RNA therapies are emerging as a promising treatment for cancer, but some types of the disease don’t respond well to it. Now, scientists at Tel Aviv University have demonstrated a way to use RNA drugs to treat multiple myeloma, a hard-to-reach cancer th… Continue reading RNA therapy targets hard-to-reach bone marrow cancer cells
Studying the effects of drugs and disease in humans can be tricky business, but scientists are making great inroads in developing lab-grown versions of organs and body parts that offer powerful platforms for experimentation. Research in this area has n… Continue reading Lab-grown bone marrow may unlock personalized blood cancer treatments
Regrowing or replacing bone lost to disease is tricky and often painful. In a new study Australian researchers have found a relatively simple way to induce stem cells to turn into bone cells quickly and efficiently, using high-frequency sound waves.Con… Continue reading Sound waves convert stem cells into bone in regenerative breakthrough
Scientists looking into the biological mechanisms behind deteriorating bones have made a discovery that could help tackle age-related conditions like osteoporosis, by rejuvenating stem cells that are central to the process. The newly published study de… Continue reading Sodium acetate acts as a potential fountain of youth for aging bones
A new proof-of-concept study has found a combination of two drugs, already approved by the FDA for other uses, may boost the release of stem cells from bone marrow and accelerate the healing of broken bones. Only demonstrated in animals at this stage, … Continue reading Experimental study speeds up bone healing with 2 common medications
Bone marrow transplants are a common treatment for certain conditions related to the blood, but the patient’s immune system can often react badly to the foreign cells and attack them. Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) may help, but they too ca… Continue reading Coating cells in hydrogel help protect implanted tissue from the immune system
