited properties as embryonic stem cells, the cells that are able to give rise to every cell type found in the body. view more (2007-06-07)
Carnegie Mellon researchers to develop new drug delivery system
Carnegie Mellon University's Stefan F. Zappe is using adult neural stem cells to develop a new stem cell-based drug delivery therapy that may ultimately help treat a variety of inherited genetic disorders like Hunter syndrome. view more (2007-11-05)
Stem cell treatment succeeds in spinal cord-injured rats
Stem cells can repair damaged spinal tissue and help restore function in rats with spinal cord injuries, according to a new study. view more (2006-03-29)
New technique invented to reveal pancreatic stem cells
Wanted: stems cells. Just like those absconders chased by police all over the world, everybody can tell about their good deeds but none really knows how to recognize them. view more (2009-04-07)
Human induced plurtipotent stem cells reprogrammed into germ cell precursors
For the first time, UCLA researchers have reprogrammed human induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells into the cells that eventually become eggs and sperm, possibly opening the door for new treatments for infertility using patient-specific cells. view more (2009-01-27)
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)
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)
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)
Tumor suppressor gene in flies may provide insights for human brain tumors
In the fruit fly's developing brain, stem cells called neuroblasts normally divide to create one self-renewing neuroblast and one cell that has a different fate. But neuroblast growth can sometimes spin out of control and become a brain tumor. view more (2009-06-23)
Of mice and men: Stem cells and ethical uncertainties
The recent creation of live mice from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) not only represents a remarkable scientific achievement, but also raises important issues, according to bioethicists at The Johns Hopkins University's Berman Institute of Bioethics. view more (2009-10-30)
Paradoxical protein might prevent cancer
One difficulty with fighting cancer cells is that they are similar in many respects to the body's stem cells. By focusing on the differences, researchers at Karolinska Institutet have found a new way of tackling colon cancer. The study is presented in the prestigious journal Cell. view more (2009-11-16)
