High number of unmet needs associated with chronic diseases, as well as a rising ageing population will create a strong demand for innovative cures using stem cell therapy, says RNCOS. As per new report released by RNCOS, entitled, “Global Regenerative Medicine Market”, the globalstem cell therapy market, which had around US$ 5.2 Billion revenue in 2010, was the … Continue reading
A scientist named Dr. Rongxiang Xu has, according to the newspaper The Australian, sued the Nobel Prize Committee for giving the award to Yamanaka and Gurdon and not him. Xu is quoted in the article that he “discovered ‘regenerative cells’ in 1984. The suit filed in S. California, alleges libel and unfair competition. The Australian goes … Continue reading
Injections of heart muscle created from patients’ own skin cells could save them from needing surgery to implant artificial pacemakers that regulate their heartbeat, following new research. Scientists have grown fully functional heart muscles by reprogramming stem cells and skin cells from patients. They found that these reprogrammed cells can “reset” the rhythm of … Continue reading
Donor stem cells taken from adult bone marrow (mesenchymal stem cells or MSCs) were found to be just as effective in treating diseased hearts as injecting patients with their own stem cells. These were the findings of a new study presented at a meeting in the US. The findings, from the POISEIDON trial, are being … Continue reading
Researchers have found a better and a cheaper way to restore human sight by implanting a contact lens containing stem cells that will repair the human cornea. Scientists from the University of Sheffield hope that the biodegradable implant disc’s stem cells will multiply in the eye, thus rebuilding the transparent layer on the front of … Continue reading
Doctors have successfully used a disabled version of HIV to modify a 7-year-old leukemia patient’s white blood cells to attack her cancer. The breakthrough procedure could potentially replace bone marrow transplant as a leukemia treatment. Emma Whitehead was selected as a patient for the experimental technique after two years of battling with acute lymphoblastic leukemia, … Continue reading
Adult stem cells are our bodies own natural repair and renewal system. Many signs of physical aging can be attributed to accumulated damage done to cells, a weak immune system and free radicals and toxins. The Stem Cell Worx Intraoral Spray is creating sustainable benefit and value for its customers. It’s one of the few … Continue reading
The Future is Now: How Adult Stem Cell Treatment is Transforming Medicine The field of stem cell research has quickly reached a magnitude that it continues to elude the understanding of all but the most advanced of the scientific community. Many people are unaware that the first successful stem cell transplant occurred more … Continue reading
