Blood vessel cells are instructed to form tube-like structures
How do blood vessel cells understand that they should organise themselves in tubes and not in layers? A research group from Uppsala University shows for the first time that a special type of "instructor" molecule is needed to accomplish this. These findings, published in the scientific journal Blood, might be an important step towards... view more... (2008-08-29)
Drug has ability to cure type of leukemia
In people with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), the drug Imatinib has been shown to drive cancer into remission, but the disease often returns when treatment is stopped. view more (2007-10-03)
World-first stem cell research could aid male infertility
Scientists have shown for the first time that sperm grown from embryonic stem cells can be used to produce offspring. view more (2006-07-11)
Protein key to control, growth of blood cells
New research sheds light on the biological events by which stem cells in the bone marrow develop into the broad variety of cells that circulate in the blood. The findings may help improve the success of bone marrow transplants and may lead to better treatments for life-threatening blood diseases. view more (2008-08-14)
Natural protein stops deadly human brain cancer in mice
Scientists from Johns Hopkins and from the University of Milan have effectively proven that they can inhibit lethal human brain cancers in mice using a protein that selectively induces positive changes in the activity of cells that behave like cancer stem cells. view more (2006-12-08)
Can you hear me now? Stem cells enhance hearing recovery
Researchers have shown that bone marrow stem cells injected into a damaged inner ear can speed hearing recovery after partial hearing loss. view more (2007-06-25)
Stem cell research to benefit horse owners and trainers
In a potential breakthrough for the performance horse industry (such as racing and polo), Melbourne scientists are aiming to harness stem cells to repair tendon, ligament, cartilage and bone damage in horses. view more (2008-10-21)
Similar stem cells in insect and human gut
Scientists at the Carnegie Institution's Department of Embryology have found that adult fruitflies have the same stem cells controlling cell regulation in their gut as humans do. view more (2005-12-08)
Scientists find potential stem cells in amniotic fluid - a new source?
Research by Austrian geneticists has raised the possibility that stem cells[1] could be isolated from amniotic fluid - the protective 'bath water' that surrounds the unborn baby. Geneticist Professor Markus Hengstschl'¤ger and his team at the University of Vienna have isolated a subgroup of cells from amniotic fluid that express a protein called... view more... (2003-06-27)
ESC Congress 2003: Stem cell therapy for myocardial repair & regeneration
IMPORTANT: This press release accompanies both a presentation and an ESC press conference given at the ESC Congress 2003. Written by the investigator himself/herself, this press release does not necessarily reflect the opinion of the European Society of Cardiology Heart attack and the resulting heart failure is still one of the leading causes of... view more...

New findings on the formation of body pigment
The skin's pigment cells can be formed from completely different cells than has hitherto been thought, a new study from the Swedish medical university Karolinska Institutet shows. The results, which are published in the journal Cell, also mean the discovery of a new kind of stem cell. view more (2009-10-19)
Neural stem cell differentiation factor discovered
Neural stem cells represent the cellular backup of our brain. These cells are capable of self-renewal to form new stem cells or differentiate into neurons, astrocytes or oligodendrocytes. view more (2009-06-30)
Healthy blood vessels may prevent fat growth
The cells lining blood vessels are known to be important for maintaining health, but researchers at the Indiana University School of Medicine believe these cells may perform an unsuspected task - controlling the development of fat cells. view more (2008-09-22)
Therapeutic Cloning No Longer A Dream, Says Scientist Who Produced First Cloned Embryonic Stem Cell
A member of the team who were the first in the world to produce stem cells from a cloned human embryo told the 20th annual conference of the European Society for Human Reproduction and Embryology on Wednesday 30 June that the work could generate potentially unlimited undifferentiated stem cells. These could eventually be used for tissue repair and... view more... (2004-06-30)
To evade chemotherapy, some cancer cells mimic stem cells
Anti-cancer treatments often effectively shrink the size of tumors, but some might have an opposite effect, actually expanding the small population of cancer stem cells believed to drive the disease, according to findings presented today in Atlanta, Georgia at the American Association for Cancer Research's second International Conference on... view more...

The sturdier sex? — Study by Pittsburgh scientists finds female stem cells work better
Female stem cells derived from muscle have a greater ability to regenerate skeletal muscle tissue than male cells, according to a study at Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh of UPMC. view more (2007-04-10)
Mount Sinai Hospital researcher develops Canada's first embryonic stem cell lines
A senior scientist at Mount Sinai Hospital has developed Canada's first two human embryonic stem cell lines, giving researchers across the country new potential and hope for eventually discovering treatments and cures for many chronic and fatal diseases. view more (2005-06-08)
USC study in Nature Genetics supports a stem cell origin of cancer
Researchers at the University of Southern California (USC) recently made significant strides toward settling a decades-old debate centering on the role played by stem cells in cancer development. view more (2007-01-10)
Researchers first to map gene that regulates adult stem cell growth
A new discovery in stem cell research may mean big things for cancer patients in the future. Gary Van Zant, Ph.D., and a research team at the University of Kentucky published their findings today in Nature Genetics, an international scientific journal. view more (2007-01-15)
Controlling embryonic fate by association
Association determines fate in embryonic stem cells, said Baylor College of Medicine researchers in a report that appears in the current issue of the journal Nature Cell Biology. view more (2008-05-05)
