A clinical trial has begun which will use stem cell transplants to grow a new immune system for people with untreatable Crohn’s disease – a painful and chronic intestinal disease which affec... Read more
University of Queensland researchers said the ability to provide two functions in one cell meant the cells could be used to regenerate or repair cell and tissue damage across a number of are... Read more
Human clinical trials could begin as early as next year A team of researchers at the University of Georgia’s Regenerative Bioscience Center and ArunA Biomedical, a UGA startup company, have... Read more
Researchers are the first to create sensory interneurons from stem cells Researchers at the Eli and Edythe Broad Center of Regenerative Medicine and Stem Cell Research at UCLA have, for the... Read more
Scientists at Albert Einstein College of Medicine have found that stem cells in the brain’s hypothalamus govern how fast aging occurs in the body. The finding, made in mice, could lead to ne... Read more
A team of researchers at Sahlgrenska Academy has managed to generate cartilage tissue by printing stem cells using a 3D-bioprinter. The fact that the stem cells survived being printed in thi... Read more
Salk scientists expand ability of stem cells to regrow any tissue type The new technique, which allows scientists to generate both embryonic and non-embryonic tissues from cultured stem cell... Read more
A ‘living bandage’ made from stem cells, which could revolutionise the treatment and prognosis of a common sporting knee injury, has been trialled in humans for the first time by scientists... Read more
Scientists from the McEwen Centre for Regenerative Medicine, University Health Network, have developed the first functional pacemaker cells from human stem cells, paving the way for alternat... Read more
Mechanisms underlying direct programming of stem cells could eventually lead to cell-replacement therapies A team of scientists has uncovered details of the cellular mechanisms that control... Read more
FINDINGS By coating tiny gel beads with lung-derived stem cells and then allowing them to self-assemble into the shapes of the air sacs found in human lungs, researchers at the Eli and Edyth... Read more
Technique uses 3-D weaving to grow a living hip replacement With a goal of treating worn, arthritic hips without extensive surgery to replace them, scientists have programmed stem cells to g... Read more
