Brain tumors may originate with neural stem cells, researchers say Researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have determined that stem cells in a certain region of the brain may be the source of a particular type of incurable brain tumor and may be implicated in other types of brain cancers as well. view more (2005-08-16)
Technique to arrest urinary incontinence The University Hospital of Navarra is to carry out clinical trials for urinary incontinence using the intraurethral injection of myoblasts (adult stem cells obtained by means of a biopsy of the patient). view more (2006-10-04)
Embryonic stem cells could help to overcome immune rejection problems Tissues derived from embryonic stem (ES) cells could help to pacify the immune system and so prevent recipients from rejecting them, the UK National Stem Cell Network Science Meeting will hear today (11 April). view more (2008-04-11)
Press Invitation: The science of stem cells - December Symposium at Imperial College PRESS INVITATION 28 November 2000 As the British parliament prepares to debate a change in the law to allow stem cells from human embryos to be used in research, Imperial College researchers will gather at a Symposium in December to discuss the science behind stem cells, and examine their... view more (2000-11-29)
Widespread support for nonembryonic stem cell research, VCU Life Sciences Survey shows The VCU Life Sciences Survey is the first poll to reflect the discovery reported internationally in November that human skin cells can be used to create stem cells or their near equivalents. When asked about the implications of this development, more than six in 10, or 63 percent, say that both... view more (2007-12-19)
Study shows isolation of stem cells may lead to a treatment for hearing loss Have you ever walked by someone listening to their i-Pod loud enough for you recognize the song? Studies have shown noise-induced hearing loss is going to become the next big epidemic affecting our younger generation though the effects won't show until it is too late to treat. view more (2007-04-06)
Stomach stem cell discovery could bring cancer insights Scientists have identified and described stem cells specific to several tissues and organs of the body - key master cells that give rise to the specialized cell types characteristic of that organ. view more (2007-10-04)
Public funding impacts progress of human embryonic stem cell research Bolstered by supportive policies and public research dollars, the United Kingdom, Israel, China, Singapore and Australia are producing unusually large shares of human embryonic stem cell research, according to a report from the Georgia Institute of Technology in the June 2008 issue Cell Stem Cell. view more (2008-06-05)
Potential for Adult Stem Cells to Repair Hearts Damaged by Severe Coronary Artery Disease Investigated by Rush Cardiologists Rush University Medical Center is one of the first medical centers in the country, and currently the only site in Illinois, participating in a novel clinical trial to determine if a subject's own stem cells can treat a form of severe coronary artery disease. view more (2007-02-02)
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)
Brittlestar provides new model for stem cell research The brittlestar, Amphiura filiformis, is a close relative of the starfish and can regenerate lost arms in a matter of weeks. view more (2006-04-10)
Ground rules for Finnish research on embryos and stem cells Finnish researchers held a discussion forum on embryonic and stem cell research in November 2001. The researchers surveyed the use of embryos and stem cells in Finnish research and discussed the goals, fields of emphasis and ethical principles of this research in Finland. More than 140 researchers... view more (2002-02-20)
First Trial in the U.S. to Treat Both Ischemic & Non-Ischemic Heart Failure to be Performed by U of U Researchers Using Patient's Own Stem Cells Researchers at the University of Utah are enrolling people in a new clinical trial that uses a patient's own stem cells to treat ischemic and non-ischemic heart failure. view more (2008-11-18)
Neural stem cell gene plays crucial role in eye development Scientists at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill have demonstrated that normal development of the eye requires the right amount of a neural stem cell gene be expressed at the right time and place. view more (2006-05-16)
Short RNA strand helps exposed skin cells protect body from bacteria, dehydration and even cancer Every minute, 30,000 of our outermost skin cells die so that we can live. When they do, new cells migrate from the inner layer of the skin to the surface of it, where they form a tough protective barrier. view more (2008-03-03)
Adult stem cell changes underlie rare genetic disease associated with accelerated aging Adult stem cells may provide an explanation for the cause of a Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome (HGPS), a rare disease that causes premature aging in children, according to researchers at the National Cancer Institute (NCI), part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). view more (2008-03-03)
Mad-cow culprit maintains stem cells What do mad cow disease and stem cell research have in common? Whitehead Institute scientists have found that the same protein that causes neurodegenerative conditions such as bovine spongiform encephalopathy (mad cow disease) is also important for helping certain adult stem cells maintain... view more (2006-01-31)
Researchers aim to cut future need for liver transplants University of Edinburgh scientists have identified primitive liver cells —possibly dormant from the earliest developmental stage of a human being — which have the potential to mature into different cells types and help repair a failing liver. view more (2006-07-07)
Putting stem cell research on the fast track Engineers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute have developed tools to help solve two of the main problems slowing the progress of stem cell research - how to quickly test stem cell response to different drugs or genes, and how to create a large supply of healthy, viable stem cells to study from... view more (2007-09-13)
