Stem Cell Research News From Medical News Today
In a breakthrough that may help fill a critical need in stem cell research and patient care, researchers at Mount Sinai School of Medicine have demonstrated that skin cells found in human amniotic fluid can be efficiently "reprogrammed" to pluripotency, where they have characteristics similar to human embryonic stem cells that can develop into almost any type of cell in the human body...

Stem Cell Research News From Medical News Today
The promise of stem cells lies in their unique ability to differentiate into a multitude of different types of cells...
Stem Cell Research News From Medical News Today
A clinical research trial of a new treatment to restore brain cells damaged by stroke has passed an important safety stage, according to the UC Irvine neurologist who led the effort. Dr. Steven C. Cramer said patients showed no ill effects after the sequential administration of growth factors encouraging the creation of neurons in stroke-damaged areas of the brain...
Stem Cell Research News From Medical News Today
A mathematical model developed at Purdue University can predict complex signaling patterns that could help scientists determine how stem cells in an embryo later become specific tissues, knowledge that could be used to understand and treat developmental disorders and some diseases. During embryonic development, proteins attach to cell receptors and start a cascade of reactions...
Stem Cell Research News From Medical News Today
Chimerix, Inc., a biotechnology company developing orally-available antiviral therapeutics, announced the initiation of a multi-center Phase 2 clinical trial designed to evaluate CMX001 in stem cell transplant recipients who are seropositive for cytomegalovirus (CMV). CMX001 is a broad-spectrum antiviral agent with demonstrated activity against double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) viruses...
Stem Cell Research News From Medical News Today
Immune cells use a bungee-like nanotube to snare dangerous cells, according to new research funded by the Medical Research Council (MRC). The findings by researchers from Imperial College London show that natural killer (NK) cells use this bungee, called a membrane nanotube, to destroy cells that could otherwise escape them...
Stem Cell Research News From Medical News Today
They are considered to be the most important model organism for research into human biology: mice may look totally different, but they are in many ways similar to Homo sapiens on a fundamental level. For instance, an impressive 99 per cent of the mouse genes are matched by a corresponding sequence in the human genome...
Stem Cell Research News From Medical News Today
Entest BioMedical Inc. (OTCBB: ENTB) announced the creation of 3 bone marrow derived stem cell lines useful for optimizing laser intensities and wavelengths in laser enhanced stem cell therapy. A stem cell line is a defined cell population that is derived from a single cell and has the capability to replicate for long periods of time in vitro...
Stem Cell Research News From Medical News Today
Researchers in the US have discovered that a latent form of HIV hides in progenitor cells in bone marrow, avoids detection by the immune system and retains the ability to reproduce and spread when the coast is clear (eg when treated people stop taking anti-HIV drugs)...
Stem Cell Research News From Medical News Today
University of Michigan scientists have identified a new reservoir for hidden HIV-infected cells that can serve as a factory for new infections. The findings, which appear online March 7 in Nature Medicine, indicate a new target for curing the disease so those infected with the virus may someday no longer rely on AIDS drugs for a lifetime...
Stem Cell Research News From Medical News Today
Tumor budding at the invasive tumor front of colorectal cancer is recognized as an independent prognostic factor significantly related to both lymph node and distant metastasis...
Stem Cell Research News From Medical News Today
Components of the blood or hematopoietic system derive from stem cell subtypes rather than one single stem cell that gives rise to all the different kinds of blood cells equally, said scientists from Baylor College of Medicine in a report that appears in the current issue of the journal Cell Stem Cell (http://www.cell...
Stem Cell Research News From Medical News Today
In a leap toward making stem cell therapy widely available, researchers at the Ansary Stem Cell Institute at Weill Cornell Medical College have discovered that endothelial cells, the most basic building blocks of the vascular system, produce growth factors that can grow copious amounts of adult stem cells and their progeny over the course of weeks...

A heart patient's own skin cells soon could be used to repair damaged cardiac tissue thanks to pioneering stem cell research of the University of Houston's newest biomedical scientist, Robert Schwartz...

Researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute have discovered a new method for predicting - with up to 99 percent accuracy - the fate of stem cells...
Stem Cell Research News From Medical News Today
Researchers from The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center have developed a new assessment tool to measure the severity of symptoms that can complicate stem cell transplantation. The tool assesses symptoms resulting from chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD), and was presented with supporting research at the 2010 Bone and Marrow Transplant Tandem Meeting...
Stem Cell Research News From Medical News Today
Like homing in to an elusive radio frequency in a busy city, human embryonic stem cells must sort through a seemingly endless number of options to settle on the specific genetic message, or station, that instructs them to become more-specialized cells in the body (Easy Listening, maybe, for skin cells, and Techno for neurons?)...
Stem Cell Research News From Medical News Today
Cord Blood Registry (CBR), the global leader in the collection and preservation of newborn stem cells from the umbilical cord, announced the launch of its new stem cell collection system that saves a greater number and diversity of a newborn's stem cells from both the blood in the umbilical cord and the cord tissue itself for a wider range of potential therapeutic uses...

Programs to create a new center for the study of stem cells and to increase capacity to deal with global health issues were among seven scientific initiatives announced by NIH Director Francis S. Collins, M.D., Ph.D...
Stem Cell Research News From Medical News Today
Working with mice, Johns Hopkins scientists who tested drugs intended to halt growth of brain cancer stem cells - a small population of cells within tumors that perpetuate cancer growth - conclude that blocking these cells may be somewhat effective, but more than one targeted drug attack may be needed to get the job done...
Stem Cell Research News From Medical News Today
UCLA AIDS Institute researchers successfully removed CCR5 - a cell receptor to which HIV-1 binds for infection but which the human body does not need - from human cells. Individuals who naturally lack the CCR5 receptor have been found to be essentially resistant to HIV...
