I must admit that, the more I read about what stem cells — especially adult (or “tis-sue”) stem cells that are not under the current res-trictions on the use of embryonic stem cells — the more I am incredibly impressed at the growing …
Like blood and plasma, stem cells are usually obtained through an easy procedure, and the people who donate them quickly generate more. But in other ways, they’re markedly different. There might be only one or two potential donors who are a good …
Hepatitis C is a mysterious disease as it has different effects on different people. It can also cause inflammation and organ failure. Scientists believe that if they could study liver cells from different people in the lab, they could determine …
Regenexx is a stem cell procedure based on four years of hard data from clinical procedures that uses a patients own stem cells (Mesenchymal stem cells) to help with knee, hand, hip and back complications. Complications that require surgery. “Mesenchymal …
Dr. Zannos Grekos may not have an attorney representing him at a hearing next month against a state complaint that he performed an unauthorized stem cell procedure on a patient who later died.
More than 250 participants, including key ethicists and scientists, will present their views on stem cell research and its ethics at the Qatar International Conference on Stem Cell Science and Policy due to take place in Doha this month.
The February edition of Neurosurgery reports that animal experiments in brain-injured rats have shown that stem cells injected via the carotid artery travel directly to the brain, greatly enhancing functional recovery…
A shortage of blood and stem cells in the black community is costing lives, Canada’s blood agency warns. Canadian Blood Services is calling on people of African and Caribbean heritage to register as blood and stem donors through its OneMatch Stem Cell and …
An early-stage clinical trial using purified neural stem cells to treat dry age-related macular degeneration was approved by the Food and Drug Administration, said StemCells Inc. StemCells Inc. Latest from The Business Journals StemCells raises .
Hepatitis C is a viral disease that leads to inflammation and organ failure. However, researchers are puzzled as to why some individuals are very susceptible to the disease, while others are not. Researchers believe they could find out how genetic variations produce these different responses by investigating liver cells from different individuals in the lab. However, liver cells are hard to obtain and extremely challenging to grow in a lab dish as they often lose their normal function and structure when removed from the body…
