First test of pluripotent stem cell therapy in monkeys is a successScience CodexResearchers have shown for the first time in an animal that is more closely related to humans that it is possible to make new bone from stem–cell-like induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) made from an individual animal’s own skin cells. The study in … Continue reading
Science Codex(SALT LAKE CITY) – Mice severely disabled by a condition similar to multiple sclerosis (MS) were able to walk less than two weeks following treatment with human neural stem cells. The finding, which uncovers potential new avenues for treating MS, will … …read more &nbs… Continue reading
Stem cell therapy shows promise for MS in mouse modelScience CodexLoring’s group at TSRI has been searching for another way to treat MS using human pluripotent stem cells, which are cells that have the potential to transform into any of the cell types in the body. Loring’s group has been focused on turning human stem … Continue reading

Scientists Get Closer to the Stem Cells That May Drive CancersHealthDayTHURSDAY, May 15, 2014 (HealthDay News) — Although the very concept of cancer stem cells has been controversial, new research provides proof that these distinct types of cells exist in humans. Using genetic tracking, researchers found that a gene … …read more &nbs… Continue reading
Genetic tracking identifies cancer stem cells in human patientsMedical XpressThe gene mutations driving cancer have been tracked for the first time in patients back to a distinct set of cells at the root of cancer – cancer stem cells. The international research team, led by scientists at the University of Oxford and the …Scientists Get … Continue reading
