Parthenogenetic stem cells don`t solve embryo ethical problems
The isolation by Advanced Cell Technologies of primate stem cells derived from parthenogenetic embryos represents a significant technical development, but not the ethical breakthrough which the paper hopes for. Indeed it raises some disturbing ethical issues.   view more (2002-02-01)

Research Europe 1 August issue: embryo delays, Commission intelligence, Framework's impact, aerospace R&D and Finnish plans.
Ministers put off embryo decision A final decision on Framework 6's approach to research involving human embryos and embryonic stem cells is likely to be delayed until the end of 2003. However, under a compromise expected to be agreed by EU member states in coming weeks, work on existing stocks of... view more (2002-08-01)

UCI researchers discover key factor for survival of human embryonic stem cells
Human embryonic stem cells (hES) offer great hope for the treatment of some devastating diseases, but finding a way to keep enough of these cells usable and healthy for transplantation in patients has been an ongoing problem.   view more (2006-02-17)

Yamanaka eliminates viral vector in stem cell reprogramming
Shinya Yamanaka MD, PhD, of Kyoto University and the Gladstone Institute of Cardiovascular Disease (GICD) has taken another step forward in improving the possibilities for the practical application of induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cell technology.   view more (2008-10-13)

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)

New research could help us deliver genes for new bone formation
UK scientists are working on new methods to regenerate cartilage and bone by delivering genes to stem cells within the body to instruct them to turn into bone cells.   view more (2005-09-29)

From lung to gut - the Wnt signaling pathway transforms cell fate
Researchers have uncovered a cellular mechanism that can alter the fate of progenitor cells that normally generate the lung, causing them to create gut cells instead. The findings, which are published this week in the top-tier Open Access journal, Journal of Biology, could help researchers hoping... view more (2004-06-03)

MIT identifies cells for spinal-cord repair
A researcher at MIT's Picower Institute for Learning and Memory has pinpointed stem cells within the spinal cord that, if persuaded to differentiate into more healing cells and fewer scarring cells following an injury, may lead to a new, non-surgical treatment for debilitating spinal-cord injuries.   view more (2008-07-22)

DFG puts forward new recommendations for stem cell research
International stem cell research has yielded important new findings in recent years, especially in research on human embryonic stem cells. It has extended and enhanced our knowledge of the properties of stem cells, for example in connection with regenerative cell treatment or the investigation of... view more (2006-11-13)

Human embryonic stem cells have the potential to develop into eggs and sperm in the laboratory
Scientists in the UK have proved that human embryonic stem cells can develop in the laboratory into the early forms of cells that eventually become eggs or sperm.   view more (2005-06-20)

Ireland Cancer Center researchers advance stem cell gene therapy
Ireland Cancer Center of University Hospitals Case Medical Center researchers have recently made great strides in stem cell gene therapy research by transferring a new gene to cancer patients, via their own stem cells, with the ultimate goal of being able to use stronger chemotherapy treatment with... view more (2007-12-13)

OHSU discovery sheds light into how stem cells become brain cells
Researchers at the Oregon National Primate Research Center at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) have discovered one key gene that appears to control how stem cells become various kinds of brain cells.   view more (2005-12-15)

Stem cells' electric abilities might help their safe clinical use
Researchers from Johns Hopkins have discovered the presence of functional ion channels in human embryonic stem cells (ESCs).   view more (2005-10-21)

Studies find general mechanism of cellular aging
Three separate studies confirm a gene that suppresses tumor cell growth also plays a key role in aging.   view more (2006-09-07)

Stanford researchers find culprit in aging muscles that heal poorly
Communication is critical. Garbled in, garbled out, so to (mis-)speak. Workers who get incomplete instructions produce an incomplete product, and that's exactly what happens with the stem cells in our aging muscles.   view more (2007-08-10)

Insight into neural stem cells has implications for designing therapies
Scientists have discovered that adult neural stem cells, which exist in the brain throughout life, are not a single, homogeneous group.   view more (2007-07-09)

A functional immune system can be derived from embryonic stem cells, preliminary study finds
A new study demonstrates for the first time that embryonic stem cells can be used to create functional immune system blood cells, a finding which is an important step in the utilization of embryonic stem cells as an alternative source of cells for bone marrow transplantation.   view more (2008-02-13)

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)

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.
