A team of researchers at The Hospital for Sick Children has discovered two distinct types of stem cells within the blood system, short-term repopulating and long-term repopulating stem cells. These stem cells have different functions and could lead to improved cancer treatment and gene therapy outcomes.
Carolina scientists have identified and purified hepatic stem cells, which can regenerate liver and bile duct tissue. The accomplishment marks a milestone for future liver regeneration through cellular therapy, potentially reducing the need for whole-organ transplants in patients with various liver diseases.
