Findings advance use of adult stem cells for replacement bone
In a significant advance for regenerative medicine, researchers at Rice University have discovered a new way to culture adult stem cells from bone marrow such that the cells themselves produce a growth matrix that is rich in important biochemical growth factors.   view more (2006-02-14)

Human embryonic stem cell -- derived bone tissue closes massive skull injury
There are mice in Baltimore whose skulls were made whole again by bone tissue grown from human embryonic stem cells (hESCs).   view more (2007-12-03)

Reversible 3-D cell culture gel invented
Singapore's Institute of Bioengineering and Nanotechnology (IBN), which celebrates its fifth anniversary this year, has invented a unique user-friendly gel that can liquefy on demand, with the potential to revolutionize three-dimensional (3D) cell culture for medical research.   view more (2008-09-29)

Stem cells give clues to understanding cancer and make breakthrough in childhood leukaemia
Scientists in Switzerland are uncovering new clues about how cancer cells grow - and how they can be killed - by studying stem cells, 'blank' cells that have the potential to develop into fully mature or 'differentiated' cells and other scientists in UK have made a breakthrough in understanding the... view more (2008-02-14)

Human stem cells show promise against fatal children's diseases
Scientists have used human stem cells to dramatically improve the condition of mice with a neurological condition similar to a set of diseases in children that are invariably fatal, according to an article in the June issue of the journal Cell Stem Cell.   view more (2008-06-05)

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)

Embryonic stem cells accrue genetic changes
An international team of researchers has discovered that human embryonic stem cell lines accumulate changes in their genetic material over time.   view more (2005-09-06)

Run amok enzyme causes same problems in both humans and fruit flies
An enzyme found at elevated levels in several human cancers has been linked to abnormal tumor growth in fruit flies, a discovery that provides a new model for understanding the link between stem cell biology and cancer, according to researchers at the University of Oregon.   view more (2006-12-19)

Factor stimulates cartilage growth from stem cells
A novel growth factor significantly improves the ability of specialized stem cells derived from human fat to be transformed into cartilage cells, according to Duke University Medical Center and Pratt School of Engineering researchers.   view more (2006-04-05)

Jefferson scientists uncover role of cancer stem cell marker: controlling gene expression
Scientists at Jefferson's Kimmel Cancer Center in Philadelphia have made an extraordinary advance in the understanding of the function of a gene previously shown to be part of an 11-gene "signature" that can predict which tumors will be aggressive and likely to spread.   view more (2008-01-18)

Daisies lead scientists down path to new leukemia drug
A new, easily ingested form of a compound that has already shown it can attack the roots of leukemia in laboratory studies is moving into human clinical trials, according to a new article by University of Rochester investigators in the journal, Blood.   view more (2007-10-03)

Fish eyes could hold clue to repairing damaged retinas in humans
A special type of cell found in the eye has been found to be very important in regenerating the retina in zebrafish and restoring vision even after extensive damage.   view more (2007-08-01)

Simple chemical procedure augments therapeutic potential of stem cells
Adult stem cells resemble couch potatoes if they hang out and divide in a dish for too long. They get fat and lose key surface proteins, which interferes with their movement and reduces their therapeutic potential. Now, via a simple chemical procedure, researchers have found a way to get these... view more (2008-10-31)

Not all embryonic stem cell lines are created equal
When it comes to generating neurons, researchers have found that not all embryonic stem (ES) cell lines are equal. In comparing neurons generated from two NIH-approved embryonic stem cell lines, scientists have uncovered significant differences in the mature, functioning neurons generated from each... view more (2007-08-07)

There goes the neighborhood: Vascular niche nurtures brain tumor stem cells
Self-renewing cancer stem cells (CSCs) comprise only a tiny fraction of most brain tumors, but eliminating them is likely to have a profound impact on the ability of a tumor to survive and grow.   view more (2007-01-17)

Use eggs, not embryos, to derive stem cells, say researchers
Concerns about the ethics of using embryos created to treat infertile couples for stem cell research is discussed by researchers at St Mary's Hospital, Manchester in this week's BMJ. Although the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Act 1990 allows the creation of embryos for research in the United... view more (2003-10-08)

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)

Stem cells derived from adult testes produce wide range of tissue types
After a decade of research, Howard Hughes Medical Institute scientists have succeeded in reprogramming adult stem cells from the testes of male mice into functional blood vessels and contractile cardiac tissue.   view more (2007-09-20)

Cloned mice created from fully differentiated cells, a milestone in cloning research
New research dismisses the notion that adult stem cells are necessary for successful animal cloning, proving instead that cells that have completely evolved to a specific type not only can be used for cloning purposes, but they may be a better and more efficient starting point.   view more (2006-10-02)

Parkinson's approach with stem cells a promising first step
Brain cells derived from human embryonic stem cells improved the condition of rats with Parkinson's-like symptoms dramatically, but the treatment caused a significant problem - the appearance of brain tumors - that scientists are now working to solve.   view more (2006-12-04)

U of MN uses robotic surgery techniques in cardiac cell therapy research
Researchers at the University of Minnesota were successful in using robotic surgery to deliver stem cell treatment to damaged heart tissue in pigs.   view more (2006-08-01)

Advanced therapy offers cure for relapsed cancer patient
Testicular cancer patients who do not respond to traditional therapy can be cured with high-dose chemotherapy and a stem cell transplant.   view more (2007-07-26)

Molecular alliance that sustains embryonic stem cell state
One of the four ingredients in the genetic recipe that scientists in Japan and the U.S. followed last year to persuade human skin cells to revert to an embryonic stem cell state, is dispensable in ES cells, thanks to the presence of a molecular alliance between a specific group of key proteins... view more (2008-03-05)

New research targets treatment for dementia and brain injuries
Queensland Brain Institute (QBI) researchers have identified a process that could lead to development of repair mechanisms for people suffering from dementia and acquired brain injury.   view more (2005-11-29)

Will stem cell-based treatments make a difference to the developing world?
A new study in the open access journal PLoS Medicine suggests that developing countries could benefit enormously from the new field of regenerative medicine, in which treatments are being developed from stem cells.   view more (2006-09-12)
