Study offers evidence supporting use of autologous stem cell-based treatment … – News-Medical.net

Study offers evidence supporting use of autologous stem cell-based treatment News-Medical.netPeople who have had a stroke, often suffer motor deficits with little potential to restore neurological function. However, a study conducted in Taiwan, that will be published in a future issue of Cell Transplantation, but is currently freely available read more

Animal Testing Could Be Replaced by Human Skin Grown From Stem Cells – Guardian Liberty Voice

Guardian Liberty Voiceanimal testing Recent research shows how skin grown from stem cells could eliminate the need for animal testing for drugs and cosmetics in the future. The newly discovered artificial skin, or 3D epidermal equivalents, as researchers refer to them, are Skin layer grown from human stem cells could replace animals in drug and Medical [ ]

Embryonic stem cell research is fraught with ethical dilemmas – Washington Post

Washington PostIt trumpeted the potential of embryonic stem cell therapies without mentioning that, despite billions in research, embryonic stem cells have not been the panacea that scientists hoped. Rather, clinical advances have come almost entirely from adult stem Annual Wisconsin Stem Cell Symposium to focus on bloodUniversity of Wisconsin-MadisonTeam reprograms blood cells into blood stem [ ]

A tale of two stem cell research papers – Boston Globe

A tale of two stem cell research papersBoston GlobeThis is a tale of two stem cell research papers. One took the scientific world aback when it appeared in late January: a report by a team of Boston and Japanese researchers that stem cells could be created simply by dipping mature cells in an acid bath.

Stem cell ‘exhaustion’ may play role in human lifespan – Nursing Times

Nursing Times Because these blood cells had extremely short telomeres, we speculate that most haematopoietic stem cells may have died from stem cell exhaustion , reaching the upper limit of stem cell divisions, said lead scientist Dr Henne Hostege, from Cold Blood of world s oldest woman hints at limits of lifeNew ScientistScientists find clues about human ageing [ ]
