UCSD’s Stem Cell Breakthrough Could Lead to Treatment for Type-1 Diabetes
Times of San Diego Researchers at the UC San Diego School of Medicine announced Thursday they’ve discovered why it’s so hard to use stem cells to make liver and pancreatic cells, and their findings could lead to new treatments for diseases such as type-1 diabetes.

Stem cell procedures for paralysis patients
WNDU-TV The stem cells come from fetal spinal cords. The idea is when they’re transplanted they will develop into new neurons and bridge the gap created by the injury by replacing severed or lost nerve connections. They did that in animals and doctors are … |
