Is There an Overload of Stem Cell Journals?
Is there an excess of research journals that deal with stem cells? This question was asked by Cesar Borlongan and Drs. Paul Sanberg from the Department of Neurosurgery and Brain Repair at the University of South Florida. Their article has been published in the recent issue of Stem Cell Reviews and Reports. They are both [...]

17. August 2010
Along with Belgian collaborators, investigators from the Mao Clinic have shown that when logically “guided”, human adult stem cells can successfully repair, regenerate and heal heart tissue that has been damaged. The findings, which have also been termed as a “landmark work” in an accompanying editorial, have appeared in the Journal of the American College [...]

9. August 2010
At the RIKEN Center for Development Biology some researchers have finally decrypted a long pending mystery of why both induced pluripotent stem (iPS) and human embryonic stem (ES) cells are programmed to apoptosis (cell death) when cultured in isolation. The unveiling of new hints of cell therapy techniques is offering hopes to treat debilitating degenerative [...]

4. August 2010
Anti-bodies are proteins that are produced by the immune system to safeguard the human body against bacteria and viruses. Stanford is the first institute to show that antibodies are not only warriors fighting infectious diseases but as well nurses. This has been shown by researchers at Stanford University School of Medicine. The lack of antibodies [...]

15. July 2010
Comments Off
A negative particular feature of embryonic stem cells is there potential to turn into rare tumors known as teratomas. The teratomas are composed of various cells coming from diverse tissues and organs of the body. However, these tumors represent a hurdle for the progress in human embryonic stem cell therapies. Embryonic stem cell therapy is [...]

4. July 2010
Comments Off
A new blood test has been developed by Researchers to diagnose and examine the risk of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), which is often a deadly complication that affects people who have had a bone marrow transplant because of cancer or other conditions. The blood test will help doctors to comprehend whether patients require more intense treatment. [...]
