Researchers grow stem cells from human skin
Researchers at Wake Forest University School of Medicine have successfully isolated stem cells from human skin, expanded them in the laboratory and coaxed them into becoming fat, muscle and bone cells. The study, one of the first studies to show the ability of a single adult stem cell to become... view more (2005-06-23)

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)

Stem cells provide clues to cancer spread
Scientists have made a breakthrough in understanding how cancers spread in what could lead to new ways of beating the disease.   view more (2007-05-23)

Embryonic Stem Cells Thrive When Shaken
Embryos spend much of their time in the womb bobbing along with a mother's movement, and, surprisingly enough, new research from the Georgia Institute of Technology and Emory University suggests that embryonic stem cells may develop much better under similarly shaky conditions.   view more (2007-09-11)

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)

What is the function of NOD2 in colonic epithelial cells?
NOD2 is a cytosolic pattern recognition receptor similar in structure and function to Toll like receptors (TLRs). It can recognize and respond to a component found in the cell wall of bacteria, muramyl dipeptide (MDP), and has been shown to play an important role in the innate immune response of... view more (2008-10-23)

Deakin University discovery could lead to new leukaemia treatments
Deakin University scientists have identified a protein that could hold the key to new leukaemia treatments.   view more (2006-11-07)

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)

Liquid crystals show promise in controlling embryonic stem cells
Liquid crystals, the same phase-shifting materials used to display information on cell phones, monitors and other electronic equipment, can also be used to report in real time on the differentiation of embryonic stem cells.   view more (2006-03-08)

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)

Aspirin discovery may improve cancer treatments
Salicylates, including aspirin, are used to treat a range of inflammatory conditions and can be used to prevent diseases such as cancer, but the way aspirin works is not yet fully understood.   view more (2007-04-06)

Cancer scientists create 'human' leukemia process to map how disease begins, progresses
Cancer researchers led by Dr. John Dick at Ontario Cancer Institute (OCI) have developed a method to convert normal human blood cells into "human" leukemia stem cells.   view more (2007-04-27)

IL-21 receptor plays an essential role in the Th2 immune response
During the immune response cells known as Th2 cells express a variety of cytokines (e.g. interleukin-4, -5, and -13), many of which stimulate B cells to proliferate and produce antibodies.   view more (2006-06-16)

Researchers discover human embryonic stem cells are the ultimate perpetual fuel cell
A startling discovery on the development of human embryonic stem cells by scientists at McMaster University will change how future research in the area is done.   view more (2007-07-12)

Repair not destruction: A new approach to treating retinopathy
Many diseases of the eye (such as retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) and diabetic retinopathy) that result in loss of vision are the result of the growth of abnormal blood vessels that leak and bleed.   view more (2006-11-17)

Scientists successfully awaken sleeping stem cells
Scientists at Schepens Eye Research Institute have discovered what chemical in the eye triggers the dormant capacity of certain non-neuronal cells to transform into progenitor cells, a stem-like cell that can generate new retinal cells.   view more (2008-03-19)

Common viruses may cause cancer
In some cases, the fusion of human cells is a normal process that leads, for instance, to the formation of muscle and bone. Viral infections can also cause cell fusion, but cells fused by viruses are widely considered to be harmless because they are generally believed to die without consequences... view more (2005-11-09)

Knowledge of dendritic cells branches out
Dendritic cells (or "DC" ) are specialised white blood cells that patrol the body, searching for infections.   view more (2006-05-09)

Standard treatment for prostate cancer may encourage spread of disease
A popular prostate cancer treatment called androgen deprivation therapy may encourage prostate cancer cells to produce a protein that makes them more likely to spread throughout the body, a new study by Johns Hopkins researchers suggests.   view more (2007-10-01)

Mice could provide the key to growing human lungs for transplant
Scientists from Imperial College London have successfully directed mouse stem cells to turn into the type of cells needed for gas exchange in lungs, bringing the prospect of being able to regenerate damaged lung tissue, and even the creation of artificially grown lungs one step closer. Dr Anne... view more (2002-05-15)

New evidence supports century-old theory of cancer spread
A Yale School of Medicine study in the December issue of Lancet Oncology challenges mainstream oncology researchers to consider tumor cell hybridization with white blood cells as a major reason that cancer metastasizes or spreads to other parts of the body.   view more (2005-12-13)

Hair-raising stem cells identified
Using an animal model, a research team led by Yann Barrandon at the EPFL (Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne) and the CHUV (Lausanne University Hospital) has discovered that certain cells inside the hair follicle are true multipotent stem cells, capable of developing into the many different... view more (2005-10-05)

Stem cells - a cure for fatal muscular dystrophy
The diagnosis 'muscular dystrophy' is usually tantamount to a death sentence for those affected. One in three thousand male babies suffer from this incurable hereditary disease. The progress of the disease can only be slowed down through physiotherapy and medication. Scientists at Bonn University... view more (2002-07-04)

Bone Marrow Stem Cells May Cure Eye Disease
Adult bone marrow stem cells may help cure certain genetic eye diseases, according to UC researchers.   view more (2007-05-11)

Immune exhaustion in HIV infection
As HIV disease progresses in a person infected with the HIV virus, a group of cells in the immune system, the CD8+ T lymphocytes, become "exhausted," losing many of their abilities to kill other cells infected by the virus.   view more (2008-05-06)
