Mice could provide the key to growing human lungs for transplant
Scientists from Imperial College London have successfully directed mouse stem cells to turn into the type of cells needed for gas exchange in lungs, bringing the prospect of being able to regenerate damaged lung tissue, and even the creation of artificially grown lungs one step closer. Dr Anne... view more (2002-05-15)

Will stem cell-based treatments make a difference to the developing world?
A new study in the open access journal PLoS Medicine suggests that developing countries could benefit enormously from the new field of regenerative medicine, in which treatments are being developed from stem cells.   view more (2006-09-12)

More recycling on the farm could reduce environmental problems
Growing environmental problems resulting from farming argue for a shift toward practices that use lower inputs of pesticides and energy and more recycling of energy and materials.   view more (2007-05-01)

Stanford scientists make major breakthrough in regenerative medicine
Findings described in a new study by Stanford scientists may be the first step toward a major revolution in human regenerative medicine-a future where advanced organ damage can be repaired by the body itself.   view more (2007-04-25)

Mechanism for regulation of growth and differentiation of adult muscle stem cells is revealed
During muscle regeneration, which is a natural response to injury and disease, environmental cues cause adult muscle stem cells (satellite cells) to shift from dormancy to actively building new muscle tissue.   view more (2007-12-10)

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)

Role for microRNAs in limb regeneration
In the March 15th issue of G&D, Dr. Kenneth Poss (Duke University Medical Center) and colleagues reveal that microRNA depletion is a necessary step in tissue regeneration - a discovery with interesting implications for their use in regenerative medicine.   view more (2008-03-17)

Regulating Californian stem cell research, and more
Regulations governing human stem cell research must strive to assure strict oversight while simultaneously fostering scientific innovation through collaboration, says a group of scientists from the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine (CIRM), one of the world's largest supporters of such... view more (2007-05-08)

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... view more (2007-05-04)

Oxygen deprived brains repaired and saved
Scientists from Melbourne's Howard Florey Institute have found special proteins that protect the brain after it has been damaged by a lack of oxygen, which occurs in conditions such as stroke, perinatal asphyxia, near-drowning and traumatic brain injury.   view more (2006-08-25)

STORMY TIMES AHEAD - the future climate of north-west Europe Could the ice sheet in the Arctic be the storehouse for major climate changes over the... view more (2003-11-17)

The sturdier sex? — Study by Pittsburgh scientists finds female stem cells work better
Female stem cells derived from muscle have a greater ability to regenerate skeletal muscle tissue than male cells, according to a study at Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh of UPMC.   view more (2007-04-10)

USC stem cell study sheds new light on cell mechanism
Research from the University of Southern California (USC) has discovered a new mechanism to allow embryonic stem cells to divide indefinitely and remain undifferentiated.   view more (2008-05-22)

University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine researchers develop 'off-the-shelf' vascular grafts
University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine investigators have engineered artificial blood vessels from muscle-derived stem cells (MDSCs) and a biodegradable polymer that exhibit extensive remodeling and remain free of blockages when grafted into rats.   view more (2007-06-18)

Chemotherapy gel may fight breast cancer and reduce breast deformity
Women who undergo surgery for breast cancer followed by radiation therapy often experience breast deformities that can only be corrected through reconstructive surgery.   view more (2006-04-25)

Forsyth scientists discover early key to regeneration
Science may be one step closer to understanding how a limb can be grown or a spinal cord can be repaired. Scientists at The Forsyth Institute have discovered that some cells have to die for regeneration to occur.   view more (2006-12-13)

Nottingham biosciences million pound injection
Nottingham's strength as a UK Science City is further underlined today, with news that the Wellcome Trust, the UK's largest medical research charity, has awarded almost £1 million to an innovative biosciences company.   view more (2007-07-30)

Imperial College Press Invitation - Getting under the skin of 'the Human Body'.
Scientists from Imperial College, and filmmakers have once again combined their talents to produce incredible new footage for 'The Human Body', IMAX version. The series, originally shown on BBC1 and narrated by professor Lord Robert Winston, received critical acclaim, but since then, new footage... view more (2002-05-17)

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... view more (2007-03-20)

Key to zebrafish heart regeneration uncovered
When a portion of a zebrafish's heart is removed, the dynamic interplay between a mass of stem cells that forms in the wound and the protective cell layer that covers the wound spurs the regeneration of functional new heart tissue.   view more (2006-11-03)

Rice and UT-Houston join DOD push for regenerative medicine
The Department of Defense (DOD) today announced that Rice University and the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston will spearhead the search for innovative ways to quickly grow large volumes of bone tissue for craniofacial reconstruction for soldiers wounded in Iraq and Afghanistan.   view more (2008-04-18)
