Scientists at MIT's Centre for Biomedical Engineering have created a new three-dimensional scaffold that may one day replace the ubiquitous Petri dish for growing stem cells.
25 декабря 2006
Australia’s adult stem cell company, Mesoblast Limited (ASX:MSB), today announced that the United States Food and Drug Administration (US FDA) has cleared its Investigational New Drug Submission (IND) to commence a Phase 2 clinical trial for spinal fusion in the US.
24 декабря 2006
Using neural stem cells derived from the fetal brains of rats, a team of Wisconsin scientists has devised a rudimentary blood-brain barrier in the lab.
23 декабря 2006
A multi-national research team headed by USC School of Dentistry researcher Songtao Shi, DDS, PhD, has successfully regenerated tooth root and supporting periodontal ligaments to restore tooth function in an animal model
22 декабря 2006
For people born with severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID), exposure to seemingly harmless germs can be deadly. But breakthroughs in stem cell research bring new hope to the search for a cure.
21 декабря 2006
Living Cell Technologies announced today that early stage research of its NeurotrophinCell (NtCell) product may hold the potential to prevent or delay the onset of Type I diabetes.
20 декабря 2006
Stems cells are regulated by "intrinsic factors" but it’s also becoming increasingly clear that their "stemness" depends on the unique microenvironment called the stem cell niche.
19 декабря 2006
Neurobiologists have discovered why the aging brain produces progressively fewer new nerve cells in its learning and memory center. The scientists said the finding, made in rodents, refutes current ideas on how long crucial "progenitor" stem cells persist in the aging brain
18 декабря 2006
The brain contains stem cells with a surprising capacity for repair, researchers report
17 декабря 2006
Northern Therapeutics, Inc., a Canadian biotechnology company, and MaxCyte, Inc., a U.S. therapeutics company, announced today the commencement of the first-ever human trial of a novel, engineered cell-based therapy for the treatment of idiopathic (primary) pulmonary arterial hypertension
16 декабря 2006
Researchers at Children's Hospital Boston report a new and efficient strategy, using eggs alone, for creating mouse embryonic stem cells that can be transplanted without the risk of rejection because the cells are compatible with the recipient's immune system
15 декабря 2006
A Pittsburgh-based research team has created and used an innovative ink-jet system to print "bio-ink" patterns that direct muscle-derived stem cells from adult mice to differentiate into both muscle cells and bone cells
14 декабря 2006
A physician from the Indiana University School of Medicine is using adult stem cells to treat peripheral artery disease, a painful circulatory problem in the legs believed to affect 10 million Americans.
13 декабря 2006
Having recently identified the molecular signature of these epidermal neural crest stem cells in the mouse, their research resolves conflicting scientific opinions by showing that these cells are distinctly different from other types of skin-resident stem cells/progenitors
12 декабря 2006
It looks, contracts and responds almost like natural heart muscle – even though it was grown in the lab. And it brings scientists another step closer to the goal of creating replacement parts for damaged human hearts, or eventually growing an entirely new heart from just a spoonful of loose heart cells.
11 декабря 2006
Daniel Kerner, a California boy who received the first known implant of purified brain stem cells last month at Oregon Health & Science University, is about to leave the hospital and head home.
10 декабря 2006
NeoStem, Inc., a company specializing in the collection, processing and long-term storage of Adult Stem Cells (ASCs) for autologous use ("Your cells for your use"), today announced that three medical experts affiliated with the Company will present papers at the 14th Annual International Congress on Anti-Aging Medicine
09 декабря 2006
Researchers at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies in collaboration with scientists at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) took a high resolution "action shot" of a protein switch that plays a crucial role in the development of the nervous system
08 декабря 2006
Transplanted neural stem cells hold promise for reducing the destruction of dopaminergic cells that occurs in Parkinson’s disease and for replacing cells lost to the disease, scientists say.
07 декабря 2006
Australia's parliament has lifted a ban on cloning human embryos for stem cell research, despite opposition from the prime minister and other party leaders.
06 декабря 2006
A UK company is applying for permission to transplant stem cells made from human foetal tissue into the brains of stroke patients.
05 декабря 2006
Stem Cell Therapy International, Inc., a company in the field of research and development of stem cell transplantation therapy and regenerative medicine, announced today the successful treatment of a stroke patient from the United States with its stem cell transplantation therapy protocol conducted at one of their affiliate clinics in Kiev, Ukraine
04 декабря 2006
Brain cells derived from human embryonic stem cells improved the condition of rats with Parkinson's-like symptoms dramatically, but the treatment caused a significant problem – the appearance of brain tumors – that scientists are now working to solve
03 декабря 2006
Researchers at Okayama University's graduate school have succeeded in creating an artificial liver from embryonic stem cells and improving the condition of mice with liver failure by implanting it.
02 декабря 2006
The prospect is a tantalizing one. To erase wrinkles and fine lines, or to get bigger breasts, without cosmetic surgery. Forget silicone, forget collagen. All you would need is stem-cell therapy.
01 декабря 2006
A University of Manchester researcher has developed a treatment for lower back pain using the patient’s own stem cells, which could replace the use of strong painkillers or surgery that can cause debilitation, neither of which addresses the underlying cause.
