Replacing lost or damaged cells with functional and healthy cells may provide a treatment option that could slow vision loss, and perhaps even reverse the effects of disease. We are looking forward to collaborating with ACT to evaluate the potential of the stem cell-derived RPE cells for debilitating di...
Patients with advanced solid tumors need new, safer and more effective therapies ... Based on animal data and initial data from a Phase 1a dosimetry trial, HOT appears to deliver radiation directly and selectively to tumors and cancer stem cells.
In addition, even though we are conducting a safety trial, the early clinical follow-up of the patients treated with the stem cells shows indications of beneficial clinical effects, such as an improvement in breathing and swallowing ability as well as in muscular power.
We identified about 400 proteins that respond differently after injury and after grafting with neural stem cells ... When we grouped them using a state-of-the-art Internet database, we found that a group of cytoskeleton proteins was being changed, and in particular one called alpha-smooth muscle actin, ...
In this study, we found that our stem cell transplantation both prevents further axonal injury and promotes axonal regrowth, through a number of previously unknown molecular mechanisms.
Research at UT Southwestern has shown that, in addition to their potential application to diabetes, they may also modulate the differentiation of stem cells into nerve cells, and they can induce a population of progenitor cells found in the heart to become cardiac muscle cells
Design of Image-guided, Photo-thermal Controlled Drug Releasing Multifunctional Nanosystem for the Treatment of Cancer Stem Cells.
It is exciting to be at the forefront of research to match children who have cord blood stored, with this team of groundbreaking doctors studying autologous stem cell therapies for hearing loss.
G-CSF, a type of protein and a growth factor, is given under the skin to stimulate the bone marrow of the patient... The bone marrow cells which in a way are recruited to produce stem cells populate the damaged liver and regenerate it to some extent
I am so honored that Examiner.com chose to include my work in this contest and I am thrilled to be among these outstanding finalists. I'm excited to seize this opportunity to raise awareness and funds for stem cell research
We are very excited about its potential. They could be used to build an artificial artery in a test tube or the stem cells could be injected straight into the heart and they could form within it.

I strongly support adult stem cell research. I will oppose at every turn any process of destroying embryos
We cannot model everything in the mouse ... If we want to move stem cell therapies from the lab to clinics and from the mouse to humans, we need to understand what these primate cells can and can't do. We need to study them in humans, including human embryos.
We need to go back to basics ... We need to study not just cultured embryonic stem cells but also stem cells in embryos. It's too soon to close the chapter on these cells.
Once the stem cells are in the bloodstream, they are a ‘subpart’ of the blood, not the bone marrow
It may be that 'bone marrow transplant' is an anachronism that will soon fade away, as peripheral blood stem cell apheresis replaces aspiration as the transplant technique, much as 'dial the phone' is fading away now that telephones do not have dials
The stem cell movement is similar to the way a person would act if asked to walk blindfolded down a hallway. They would feel for the walls ... Because the long, parallel muscle fibers carry these ephrin proteins on their surface, ephrin might be helping satellite cells move in a straighter line towards ...
While the focus of this study was on the use of adult stem cells to regenerate dental tissue, including dental pulp and periodontal ligament, these findings could lead to further development of a variety of cell-based therapies.
It is possible that iMSCs retain their stem-cell characteristics even when derived from aged patients ... In such cases, this new approach may be useful, especially for geriatric patients or individuals with limited therapeutic value of their endogenous stem cells.
Stem cells are cells found in most, if not all, multi-cellular organisms. They are characterized by the ability to renew themselves through mitotic cell division and differentiating into a diverse range of specialized cell types. Research in the stem cell field grew out of findings by Canadian scientists Ernest A. McCulloch and James E. Till in... Full Article

Reprogramming factor stoichiometry influences the epigenetic state and biological properties of induced pluripotent stem cells
