Neural stem cells offer potential treatment for Alzheimer's disease
UC Irvine scientists have shown for the first time that neural stem cells can rescue memory in mice with advanced Alzheimer's disease, raising hopes of a potential treatment for the leading cause of elderly dementia that afflicts 5.3 million people in the U.S. view more (2009-07-21)
Neural stem cells derived from human embryonic stem cells carry abnormal gene expression
Neural stem cells grown from one of the federally approved human embryonic stem cell lines proved to be inferior to neural stem cells derived from fetal tissue donated for research, a UCLA study has found. view more (2006-08-07)
UCLA researchers develop T-cells from human embryonic stem cells
Researchers from the UCLA AIDS Institute and the Institute for Stem Cell Biology and Medicine have demonstrated for the first time that human embryonic stem cells can be genetically manipulated and coaxed to develop into mature T-cells, raising hopes for a gene therapy to combat AIDS. view more (2006-07-05)
Researchers reveal repressor protein blocks neural stem cell development
A protein known to repress gene transcription at the molecular level in a variety of processes also blocks embryonic neural stem cells from differentiating into neurons. view more (2007-10-11)
Researchers link early stem cell mutation to autism
In a breakthrough scientific study published today in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, scientists at the Burnham Institute for Medical Research have shown that neural stem cell development may be linked to Autism. view more (2008-07-01)
Stem cell research puts interstate rivalry on hold
Victoria and New South Wales have put aside their competitive interstate rivalry to collaborate on a stem cell research project, as announced by Innovation Minister Gavin Jennings and NSW Minister for Science and Medical Research, Verity Firth, today. view more (2008-09-04)
Cancer is a stem cell issue
There is an urgent reason to study stem cells: stem cells are at the heart of some, if not all, cancers. view more (2007-02-20)
Cancer stem cells: know thine enemy
Stem cells -- popularly known as a source of biological rejuvenation -- may play harmful roles in the body, specifically in the growth and spread of cancer. view more (2007-12-26)
Master regulatory gene found that guides fate of blood-producing stem cells
Researchers from the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine found that a protein called NF-Ya activates several genes known to regulate the development of hematopoietic stem cells (HSC), or blood-producing stem cells, in bone marrow. view more (2005-08-02)
Another boost for stem cell research
In the wake of the Senate's decision to pass the human embryo cloning legislation, another Australian research breakthrough is likely to strengthen the case for embryonic stem cell research. view more (2006-11-16)
Stem cell breakthrough gives new hope to sufferers of muscle-wasting diseases
An experimental procedure that dramatically strengthens stem cells' ability to regenerate damaged tissue could offer new hope to sufferers of muscle-wasting diseases such as myopathy and muscular dystrophy, according to researchers from the University of New South Wales (UNSW). view more (2009-03-05)
Rice University's Baker Institute experts available to discuss stem cell research, recommendations
Rice University's Baker Institute has experts available to discuss the current debate on United States' embryonic stem cell policy. view more (2009-02-18)
U-M researchers link pathway to breast cancer stem cells
A gene well known to stop or suppress cancer plays a role in cancer stem cells, according to a new study from the University of Michigan Comprehensive Cancer Center. The researchers found that several pathways linked to the gene, called PTEN, also affected the growth of breast cancer stem cells. view more (2009-06-02)
U-M team identifies gene that regulates blood-forming fetal stem cells
In the rancorous public debate over federal research funding, stem cells are generally assigned to one of two categories: embryonic or adult. view more (2007-07-27)
Manchester researchers announce new methods of beating breast cancer
University of Manchester researchers will reveal new ways of controlling and treating breast cancer at the National Cancer Research Institute conference in Birmingham today (Monday 1 October 2007). view more (2007-10-02)
Scientists discover stage at which an embryonic cell is fated to become a stem cell
Cambridge scientists have discovered the stage at which some of the cells of a fertilised mammalian egg are fated to develop into stem cells and why this occurs. view more (2007-01-11)
When smell cells fail they call in stem cell reserves
Hopkins researchers have identified a backup supply of stem cells that can repair the most severe damage to the nerves responsible for our sense of smell. view more (2007-04-30)
Molecular 'marker' on stem cells aids research, perhaps therapies
A sugar molecule present on embryonic stem cells also has been found on the surface of a type of adult stem cell, a discovery that may help researchers isolate and purify adult stem cells for use in therapies aimed at bone healing, tendon repair and cartilage regeneration, researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center report. view more (2006-12-04)
Stem cell success points to way to regenerate parathyroid glands
An early laboratory success is taking University of Michigan researchers a step closer to parathyroid gland transplants that could one day prevent a currently untreatable form of bone loss associated with thyroid surgery. view more (2009-09-30)
How embryonic stem cells develop into tissue-specific cells demonstrated
While it has long been known that embryonic stem cells have the ability to develop into any kind of tissue-specific cells, the exact mechanism as to how this occurs has heretofore not been demonstrated. view more (2008-05-13)
