A Fountain Of Youth For Stem Cells Tampa FL (SPX) Jan 05, 2010 
Researchers from the University of Hong Kong and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have published a study in the current issue of Cell Transplantation (18:9), now freely available online, that explores ways to successfully keep stem cells "forever young" during implantation by slowing their growth, differentiation and proliferation.
"The successful storage and implantation of stem ... read moreCarbon Nanotubes Show Promise For High-Speed Genetic Sequencing 
Tempe AZ (SPX) Jan 05, 2010Faster sequencing of DNA holds enormous potential for biology and medicine, particularly for personalized diagnosis and customized treatment based on each individual's genomic makeup. At present however, sequencing technology remains cumbersome and cost prohibitive for most clinical applications, though this may be changing, thanks to a range of innovative new techniques. In the current is ... more

Stem cell-heart attack trial begins
Houston (UPI) Dec 9, 2009 Scientists at the University of Texas Medical School at Houston say they've started a Phase II trial of a new stem cell-based therapy for injured heart muscle. During Phase I of the trial, researchers said patients were treated safely with intravenous adult human mesenchymal stem cells (Prochymal) after a heart attack. They experienced fewer arrhythmias, improved heart and lung function ... more New stem cell technology developed 
Jerusalem (UPI) Dec 1, 2009 Scientists at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem say they have developed a new stem cell technology that helps bone fractures heal quickly. The technology that involves isolation of the stem cells from bone marrow was developed by Drs. Zulma Gazit and Gadi Pelled, along with Professor Dan Gazit at the university's Skeletal Biotechnology Laboratory. The scientists say their technology ... more Stem cells may become cancer vaccine
Storrs, Conn. (UPI) Oct 8, 2009 U.S. and Chinese scientists say they've discovered human stem cells hold the potential to vaccinate the body against colon cancer. The research, led by Associate Professor Zihai Li and Bei Liu, builds upon a century-old theory that immunizing with embryonic materials may generate an anti-tumor response. But the scientists say their finding advances the theory beyond animal resear ... more Moss may hold stem cell programming clues 
Tel Aviv, Israel (UPI) Sep 30, 2009 Israeli and German scientists say they've discovered moss might provide information allowing researchers to better program stem cells for medical purposes. Nir Ohad of Tel Aviv University and Professor Ralf Reski of the University of Freiburg said they discovered a new use for the polycomb group proteins found in moss. They said they determined the proteins play an important role in tel ... more |

Stem cells may help cure deafness
London, April 2, 2009 Stem-cell research has led to what British scientists are calling a "major breakthrough" in the hunt for a cure for deafness, observers say. The studies at the University of Sheffield in England raise hopes for a cure after the cells vital for hearing were grown in a laboratory, the Times of London reported Thursday. Scientists hope that further work will lead to functional cells ... more Obama lifts Bush ban on stem cell research
Washington (AFP) March 9, 2009President Barack Obama Monday lifted a ban on federal funding for embryonic stem cell research, lauding potential medical breakthroughs and a "new front" for US science free of political ideology. The president signed an executive order reversing predecessor George W. Bush's ban, which critics say hampered the fight to find treatments for grave diseases such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and d ... more Obama to drop stem cell research curb
Washington (UPI) Mar 6, 2009 President Barack Obama plans to reverse former President George W. Bush's policy limiting U.S. funding of embryonic stem-cell research, officials said. Citing White House officials, The New York Times reported Friday that Obama has invited stem-cell research advocates to a White House ceremony Monday, where he will announce the policy reversal. Obama supported such research as ... more Waiting for Obama action on stem cells 
Washington (UPI) Feb 19, 2009 Some medical researchers say they're let down U.S. President Barack Obama hasn't reversed Bush administration limits on human embryonic stem cell study. Proponents expected Obama to lift Bush's 2001 restriction in his first week in office, when he issued executive orders to close the prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, make government less secretive and fund international family planning gr ... more |
