The buildup of scar tissue makes recovery from torn rotator cuffs, jumper’s knee, and other tendon injuries a painful, challenging process, often leading to secondary tendon ruptures. New re... Read more
New research reveals how increasing brain stiffness as we age causes brain stem cell dysfunction, and demonstrates new ways to reverse older stem cells to a younger, healthier state. …... Read more
Stem cells hold the key to wound healing, as they develop into specialised cell types throughout the body – including in teeth. Now an international team of researchers has found a mechanism... Read more
In a world first, scientists have found a new way to direct stem cells to heart tissue. The findings, led by researchers at the University of Bristol and published in Chemical Science, could... Read more
Breakthrough research shows that stem cell genes can be edited in living systems New research led by Harvard scientist Amy Wagers has demonstrated that gene-editing machinery can be delivere... Read more
Expanded Potential Stem Cell lines of pig and human cells established A new approach has enabled researchers to create Expanded Potential Stem Cells (EPSCs) of both pig and human cells. Thes... Read more
New study shows how newly created cardiac muscle cells can be made to pump together A team of Rutgers scientists, including Leonard Y. Lee and Shaohua Li, have taken an important step toward... Read more
A successful Phase 1 clinical trial in China, co-led by School of Dental Medicine researcher Songtao Shi, paves the way for more widespread investigation into the utility of dental stem cell... Read more
A clinical trial has begun which will use stem cell transplants to grow a new immune system for people with untreatable Crohn’s disease – a painful and chronic intestinal disease which affec... Read more
University of Queensland researchers said the ability to provide two functions in one cell meant the cells could be used to regenerate or repair cell and tissue damage across a number of are... Read more
Human clinical trials could begin as early as next year A team of researchers at the University of Georgia’s Regenerative Bioscience Center and ArunA Biomedical, a UGA startup company, have... Read more
Researchers are the first to create sensory interneurons from stem cells Researchers at the Eli and Edythe Broad Center of Regenerative Medicine and Stem Cell Research at UCLA have, for the... Read more
Scientists at Albert Einstein College of Medicine have found that stem cells in the brain’s hypothalamus govern how fast aging occurs in the body. The finding, made in mice, could lead to ne... Read more
