Imagine telling a patient suffering from age-related (type-II) osteoporosis that a single injection of stem cells could restore their normal bone structure. This week, with a publication in... Read more
Acoustics experts have created a new class of sound wave – the first in more than half a century – in a breakthrough they hope could lead to a revolution in stem cell therapy. Th... Read more
A revolutionary technique that promises to restore the sight of millions has been carried out for the first time worldwide in a British hospital. Taking as little as 45 minutes, the procedur... Read more
If you experience a major heart attack the damage could cost you around five billion heart cells. Future stem cell treatments will require this number and more to ensure those cells are repl... Read more
Researchers have shown for the first time in an animal that is more closely related to humans that it is possible to make new bone from stem-cell-like induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs)... Read more
Harvard stem cell scientists at Brigham and Women’s Hospital have pioneered a method using steroids to make mighty stem cells, increasing their usefulness for potential cell therapies. Unlik... Read more
Scientists at The New York Stem Cell Foundation (NYSCF) Research Institute are one step closer to creating a viable cell replacement therapy for multiple sclerosis from a patient’s own cells... Read more
Intranasal stem cell therapy may one day treat brain disorders Many diseases of the central nervous system involve the death of neurons—so, theoretically, the replacement of dead cells shoul... Read more
Cells from patients’ blood could be developed as treatments for heart and circulatory diseases. Scientists have shed light on a common bleeding disorder by growing and analysing stem c... Read more
Rush University Medical Center is conducting the nation’s first clinical study of an innovative stem cell drug, Cartistem, to repair knee cartilage damaged by aging, trauma or degenerative d... Read more
