Stem Cell Research News From Medical News Today
In light of a recent breakthrough study in adult stem cell research published in Nature, a group of the world's leading researchers, the International Society for Stem Cell Research (ISSCR), cautions against discounting the potential benefits of all forms of stem cell research, adult and embryonic alike. The study, conducted at the Harvard Stem Cell Institute by Dr.

Victoria and New South Wales have put aside their competitive interstate rivalry to collaborate on a stem cell research project, as announced by Innovation Minister Gavin Jennings and NSW Minister for Science and Medical Research, Verity Firth.
Stem Cell Research News From Medical News Today
According to an Italian research team publishing their findings in the current issue of Cell Transplantation (17:6), hearing loss due to cochlear damage may be repaired by transplantation of human umbilical cord hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) since they show that a small number migrated to the damaged cochlea and repaired sensory hair cells and neurons.
Stem Cell Research News From Medical News Today
The motor neuron disease spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is the second most common genetic disorder leading to death in childhood. There is currently no cure for SMA, but some clinicians and researchers consider stem cell transplantation as a potential therapeutic strategy.

Stem Cell Sciences plc (AIM:STEM, ASX:STC), a company focused on the commercialisation of stem cells and stem cell technologies, is pleased to announce that two independent laboratories in the UK and USA have achieved germ-line transmission from embryonic stem (ES) cells in rats using technologies exclusively licensed to the company by Edinburgh University.
Stem Cell Research News From Medical News Today
The use of human embryonic stem cells is opening new avenues for research, from the understanding of normal human development to the treatment of a wide variety of diseases. This month's issue of Cold Spring Harbor Protocols (http://www.cshprotocols.org/TOCs/toc9_08.dtl) features a set of articles written by Renee Reijo Pera and colleagues at Stanford University (
Stem Cell Research News From Medical News Today
Scientists have designed, developed and tested new molecular tools for stem cell research to direct the formation of certain tissue types for use in drug development programmes. A collaborative team of scientists from Durham University and the North East England Stem Cell Institute (NESCI) have developed two synthetic molecules which can be used to coax stem cells to 'differentiate' - that is, transform into other forms of tissue.
Stem Cell Research News From Medical News Today
REGENT is the second-largest trial using bone marrow-derived cells in patients with acute MI and the first large trial for head-to-head comparison of selected and unselected cells Intracoronary infusion of unselected and selected bone marrow cells proved to be safe and feasible
Stem Cell Research News From Medical News Today
How do blood vessel cells understand that they should organise themselves in tubes and not in layers? A research group from Uppsala University shows for the first time that a special type of "instructor" molecule is needed to accomplish this. These findings, published in the scientific journal Blood, might be an important step towards using stem cells to build new organs.
Stem Cell Research News From Medical News Today
The California Institute for Regenerative Medicine (CIRM), the state stem cell agency, issued the following statement regarding the research published in Nature by a team from Harvard that showed it is possible to take a type of adult pancreas cell that doesn't normally produce insulin and reprogram them to produce insulin. CIRM applauds the creativity and value in the research reported and shares the excitement in the promise it might hold.
Stem Cell Research News From Medical News Today
Johns Hopkins researchers have discovered the earliest form of human blood stem cells and deciphered the mechanism by which these embryonic stem cells replicate and grow. They also found a surprising biological marker that pinpoints these stem cells, which serve as the progenitors for red blood cells and lymphocytes. The biochemical marker, angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE), is well known for its role in the regulation of blood pressure, blood vessel growth, and inflammation.

The New York Stem Cell Foundation Announces Third Annual Translational Stem Cell Research Conference
Stem Cell Research News From Medical News Today
The leading figures in stem cell science will present the latest and most exciting breakthroughs in this revolutionary field of research at NYSCF's Third Annual Translational Stem Cell Research Conference, October 14-15 at The Rockefeller University in Manhattan.
Stem Cell Research News From Medical News Today
US scientists have discovered a way to transform living pancreatic cells in mice into another type of cell that produces insulin without having to revert to the stem cell stage, creating what is now a third route for cell reprogramming to add to the existing methods of iPS (induced pluripotent stem cells) and hES (human embryonic stem cells).
Stem Cell Research News From Medical News Today
STEMCELL Technologies, a leader in specialty cell culture media, cell separation products and ancillary reagents for stem cell research, announced the release of the AggreWell?400 plates, a revolutionary tool for researchers using embryonic and induced pluripotent stem cells (ESC and iPSC).
Stem Cell Research News From Medical News Today
The Michigan Board of State Canvassers on Thursday certified a ballot measure that would loosen Michigan's restrictions on human embryonic stem cell research, the Detroit Free Press reports (Bell, Detroit Free Press, 8/22). The board found the group
Stem Cell Research News From Medical News Today
Researchers in Japan have successfully made stem cells from wisdom teeth, creating an alternative source of pluripotent cells for researching and treating disease and avoiding the ethical problems surrounding the use of embryonic stem cells. Scientists at Japan's National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology, which is funded by the government, said they used wisdom teeth that had been frozen for three years after being removed from a 10 year old girl.
Stem Cell Research News From Medical News Today
A team of researchers at Advanced Cell Technology, the University of Illinois-Chicago and the Mayo Clinic on Tuesday published a study online in the journal Blood that describes a new process of creating red blood cells from human embryonic stem cells, the

Stem Cell Research News From Medical News Today
Stem cell scientists have developed a more accurate way of identifying aggressive forms of bowel cancer, which should eventually lead to better treatment and survival rates. Bowel cancer is the third most common cancer in the UK. The UK-led team, headed by scientists from Durham University and the North East England Stem Cell Institute, (NESCI*), studied tissue samples from 700 colorectal (bowel) cancer patients and tracked their progress.
