Cells could be exploited to treat osteoarthritis and osteoporosis A stem cell capable of regenerating both bone and cartilage has been identified in bone marrow of mice. The discovery by res... Read more
A new procedure can quickly and efficiently increase the length of human telomeres, the protective caps on the ends of chromosomes that are linked to aging and disease, according to scientis... Read more
Regenerative medicine technique brings surgeons one step closer to helping patients A new study by researchers at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles has shown that tissue-engineered small intes... Read more
New software developed by a Cambridge-based company could help diagnose life-limiting conditions in children in minutes rather than years, scientists have said. Rare genetic conditions in ch... Read more
Researchers in bone tissue regeneration believe they have made a significant breakthrough for sufferers of bone trauma, disease or defects such as osteoporosis. Medical researchers from Keel... Read more
Associate Professor Ki-Bum Lee has developed patent-pending technology that may overcome one of the critical barriers to harnessing the full therapeutic potential of stem cells. One of the m... Read more
The technology for creating new tissues from stem cells has taken a giant leap forward. Two tablespoons of blood are all that is needed to grow a brand new blood vessel in just seven days. T... Read more
Ability to produce embryonic stem cells will allow researchers to push faster toward cure Harvard stem cell researchers announced today that they have made a giant leap forward in the quest... Read more
