Scientists have created models of human embryos by programming stem cells. The models give a glimpse into a key stage of development that can reveal new insights into genetic disorders and preventing failure in early pregnancy.Continue ReadingCategory:… Continue reading Scientists create human embryo-like models out of stem cells
Researchers have combined a drug that’s normally used to treat cancer with a naturally derived anti-inflammatory to stimulate pancreatic stem cells to grow into insulin-producing cells. The study’s findings could one day lead to an alternative way of r… Continue reading Cancer drug reboots pancreas cells to produce insulin
Researchers have transplanted precursor stem cells into the damaged heart muscle of pigs, repairing injured cells and improving heart function. The study may lead to a treatment that can regenerate heart muscle damaged by a lack of oxygen.Continue Read… Continue reading Stem cell therapy regenerates damaged heart cells & improves function
Researchers have taken stem cells from the human stomach and converted them into insulin-producing cells that respond to changes in blood glucose levels like healthy pancreatic cells would. The discovery could mean that one day, diabetics can produce t… Continue reading Stomach stem cells hold promise as a cure for diabetes
Australian researchers have achieved two firsts that will assist in the global battle against heart disease: they created a tiny beating heart with its own vascular system and then uncovered how the vascular system affects inflammation-driven heart dam… Continue reading World-first vascularization to advance global research into heart disease
While gray hair has been increasingly embraced in recent years, it remains a very visible sign of aging that some would prefer not to broadcast. And despite a lot of research into the mechanism that causes melanin-producing stem cells to run out of ste… Continue reading Stem cell discovery could help stop, or reverse, age-related gray hair
Human stem cells can differentiate into any human cell. But the process of dedifferentiation, essentially differentiation in reverse, is implicated in several diseases. Now researchers have uncovered a mechanism that is key to the process of stem cell … Continue reading Key mechanism behind human stem cell differentiation uncovered
Researchers at the University of Cambridge have developed a new type of neural implant that combines stem cells with electronics and has the potential to help amputees or those who’ve lost the use of their limbs.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, Scien… Continue reading Human stem cells used to create new type of biohybrid neural implant
Some 40% of the population over the age of 40 suffer from degenerative disk disease, and those who deal with the pain from the chronic condition know how persistent and difficult it is to treat. Hope may be on the horizon, though, with promising result… Continue reading Single shot treatment offers hope to sufferers of chronic lower back pain
