Latest News in Medical Research on Stem Cell Therapy
We are over 3 decades into stem cell research in medicine. Stem cell treatments, historically, have been proven to be an effective regenerative therapy for macular degeneration, a degenerative condition of the eye that eventually results in blindness. The benefits of stem cells in bone
Could Fruit Fly Enzyme Wake Up Brain Stem Cells? New Study
Could an active enzyme in fruit fly larvae play a critical role in stem cell research? A new study has revealed some surprisingly encouraging results. Singapore researchers found that an enzyme in fruit fly larvae plays a key function in triggering brain stem cells from
Are Stem Cell Doctors Happy About the Passage of California’s Prop 14?
In the election last November, California voters approved $5.5 billion in funding for stem-cell and other medical research — throwing a lifeline to the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine. Is this good news for stem cell research and regenerative medicine? Stem cell doctors are split
Could Stem Cells Be the Scientific Revolution of the 21st Century?
Could stem cell therapy be the scientific and medical revolution of the 21st Century? Mike Moradi, co-founder and CEO of Sensulin, seems to think so. He recently made the case in an article published in the World Economic Forum, as part of the World Economic
Doctors Discover New Stem Cells to Treat Tendon Injuries
Recovery from tendon injuries can be painful and debilitating, primarily due to excess scar tissue buildup. And secondary injuries are common. New research, however, suggests that tendon stem cells could successfully be utilized to relieve tendons without the need for invasive surgery. The results are very
A New Stem Cell Treatment Could Change the Lives of Spinal Injury Victims
New developments in stem cell therapy hold promise for spinal cord injury patients. Scientists have discovered a new way to deliver neural precursor cells to rats with spinal cord injuries. The discovery reduces the risk of further injury and improves the growth of cells with
Dual Stem Cell Treatment Shows Promise in Heart Treatments
Good things come in pairs — even stem cells. Researchers in Hong Kong recently developed an integrated approach using 2 types of stem cells to rejuvenate the muscle cells and vascular system of the heart. Heart attacks result in permanent damage to heart muscle cells
Could Science Use Stem Cells to Grow Organs? New Study Suggests It’s Possible Someday
Stem cell therapy is an exciting emerging science, but it is still in its early development. We’ve seen patients experience promising results and increased healing with treatments for shoulders, knees, and back, but we can’t always guarantee a definite outcome, since everyone is different. It’s
Scientists Discover New Types of Stem Cell in Humans and Pigs
Recent news has been bright for stem cell therapy and regenerative medicine. Last June, scientists announced the creation of Expanded Potential Stem Cells (EPSCs). The cells are found in both pigs and humans. The beauty of these new stem cells is they have the features
New Research Could Change How We Harvest Stem Cells for Therapy
New research from the University of Copenhagen challenges traditional understanding of how stem cells work — and even suggests all immature cells could be developed into stem cells. The study found that the destiny of intestinal cells is not predetermined — and instead grow according
Grow a New Tooth in 2 Months? New Stem Cell Treatment Shows Promise
Showing great promise as a regenerative medicine, stem cells are a special type of cell that can divide and split into nearly any type of cell. They can be effective at healing an injury by promoting healing on the cellular level — encouraging the body
Kansas Researchers Investigating Stem Cells for Heart Health
Kansas researchers are continuing their 10-year old quest in determining the effectiveness of stem cells for a variety of conditions. Learn more here. Stem Cells & Heart Disease: What You Need to Know Researchers at the University of Kansas Cancer Center in Kansas City are investigating the use
Stem Cells: A Possible Solution for Diabetes, Heart Disease, and Other Deadly Conditions?
As Regenerative Medicine continues to become more well-known throughout the world, patients are increasingly relying on novel new therapies including PRP injections and stem cells. While research into stem cells is still ongoing, a few studies have found these incredible little cells may have the
