A new treatment for multiple sclerosis (MS) is being pioneered near Bristol.
26 сентября 2007
For more than a decade, Steve Stice has dedicated his research using embryonic stem cells to improving the lives of people with degenerative diseases and debilitating injuries. His most recent discovery, which produces billions of neural cells from a few stem cells, could now aid in national security.

The MRC is to fund a research proposal from a team at the North East England Stem Cell Institute (NESCI) for a project to find ways of improving the efficiency of therapeutic cloning
21 сентября 2007
Adult testicles could one day become a common source for stem cells to cultivate a host of tissue types to combat disease, while at the same time avoiding the ethical resistance to embryonic stem cells, say researchers from Weill Cornell Medical College
20 сентября 2007
Tengion, Inc., a leader in regenerative medicine, announced it has initiated a Phase 2 multi-center clinical trial of its neo-bladder construct, derived from a patient's own cells.
19 сентября 2007
British researchers have successfully implanted lung cells grown from embryonic stem cells into the lungs of mice in a move that may one day provide treatments for humans with severe breathing problems.

Within three years, insulin-producing islet cells from pigs may be used in clinical trials on a path to finally cure insulin dependant diabetes.
17 сентября 2007
Scientists in Australia have found a way of identifying probable stem cells in the lining of women's wombs.

Opexa Therapeutics, Inc., a company involved in the development and commercialization of cell therapies, today provided an update on its 150-patient Phase IIb safety and efficacy study (TERMS) of Tovaxin(R) in multiple sclerosis.
15 сентября 2007
While many promising stem cell therapies are still awaiting approval for use in humans, vets are already using the technology to treat arthritis and tendon ailments in dogs and horses.
14 сентября 2007
Mesenchymal stem cells in bone marrow have proven helpful in restoring damaged blood vessels, paving the way for a new therapy for stroke, myocardial infarction and avascular necrosis, orthopedists at Taipei Veterans General Hospital (TVGH) reported
13 сентября 2007
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.
12 сентября 2007
Working with embryonic mouse brains, a team of Johns Hopkins scientists seems to have discovered an almost-too-easy way to distinguish between “true” neural stem cells and similar, but less potent versions.
11 сентября 2007
Athletes know that damage to a tendon can signal an end to their professional careers. But a consortium of scientists, led in part by USC School of Dentistry researcher Songtao Shi, has identified unique cells within the adult tendon that have stem-cell characteristics including the ability to proliferate and self-renew.
10 сентября 2007
For the first time, scientists at Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh of UPMC have discovered a unique population of adult stem cells derived from human muscle that could be used to treat muscle injuries and diseases such as heart attack and muscular dystrophy.
09 сентября 2007
Iranian scientists have successfully treated skin leishmaniasis scars by injecting unipotent stem cells for the first time in Asia and Europe.
Iranian researchers have successfully completed the second phase of project and clinical experiment.
08 сентября 2007
Cardiac patients will soon be able to 'grow their own' heart valves and have them transplanted within weeks of seeing a doctor.
07 сентября 2007
One of the major challenges to islet cell transplantation as the treatment of choice for type 1 diabetes is the shortage of donor tissue supply. Patients often need a re infusion of islet cells after the initial treatment, and this means another donor pancreas is needed to provide the fragile islet cells for transplant. New findings by researchers at the Diabetes Research Institute ( http://www.diabetesresearch.org) at the University of Miami could represent a big step forward in possibly alleviating the problem. 06 сентября 2007
Top Australian sports clubs are considering storing their players' stem cells in order to help them recover faster from injury, a report said Thursday.
05 сентября 2007
A Toronto-led team of researchers has found a way to use stem cells derived from skin to treat spinal cord injuries in rats.
04 сентября 2007
Dietary restrictions or other strategies that limit fat formation might make pancreatic cell transplants more effective, UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers report.
03 сентября 2007
An important finding has been made by McMaster researchers about Fragile X Syndrome (FXS), a sex-linked genetic disorder that affects approximately one in 4,000 males and one in 6,000 females.
02 сентября 2007
Iowa State University researchers have developed a new technique that successfully treated rats for blindness caused by glaucoma. Their experimental treatment will be used on canine patients in the next year. If successful, it is expected to move to human trials.
01 сентября 2007
Genetically engineered cells implanted in mice have cleared away toxic plaques associated with Alzheimer’s disease.
