Potential heart benefit found in stem cells
Stem cell transplantation is among one of the most exciting and hotly debated areas of medical research today.   view more (2006-03-14)

Stem Cell Activity Deciphered in the Aging Brain
Neurobiologists have discovered why the aging brain produces progressively fewer new nerve cells in its learning and memory center. The scientists said the finding, made in rodents, refutes current ideas on how long crucial "progenitor" stem cells persist in the aging brain.   view more (2006-12-19)

New directions in tissue repair and regeneration
PHILOSOPHICAL TRANSACTIONS B MAY ISSUE New directions in tissue repair and regeneration - a discussion meeting issue organised and edited by Jeremy Brockes and Paul Martin This volume will consider new information on regeneration and wound healing as biological mechanisms in a variety of... view more (2004-05-04)

Brain stem cells sensitive to space radiation
Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) scientists recently led a team of researchers to study potential effects of space radiation on astronauts.   view more (2007-12-12)

Human muscle-derived stem cells effective in animal models of incontinence
Human muscle-derived cells, pluripotent stem cells found in muscle, have been used to cure stress urinary incontinence in animal models, a finding which signals that these cells are prime candidates to treat the condition in adults.   view more (2005-09-01)

Stem cells in adult testes provide alternative to embryonic stem cells for organ regeneration
Easily accessed and plentiful, adult stem cells found in a male patient's testicles might someday be used to create a wide range of tissue types to help him fight disease -- getting around the need for more controversial embryonic stem cells.   view more (2007-09-20)

Stem Cell Study for Patients with Heart Attack Damage Seeks to Regenerate Heart Muscle
Rush cardiologists are hoping that transplanted stem cells can regenerate damaged heart muscle in those who experience a first heart attack. The study involves an intravenous infusion of adult mesenchymal stem cells from healthy donor bone marrow that might possibly reverse damage to heart tissue.   view more (2006-04-21)

Mayo researchers explore issues related to multiple myeloma treatment
Multiple myeloma (MM) is a cancer of plasma cells that affects approximately 3 in 100,000 people each year. Although there is no cure for this disease, researchers have developed treatments that help relieve pain, control complications, and slow the progress of MM in many patients.   view more (2008-10-07)

Scientists successfully awaken sleeping stem cells
Scientists at Schepens Eye Research Institute have discovered what chemical in the eye triggers the dormant capacity of certain non-neuronal cells to transform into progenitor cells, a stem-like cell that can generate new retinal cells.   view more (2008-03-19)

Effects of aging in stem cells
There is little disagreement that the body's maintenance and repair systems deteriorate with age, even as there is plenty of disagreement as to why.   view more (2007-07-24)

Stem cells: therapies for the future? Press conference (18 December)
The European Commission (DG Research), has organised the conference "Stem Cells: Therapies for the Future?" to provide a discussion platform for representatives of society and encourage debate on the multiple issues surrounding recent advances in stem cell research. This initiative was launched... view more (2001-12-14)

Adult stem cell application effective in treatment of peripheric vascular disease
Multipotent adult progenitor stem cells extracted from bone marrow, and known as MAPCs, have proved to be effective in the regeneration of blood vessel tissue and also in muscle tissue when treating peripheric vascular disease.   view more (2008-01-25)

Stem cells could reveal secrets of illness in later life
Mums to be have known for some time that what they eat when pregnant affects their unborn child but now scientists believe that the diet of our mothers during pregnancy may even affect our predisposition to illnesses such as heart disease, diabetes and high blood pressure in late life.   view more (2004-12-24)

Study sheds light on signaling mechanism in stem cells, cancer
UCSF scientists have illuminated a key step in a signaling pathway that helps orchestrate embryonic development.   view more (2005-10-26)

Molecule prompts blood stem cells to help repair heart damage in animal model
Researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have for the first time used drug-treated blood stem cells to repair heart damage in an animal model, results that might point to methods for healing injuries from heart attacks or disease.   view more (2008-04-15)

UF researchers test stem cell therapy for heart patients
University of Florida doctors on Wednesday (Oct. 3) treated their first patient enrolled in a new study designed to test whether injecting stem cells into the heart helps restore blood flow to the organ by prompting new blood vessels to grow.   view more (2007-10-05)

Novel molecular 'signature' marks DNA of embryonic stem cells
A team of scientists announced today a critical step on the path of realizing the promise of embryonic stem (ES) cells for medicine.   view more (2006-04-21)

Researchers find stem-cell therapy effective in targeting metastatic cancer
Patients with advanced cancer that has spread to many different sites often do not have many treatment options, since they would be unable to tolerate the doses of treatment they would need to kill the tumors.   view more (2006-12-21)

Rapid restoration of immunity in immune-suppressed cancer patients using T-cell vaccines
Patients with multiple myeloma suffer from a malignant proliferation of plasma cells in their bone marrow.   view more (2005-10-21)

Mouse model reveals that oncoprotein induces abnormal preleukemic blood cell progenitors
Scientists have developed a novel mouse model for leukemia that reveals critical information about the mechanisms involved in leukemia progression and provides a model system for evaluation of new drugs for treatment of leukemia.   view more (2006-01-18)

Cancer patients monitor fatigue in real time
Fatigue is one of the most common and distressing symptoms cancer patients experience during chemotherapy and radiation treatment, but it's difficult for health care professionals to accurately assess its severity.   view more (2007-05-04)

Two-year delay at UN must not stop immediate International efforts to curb reproductive cloning
The Human Cloning Policy Institute (HCPI) continues to press its World Court Initiative asking the United Nations General Assembly, the World Health Organization (WHO) and UNESCO to seek an advisory opinion from the International Court of Justice declaring human reproductive cloning a "crime... view more (2003-11-07)

Stem cell study seeks to prevent heart failure
University of Rochester Medical Center researchers today announced the launch of a study that will examine whether transplanted stem cells can be safely used to treat damaged heart muscle in patients just after their first heart attack.   view more (2006-01-25)
