IU School of Medicine scientists testing stem cells for peripheral artery disease
Indiana University School of Medicine scientists have begun a unique clinical trial using stem cell injections as a treatment that could offer hope to tens of thousands of people who face sores, ulcers and even amputations due to severe peripheral artery disease. view more (2006-02-10)
Tissue engineering technique does not cause tumor growth
A gene therapy approach used in creating new arteries for older patients does not appear to cause cancer, according to a pilot study by Yale School of Medicine researchers reported in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. view more (2006-03-01)
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)
Discarded placentas deliver researchers promising cells similar to embryonic stem cells
Routinely discarded as medical waste, placental tissue could feasibly provide an abundant source of cells with the same potential to treat diseases and regenerate tissues as their more controversial counterparts, embryonic stem cells. view more (2005-08-08)
Growth factor protects brain against damage from stroke
A naturally occurring growth factor called neuregulin-1 protects brain cells from damage resulting from stroke, according to an animal study conducted by researchers at Morehouse School of Medicine (MSM) and the Atlanta-based Center for Behavioral Neuroscience (CBN). view more (2005-12-14)
Rockefeller researchers show evidence of asymmetric cell division in mammalian skin
It took almost 10 years for Elaine Fuchs, Ph.D., a Howard Hughes Medical Institute investigator at Rockefeller University, to find a postdoctoral fellow who shared her curiosity for the direction of cell divisions in the skin. view more (2005-08-17)
Brain tumors may originate with neural stem cells, researchers say
Researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have determined that stem cells in a certain region of the brain may be the source of a particular type of incurable brain tumor and may be implicated in other types of brain cancers as well. view more (2005-08-16)

Insects and mammals share common fat-building pathway, study suggests
When it comes to gaining fat, insects and mammals may have something in common, researchers report in the Jan. 11, 2006, Cell Metabolism. view more (2006-01-11)
Egg donation for stem cell research — balancing the risks and benefits
In the wake of the scandal involving fraudulent cloning research, concerns about the welfare of women donating eggs for research purposes have arisen. view more (2006-06-20)
Marrow-derived stem cells deliver new cytokine to kill brain tumor cells, offer protection
Attaching a recently discovered cytokine to neural stem cells derived from bone marrow, researchers at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center's Maxine Dunitz Neurosurgical Institute have developed a tool to track and kill malignant brain tumor cells and provide long-term protection against their return. view more (2006-03-01)
Key process in gene regulation occurs in blood platelets, Univeristy of Utah researchers find
In a discovery that upends a longstanding tenet of human biology, University of Utah School of Medicine researchers have shown that a key process in gene regulation can occur in human platelets, unique cells that are unusual because they don't have a nucleus (anucleate). view more (2005-08-12)
Human muscle-derived stem cells effective in animal models of incontinence
Human muscle-derived cells, pluripotent stem cells found in muscle, have been used to cure stress urinary incontinence in animal models, a finding which signals that these cells are prime candidates to treat the condition in adults. view more (2005-09-01)
'Killer' B cells provide new link in the evolution of immunity
Researchers from the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine have discovered a unique evolutionary link between the most primitive innate form of immune defense, which has survived in fish, to the more advanced, adaptive immune response present in humans and other mammals. view more (2006-10-04)
Stem cell treatment succeeds in spinal cord-injured rats
Stem cells can repair damaged spinal tissue and help restore function in rats with spinal cord injuries, according to a new study. view more (2006-03-29)
Study shows frogs can play key role in stem cell research
It sounds like one of those curiosities which pops up in wildlife documentaries, but the African clawed frog could prove a powerful ally for scientists working in the key area of stem cell research. view more (2006-05-15)
GABA halts stem cell production in the brain
Release of the neurotransmitter GABA by adult neuronal precursor cells that develop into neurons limits stem cell proliferation, according to a study at Yale School of Medicine in the September issue of Nature Neuroscience. view more (2005-09-02)
Bones from blood: scientists aim to break new ground on fractures
Researchers from the University's Department of Biology are heading the EC-backed project to create bone structures from cord blood stem cells for use in the repair of bone defects and fractures. view more (2006-01-31)
Drawing a crowd: Understanding the signals that bring inflammatory cells into the lung
Understanding the connection between influx of immune cells into the lung and acute lung injury is essential, since lung damage tends to occur secondary to increased lung inflammation. view more (2006-02-17)
Administering stem cells to patients with myocardial infarction leads to a reduction of the infarct
This week, doctors at the Catholic University of Leuven, connected with the University Hospital-Gasthuisberg, the Stem Cell Institute Leuven (SCIL), and the Flanders Interuniversity Institute for Biotechnology (VIB), are publishing a major breakthrough in the treatment of patients with acute myocardial infarction. view more (2006-01-10)
