Hair-raising stem cells identified
Using an animal model, a research team led by Yann Barrandon at the EPFL (Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne) and the CHUV (Lausanne University Hospital) has discovered that certain cells inside the hair follicle are true multipotent stem cells, capable of developing into the many different cell types needed for hair growth and follicle... view more...

Pittsburgh researchers identify source of multipotent stem cells with broad regenerative potential
In a promising finding for the field of regenerative medicine, stem cell researchers at Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh of UPMC have identified a source of adult stem cells found on the walls of blood vessels with the unlimited potential to differentiate into human tissues such as bone, cartilage and muscle. view more (2008-09-22)
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)
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)
Menstrual blood -- a valuable source of multipotential stem cells?
Researchers seeking new and more abundant sources of stem cells for use in regenerative medicine have identified a potentially unlimited, noncontroversial, easily collectable, and inexpensive source - menstrual blood. view more (2008-04-23)
Study provides documentation that tumor 'stem-like cells' exist in benign tumors
Cancer stem-like cells have been implicated in the genesis of a variety of malignant cancers. Research scientists at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center's Maxine Dunitz Neurosurgical Institute have isolated stem-like cells in benign (pituitary) tumors and used these "mother" cells to generate new tumors in laboratory mice. view more (2009-07-23)
Progress being made in exploring potential use of stem cells to treat heart disease
Scientists are making headway in exploring the potential future use of stem cells to treat heart disease, according to a review article in the current issue of Nature (June 29, 2006). view more (2006-06-29)
Similar stem cells in insect and human gut
Scientists at the Carnegie Institution's Department of Embryology have found that adult fruitflies have the same stem cells controlling cell regulation in their gut as humans do. view more (2005-12-08)
Mass. General researchers identify master cardiac stem cell
Researchers from the Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) Cardiovascular Research Center have discovered what appears to be a master cardiac stem cell, capable of differentiating into the three major types of cells that make up the mammalian heart. view more (2006-11-27)
Stem cells could halt osteoporosis, promote bone growth
While interferon gamma sounds like an outer space weapon, it's actually a hormone produced by our own bodies, and it holds great promise to repair bones affected by osteoporosis. view more (2009-03-05)
Tapping into spinal cures
Stem cells which give rise to vertebrae, muscle and the spinal cord have been identified for the first time by Dr. Valerie Wilson (University of Edinburgh). "These axial stem cells could be used in the future to help replace damaged tissues after back injuries", says Dr. Wilson who will be presenting her work at the Society for... view more...

OU Cancer Institute Scientists Identify New Cancer Stem Cell Marker; Developing Drug to Stop Cancer Recurrence
After years of working toward this goal, scientists at the OU Cancer Institute have found a way to isolate cancer stem cells in tumors so they can target the cells and kill them, keeping cancer from returning. view more (2008-09-12)
The new source of islet cells
The shortage of islet cells limits the development of islet transplantation. One new approach was reported in the October 21 issue of the World Journal of Gastroenterology because of its great significance in enhancing the output of islet cells. This article will undoubtedly bring benefit to diabetic patients. view more (2007-10-25)
Stem cell identity in culture may strongly depend on the cellular microenvironment
Identification, isolation and large scale culture of stem cells for potential medical applications is a major challenge in cell biology. view more (2007-04-25)
World-first stem cell research could aid male infertility
Scientists have shown for the first time that sperm grown from embryonic stem cells can be used to produce offspring. view more (2006-07-11)
Xie Lab demonstrates the role of microRNA pathway
Ting Xie, Ph.D., Associate Investigator, and Zhigang Jin, Ph.D., Postdoctoral Research Associate in the Xie Lab, have published results showing that the microRNA pathway is essential for controlling self-renewal of germline stem cells and somatic stem cells in the Drosophila ovary. view more (2007-02-16)
Stem cells derived from adult testes produce wide range of tissue types
After a decade of research, Howard Hughes Medical Institute scientists have succeeded in reprogramming adult stem cells from the testes of male mice into functional blood vessels and contractile cardiac tissue. view more (2007-09-20)
DNA 'tattoos' link adult, daughter stem cells in planarians
Unlike some parents, adult stem cells don't seem to mind when their daughters get a tattoo. In fact, they're willing to pass them along. view more (2008-09-11)
Could skin cells become brain cells? (p 172)
Results of an experimental study in this week's issue of THE LANCET highlight how adult skin cells can be made into precursor nerve cells, with potential implications for the future treatment of neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson's disease. Ethical and practical considerations limit the availability of neural stem cells derived from... view more... (2004-07-07)
Scientists can now differentiate between healthy cells and cancer cells
One of the current handicaps of cancer treatments is the difficulty of aiming these treatments at destroying malignant cells without killing healthy cells in the process. view more (2009-01-06)
