UCI launches effort to develop patient-specific stem cell lines
UC Irvine neurobiologist Hans Keirstead and his research team today launched a project to develop stem cell lines that genetically match human patients. view more (2007-05-15)
With few factors, adult cells take on character of embryonic stem cells
With the introduction of just four factors, researchers have successfully induced differentiated cells taken from mouse embryos or adult mice to behave like embryonic stem cells. view more (2006-08-25)
Molecular marker identifies normal stem cells as intestinal tumor source
Scientists at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital have answered a central question in cancer biology: whether normal stem cells can give rise to tumors. view more (2008-12-18)
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)
Stem cell therapy successfully treats heart attack in animals
Final results of a study conducted at Johns Hopkins show that stem cell therapy can be used effectively to treat heart attacks, or myocardial infarction, in pigs. view more (2005-07-26)
How an enzyme tells stem cells which way to divide
Driving Miranda, a protein in fruit flies crucial to switch a stem cell's fate, is not as complex as biologists thought, according to University of Oregon biochemists. They've found that one enzyme (aPKC) stands alone and acts as a traffic cop that directs which roads daughter cells will take. view more (2009-05-14)
Developing cancer treatments directed at critical developmental pathway
Researchers from the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine and colleagues discovered that the Notch signaling pathway, which determines the development of many cell types, and is also implicated in some cancers, is not universally essential for the maintenance of stem cells. view more (2008-04-11)
Clues to breast cancer hidden inside stem cells
Stem cells and how to boost them is hot on the research agenda. But stopping them could be critical too, as evidence implicating stem cells in cancer is mounting. view more (2006-04-25)
World premiere in stem cell research in Montreal
A team from the Institute for Research in Immunology and Cancer (IRIC) at Université de Montréal has succeeded in producing a large quantity of laboratory stem cells from a small number of blood stem cells obtained from bone marrow. view more (2009-04-17)
Cancer stem cells similar to normal stem cells can thwart anti-cancer agents
Current cancer therapies often succeed at initially eliminating the bulk of the disease, including all rapidly proliferating cells, but are eventually thwarted because they cannot eliminate a small reservoir of multiple-drug-resistant tumor cells, called cancer stem cells, which ultimately become the source of disease recurrence and eventual... view more...

New findings on the formation of body pigment
The skin's pigment cells can be formed from completely different cells than has hitherto been thought, a new study from the Swedish medical university Karolinska Institutet shows. The results, which are published in the journal Cell, also mean the discovery of a new kind of stem cell. view more (2009-10-19)
Cancer is a stem cell issue
There is an urgent reason to study stem cells: stem cells are at the heart of some, if not all, cancers. view more (2007-02-20)
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)
Blood Stem Cell Transplantation and Autoimmune Diseases
Study of Lupus Patient Confirms Promise of Stem Cell Transplant Therapy view more (2002-05-30)
Can you hear me now? Stem cells enhance hearing recovery
Researchers have shown that bone marrow stem cells injected into a damaged inner ear can speed hearing recovery after partial hearing loss. view more (2007-06-25)
US trails other countries in publishing embryonic stem cell studies, Stanford researcher finds
The fear that U.S. researchers might lose ground to their international counterparts in carrying out human embryonic stem cell research now appears to have become a fact. view more (2006-04-10)
U-M researchers link pathway to breast cancer stem cells
A gene well known to stop or suppress cancer plays a role in cancer stem cells, according to a new study from the University of Michigan Comprehensive Cancer Center. The researchers found that several pathways linked to the gene, called PTEN, also affected the growth of breast cancer stem cells. view more (2009-06-02)
Natural protein stops deadly human brain cancer in mice
Scientists from Johns Hopkins and from the University of Milan have effectively proven that they can inhibit lethal human brain cancers in mice using a protein that selectively induces positive changes in the activity of cells that behave like cancer stem cells. view more (2006-12-08)
Researchers discover human embryonic stem cells are the ultimate perpetual fuel cell
A startling discovery on the development of human embryonic stem cells by scientists at McMaster University will change how future research in the area is done. view more (2007-07-12)
USC researchers identify mechanism that controls activation of stem cells during hair regeneration
Researchers at the University of Southern California (USC) have identified a novel cyclic signaling in the dermis that coordinates stem cell activity and regulates regeneration in large populations of hairs in animal models. view more (2008-01-17)
