Researchers have made "patches" that could be used to fix up failing hearts using a new combination of cells, new research done in guinea pigs shows.
The biotech Athersys has a different approach to stem cell treatment.
Stem-cell therapy, optimizing hormone levels as part of protocols focused on reducing neuroinflammation, reveals exceptional potential to treat TBI, CTE and PTSD.
Quick question: Stem cells can be used to 1. fight cancer, 2. grow a new kidney, 3. erase wrinkles, or 4. repad creaky knees. So, which is it?
In a proof-of-concept study, scientists have demonstrated how 3D models made from embryonic stem cells, could be used as part of the testing process to assess if drugs and treatments are safe for developing embryos.
A unique 3D model allows researchers to explore embryonic development.
Stem cell medicine is based on the concept that physicians can harness the body’s own reserves to heal itself, rather than relying exclusively on drugs or
In recent years, there have been significant scientific breakthroughs in the field of stem cell research, where scientists are growing confident about the di...
Inside the long, costly effort to cure diabetes with stem cells.
Columnist Ed Tobias writes about the evolving legal environment of stem cell therapy and the potential gateway to using stem cells to treat multiple sclerosis.
Mouse study shows that removing worn-out cells reduces artery-clogging plaques
There is no denying that stem cells have revolutionized the medical industry in numerous ways. Every day, headlines such as “Stem Cell Therapy for Autism Shows Promise” and “Ground-Breaking Treatment for Multiple Sclerosis Has Man Running Again” grace the news. Amazingly enough, these headlines aren’t just hype. Since stem cells have the unique ability to …
Nanoscientists have developed a technique that allows them to transform stem cells into bone cells on command. But could the process be used to treat deadly conditions such as heart disease and Parkinson's?
Stem cell research may soon be tested for potential cures to Parkinson's disease.
Knowing something about royal jelly stem cells and how bees use stem cells may help us make stem cell therapy better.
How do stem cells know what type of cell to turn into? While scientists have known some parts of that story, new pieces of information are discovered every year. Take for example a recent study that demonstrated that sugar may play a role. Let me explain. Stem Cells: The Body’s General Contractors of Repair Stem … Continued
Induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells are among the most important tools in modern biomedical research, leading to new and promising possibilities in precision medicine. To create them requires transforming a cell of one type, such as skin, into something of a blank slate, so it has the potential to become virtually any other kind of cell in the body, useful for regenerative therapies for everything from heart disease to diabetes.
Controversial new rejuvenation treatments use umbilical cord cells. Emily Listfield investigates.
