In a giant step towards understanding prostate disease, Melbourne scientists have grown a human prostate from embryonic stem cells. view more (2006-02-23)
Mass. General study finds potential ovarian cancer stem cells
Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) researchers have identified potential ovarian cancer stem cells, which may be behind the difficulty of treating these tumors with standard chemotherapy. view more (2006-07-24)
Early-stage sperm cells created from human bone marrow
Human bone marrow has been used to create early-stage sperm cells for the first time, a scientific step forward that will help researchers understand more about how sperm cells are created. view more (2007-04-13)
A new method of adult stem cell growth efficacious in treatment of disorders of the cornea
A new method of adult stem cell growth, designed in the Area of Cellular Therapy of the University Clinic (University of Navarra), has demonstrated its efficacy for its capacity to grow cornea stem cells. view more (2007-07-20)
Research Europe 26 September issue: stories on cancer strategy, stem cell concessions, Cost control, aquaculture funding and Schröder`s victory
Commission plans cancer strategy The Commission is planning a European strategy on cancer research. This will include a list of common priorities for funding under Framework 6, the coordination of national research to avoid duplication and fragmentation, and a push for the harmonisation of... view more (2002-09-26)
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)
Possible birthplace of malignant brain tumors identified
Researchers have found that abnormal stimulation of a cellular trigger that normally regulates replenishment of brain cells in adults causes invasive tumor-like growths in mice. view more (2006-07-20)
Stem cell research aims to tackle Parkinson's disease
Scientists in Sweden are developing new ways to grow brain cells in the laboratory that could one day be used to treat patients with Parkinson's disease, an international conference of biologists organised by the European Science Foundation (ESF) was told last week. view more (2008-01-21)
Stem cell transplant can grow new immune system in certain mice, Stanford researchers find
Researchers at the Stanford University School of Medicine have taken a small but significant step, in mouse studies, toward the goal of transplanting adult stem cells to create a new immune system for people with autoimmune or genetic blood diseases. view more (2007-11-26)
Stem-cell transfer could improve cardiac functioning after heart attack (pp 121, 141)
Results of a randomised trial in this week's issue of THE LANCET suggest that the transfer of adult stem cells derived from bone marrow could improve cardiac functioning after heart attack. Evidence is emerging that adult stem cells from bone marrow have therapeutic potential for restoring cardiac... view more (2004-07-07)
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... view more (2004-07-07)
New stem cell technique improves genetic alteration
UC Irvine researchers have discovered a dramatically improved method for genetically manipulating human embryonic stem cells, making it easier for scientists to study and potentially treat thousands of disorders ranging from Huntington's disease to muscular dystrophy and diabetes. view more (2008-03-10)
Chemotherapy can be more toxic to brain cells than to cancer cells and may cause brain damage
Drugs used to treat cancer may damage normal, healthy brain cells more than the cancer cells they are meant to target. view more (2006-11-30)
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)
Master switches found for adult blood stem cells
Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center scientists have found a set of "master switches" that keep adult blood-forming stem cells in their primitive state. view more (2007-02-12)
Stretching bone marrow stem cells pushes them towards becoming blood vessel
When stretched, a type of adult stem cell taken from bone marrow can be nudged towards becoming the type of tissue found in blood vessels, according to a new study by bioengineers at the University of California, Berkeley. view more (2006-10-24)
UM researchers find new marker to identify cancer stem cells
Researchers at the University of Michigan Comprehensive Cancer Center have found a marker that can be used to identify stem cells in breast tumors, suggesting a potential simple test that could help determine the best treatment for breast cancer. view more (2007-12-04)
Gene, stem cell therapy only needs to be 50 percent effective to create a healthy heart
Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States and greatly affects the quality and length of life for individuals with specific forms of muscular dystrophy. view more (2007-11-01)
Ethical Guidelines Presented for Swedish Stem Cell Research
In brief, the guidelines mean that researchers may take stem cells from embryos that can no longer be used for further IVF treatment. Moreover, the creation of embryos by somatic cell nuclear transfer (therapeutic cloning) to get access to stem cells is deemed to be ethically defensible. The reason... view more (2001-12-04)
Sickle cell disease corrected in human models using stem cell-based gene therapy
In a study to be published in the January 2006 issue of Nature Biotechnology, researchers led by a team of scientists at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center have devised a novel strategy that uses stem cell-based gene therapy and RNA interference to genetically reverse sickle cell disease (SCD)... view more (2005-12-29)
