One gene directs both embryonic and adult stem cells to perform the self-renewal function that is crucial in their potential broad use in medical treatments, researchers said on Thursday.
23 апреля 2007
Mutated nerve cells called glial cells may secrete the poisons that cause amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig's disease, researchers reported on Sunday.
22 апреля 2007
A new device has been developed that will further our understanding of cell migration responses - an important factor in tumour metastasis, immune reactions and the development of the nervous system.

Today here announced a breakthrough in the worldwide treatment of Cerebral Palsy (CP) by introducing neural stem cells through a safe, non-evasive procedure to 19-year-old Gabor Bocskai from Hungary.
20 апреля 2007
Instead of a hospice and death, an American man with a raft of medical problems was given a new lease on life by the technology of adult stem cell therapy. The cells were derived from Dave's own blood by a Thai-Israeli company known as TheraVitae, developers of "VesCell" stem cells, arguably the best in the world at treating chronically ill heart failure and angina patients. Dave Foege testified before Congressional hearing in April.

18 апреля 2007
Biotechnology company Living Cell Technologies has been granted New Zealand regulatory approval to proceed to Phase I and IIa trials of its diabetes drug, DiabeCell.
17 апреля 2007
CNRS scientists in collaboration have developed a new technique for the in vivo imaging of neuronal function using bioluminescence, based on a GFP-aequorin fusion protein. This imaging technique enables the monitoring of neuronal activity (and more specifically, calcium activity), real-time and in-vivo, in either a small group of neurons or in the brain as a whole
16 апреля 2007
The way the liver renews itself may be simpler than what scientists had been assuming. A new study, appearing in the April 13 issue of The Journal of Biological Chemistry, provides new information on the inner workings of cells from regenerating livers that could significantly affect the way physicians make livers regrow in patients with liver diseases such as cirrhosis, hepatitis, or cancer.
15 апреля 2007
Scientists have successfully treated an animal model of multiple sclerosis using modified bone marrow and the results could lead the way to a therapy suitable for humans.
14 апреля 2007
Israeli scientists studying embryonic muscle development have reported a finding that may lead to new methods for healing muscle tissue using stem cells.
13 апреля 2007
Scientists say they have successfully made immature sperm cells from human bone marrow samples.
12 апреля 2007
Female stem cells derived from muscle have a greater ability to regenerate skeletal muscle tissue than male cells, according to a study at Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh of UPMC.
11 апреля 2007
A Brazilian study has shown that stem cell transplants in patients with diabetes type 1 may kick start the pancreas into producing insulin again. It is still too early to tell if the effect is permanent, but some patients have remained insulin free for over 20 months.
10 апреля 2007
In a major breakthrough in the area of stem cell therapy, Manipal Hospital has successfully treated a patient of Parkinson's disease with stem cells here on Wednesday.
09 апреля 2007
Cytori could be the first company to launch a stem cell-based medical device, while Osiris hopes to launch the first stem cell drug.
Two new stem cell treatments could be entering the U.S. market next year.

Members of the National Center for Regenerative Medicine research team, Dr. Robert Miller and Dr. Kumar Alagramam, both of Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine, recently published research findings in Developmental Neuroscience which suggest new ways of treating hearing loss.
06 апреля 2007
In a first of its kind study, researchers at Johns Hopkins Medicine have developed a new technique that transports therapeutic stem cells in a multilayer microcapsule that not only protects the cells from being attacked by the body's immune system but also enables them to be seen on X-ray.
05 апреля 2007
A Japanese team say's they've used cultured cells to grow new tooth enamel.
04 апреля 2007

A peptide developed by scientists at Weill Cornell Medical College may expand the availability and durability of islet cell transplant for patients with type-1 diabetes, which is characterized by a lack of these insulin-producing cells.
01 апреля 2007
Cells from a pig transplanted into a diabetic man from New Zealand are still producing insulin nearly 10 years later, prompting a biotechnology company to plan research to see if others could benefit.
