Powerful technique for multiplying adult stem cells may aid therapies
Adult stem cells may be free of the ethical concerns that hamper embryonic stem cell research, but they still pose formidable scientific challenges. Chief among these is the doggedness with which adult stem cells differentiate into mature tissue the moment they're isolated from the body.   view more (2006-01-23)

UCLA stem cell researchers create heart and blood cells from reprogrammed skin cells

Therapeutic cloning treats Parkinson's disease in mice
Research led by investigators at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) has shown that therapeutic cloning, also known as somatic-cell nuclear transfer (SCNT), can be used to treat Parkinson's disease in mice. The study's results are published in the March 23 online edition of the journal... view more (2008-03-24)

USC researchers track down the stem cells that create feathers
The stem cells that produce bird feathers have been visualized and analyzed for the first time, signifying the initial step in a scientific journey that may ultimately shed light on human organ regeneration.   view more (2005-12-15)

Administering stem cells to patients with myocardial infarction leads to a reduction of the infarct
This week, doctors at the Catholic University of Leuven, connected with the University Hospital-Gasthuisberg, the Stem Cell Institute Leuven (SCIL), and the Flanders Interuniversity Institute for Biotechnology (VIB), are publishing a major breakthrough in the treatment of patients with acute... view more (2006-01-10)

U-M researchers dispute widely held ideas about stem cells
How do adult stem cells protect themselves from accumulating genetic mutations that can lead to cancer?   view more (2007-08-30)

New hope for regenerative medicine
In the February 15th issue of G&D, Dr. K. John McLaughlin and colleagues report on their success in using uniparental embryonic stem cells to replace blood stem cells in mice.   view more (2007-02-15)

Nuffield Council On Bioethics Concerned About Amendments To EU Directive On Tissues & Cells
The Nuffield Council on Bioethics has written to MEPs expressing concern about proposed amendments to the European Directive on tissues and cells, due to be discussed in the European Parliament next week (15 - 18 December). The proposals could restrict or even ban the creation of embryos for... view more (2003-12-11)

Human derived stem cells can repair rat hearts damaged by heart attack
When human heart muscle cells derived from embryonic stem cells are implanted into a rat after a heart attack, they can help rebuild the animal's heart muscle and improve function of the organ, scientists report in the September issue of Nature Biotechnology.   view more (2007-08-27)

Government cash injection for University spin-out company's stem cell research
A spin-out company from the University of Nottingham has been awarded around £250,000 of Government funding to develop innovative stem cell therapies that could one day provide new treatments for patients suffering from illnesses including Parkinson's disease and stroke.   view more (2005-01-24)

A new link between stem cells and tumors
Scientists at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) in Heidelberg and the Institute of Biomedical Research of the Parc Cient√≠fic de Barcelona (IRB-PCB) have now added key evidence to claims that some types of cancer originate with defects in stem cells.   view more (2005-09-06)

Brain size may depend upon how neural cells are cleaved
Howard Hughes Medical Institute researchers have discovered a novel way in which the brain size of developing mammals may be regulated. They have identified a signaling pathway that controls the orientation in which dividing neural progenitor cells are cleaved during development.   view more (2005-07-15)

Food Supplementation With Folic Acid Could Substantially Reduce Neural-Tube Defects (p 2047)
A public-health initiative to enrich cereal grain foods in Canada with folic acid has halved the prevalence of neural-tube defects among both unborn and newborn children, report authors of a research letter in this week's issue of THE LANCET. Folic acid tablet supplementation around the time of... view more (2002-12-18)
