In what is being described as a world-first, scientists in Israel have reportedly grown spinal cord implants utilizing tissue extracted from human volunteers. Those implants were then used to restore full walking abilities to previously paralyzed mice…. Continue reading Lab-grown human spinal cord tissue gets paralyzed mice walking again
A new player has entered the hair loss scene promising a new form of treatment that takes a more efficient approach to regenerating lost follicles. Like many solutions in the space, dNovo’s technology uses hair stem cells to replace cells lost through … Continue reading dNovo’s novel baldness treatment takes a direct route to hair regrowth
Immunotherapy is a promising new form of cancer treatment, but the supercharged immune cells it employs can become exhausted in the fight. Researchers in Japan have found a way to keep them going for longer, by rejuvenating them with stem cells.Continu… Continue reading Stem cell rejuvenation helps immunotherapy fight cancer tirelessly
Lab-grown mini-organs are advancing at an incredible rate, opening up new ways for scientists to model biology, diseases and new treatments. In a new study, scientists have created the most advanced stomach organoids so far, composed of three cell type… Continue reading Most advanced lab-grown mini-stomachs now produce acid
A pair of new studies are reporting results from a landmark type 1 diabetes human clinical trial testing the safety and efficacy of an implantable device containing stem cells designed to mature into insulin-secreting cells. The experimental implant wa… Continue reading “Functional cure” for type 1 diabetes passes first human trials
A team of researchers led by Chandan Sen at the Indiana University School of Medicine, is moving a new nanochip device, which can reprogram skin cells in the body to become new blood vessels and nerve cells, out of the prototype phase.Continue ReadingC… Continue reading New nanochip reprograms cells in the body to perform different functions
Researchers in Korea have developed microbots made of stem cells that can be delivered through the nose into the brain. These “Cellbots,” which bypass the blood-brain barrier, could one day be used to treat brain cancers and neurodegenerative diseases…. Continue reading Stem cell microbots travel from nose to brain to treat disease
Stem cell transplants are often used to treat blood cancers, but the process can be risky. In a new study in mice, researchers at Washington University in St. Louis have developed a way to make the process safer by targeting a patient’s faulty stem cel… Continue reading Chemotherapy-free stem cell transplant promises safer leukemia treatment
The role stem cells play in hair loss is one scientists continue to investigate from all kinds of angles, and a new study has uncovered a previously unknown mechanism by which they influence follicle health. The discovery demonstrates how these cells c… Continue reading Maintaining stem cell stickiness could be the key to battling baldness
Lizards are famous for their regeneration, able to regrow their tails on demand, but the new tail is not quite perfect. Now, researchers at the University of Southern California (USC) have used stem cell therapy to let lizards grow better tails – bones… Continue reading CRISPR stem cell therapy grants lizards new regeneration powers
