In a move that will make some stomachs growl and others turn, Korean scientists have taken muscle and fat stem cells from cows and transplanted them into grains of rice. The end result is a new, high-protein food that should be cheap, environmentally f… Continue reading Scientists grow beef cells in rice to make new protein-rich space food
Researchers at TU Wien have developed a new way to grow cartilage from stem cells and guide it into basically any shape required. The breakthrough could lead to better ways to patch up injuries.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, ScienceTags: Cartilage,… Continue reading Replacement cartilage can grow in any shape with 3D-printed “spheroids”
Researchers have successfully regenerated functional bladder tissue in a baboon using the animal’s own bone marrow cells. With the organ working within a few months and staying healthy throughout the two-year study, the findings open the door to a nove… Continue reading Functional bladder tissue regenerated using baboon bone marrow cells
The most comprehensive genetic map of oral stem cells to date has provided new insight into their specialized development pathways and opens the door to targeted regenerative medicine and interventions, such as therapies to grow bone.Continue ReadingCa… Continue reading Oral stem cell discovery reveals how they can be made to grow new bone
Researchers have genetically engineered stem cells so that they differentiate into greater numbers of the specific dopamine-producing neurons needed for effective Parkinson’s disease cell therapy. The method could also be used to generate other types of brain cells to treat a range of disorders.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a debilitating disease with few treatment options. But in a new clinical trial, scientists have tested a promising new therapy involving injections of stem cells, which seems to slow progression of the disease.Continue Readin… Continue reading Stem cell injections help slow progression of MS in clinical trial
It’s well documented that vitamin B12, or cobalamin, helps red blood cells form and facilitates DNA synthesis that protects genetic mutations in our cells. It is also crucial in the development and ongoing function of our brain and nerve cells. Now, sc… Continue reading Vitamin B12 helps reprogram cells to heal tissue & fight chronic disease
A huge multidisciplinary team at NYU Langone Health has successfully undertaken the world’s first whole-eye and partial-face transplant on a man who suffered horrific injuries after a high-voltage electrical accident. The landmark surgery opens new pos… Continue reading World-first whole-eye and partial-face transplant deemed a success
