Stem-cell transplantation improves muscles in MD animal model, UT Southwestern researchers report
Using embryonic stem cells from mice, UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers have prompted the growth of healthy - and more importantly, functioning - muscle cells in mice afflicted with a human model of Duchenne muscular dystrophy.   view more (2008-01-21)

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)

Adult stem cells may be beneficial for certain cardiovascular disorders and autoimmune diseases
A review of previously published research suggests that stem cells harvested from an adult's blood or marrow may provide treatment benefit to select patients for some autoimmune diseases and cardiovascular disorders.   view more (2008-02-27)

Jefferson researchers uncover genetic signature that predicts colon cancer
Researchers at Jefferson Medical College in Philadelphia have uncovered a genetic "signature" that accurately identifies colon cancer-a key, they hope, to better understand how the cancer develops.   view more (2006-04-05)

Standards in stem cell research
Standards in stem cell research help both scientists and regulators to manage uncertainty and the unknown, according to new research funded by the Economic and Social Research Council.   view more (2008-07-21)

Embryonic stem cells used to grow cartilage
Rice University biomedical engineers have developed a new technique for growing cartilage from human embryonic stem cells, a method that could be used to grow replacement cartilage for the surgical repair of knee, jaw, hip, and other joints.   view more (2007-09-07)

Man-made prostate created by women
In a giant step towards understanding prostate disease, Melbourne scientists have grown a human prostate from embryonic stem cells.   view more (2006-02-23)

Scientists prove that disputed Korean stem cell line comes from an unfertilized egg and not cloning
Can a genetic signature identify the origin of a human stem cell line? Scientists report that a widely available method for comprehensive genetic analysis can help distinguish the type of human embryo that stem cells come from.   view more (2007-08-03)

Dental stem cells have been characterized for tooth tissue engineering
Today, during the 84th General Session of the International Association for Dental Research, a team from The Forsyth Institute (Boston, MA, USA) will report that their research has demonstrated that mixed populations of cultured post-natal tooth bud cells can be used to generate bioengineered... view more (2006-06-29)

TAU Researchers Create New Stem Cell Screening Tool
Stem cell research is the next great leap in medicine. In the future, new tissue grown in a laboratory could replace a failing heart, or new cells take the place of damaged cells in the brain.   view more (2008-09-05)

UCLA researchers find blood stem cells originate and are nurtured in the placenta
Solving a long-standing biological mystery, UCLA stem cell researchers have discovered that blood stem cells, the cells that later differentiate into all the cells in the blood supply, originate and are nurtured in the placenta.   view more (2008-03-06)

Human stem cell transplants mature into neurons and make contacts in rat spinal cord
Human nerve stem cells transplanted into rats' damaged spinal cords have survived, grown and in some cases connected with the rats' own spinal cord cells in a Johns Hopkins laboratory, overturning the long-held notion that spinal cords won't allow nerve repair.   view more (2007-02-14)

Jefferson researchers find stem cells in degenerating spinal discs, potential for repair
Orthopedic researchers at Jefferson Medical College have for the first time found stem cells in the intervertebral discs of the human spine, suggesting that such cells might someday be used to help repair degenerating discs and remedy lower back and neck pain.   view more (2007-11-01)

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)

Cancer stem cells spur glioma Angiogenesis, could hold key to brain tumor therapy
Stem cell-like glioma cancer cells that share many characteristics with normal stem cells propel the lethal growth of brain cancers by promoting tumor blood vessel formation, and may hold the key to treating these deadly cancers.   view more (2006-08-15)

Stem Cell Activity Deciphered in the Aging Brain
Neurobiologists have discovered why the aging brain produces progressively fewer new nerve cells in its learning and memory center. The scientists said the finding, made in rodents, refutes current ideas on how long crucial "progenitor" stem cells persist in the aging brain.   view more (2006-12-19)

Building brains: Mammalian-like neurogenesis in fruit flies
A new way of generating brain cells has been uncovered in Drosophila. The findings, published this week in the online open access journal Neural Development, reveal that this novel mode of neurogenesis is very similar to that seen in mammalian brains, suggesting that key aspects of neural... view more (2008-02-19)
