(SACRAMENTO, Calif.) — A research team led by UC Davis Health System scientists has developed a novel technique to enhance bone growth by using a molecule which, when injected into the bloodstream, directs the body’s stem cells to travel to the surface …
The work has implications in two areas. In cancer treatment, it is desirable to inhibit cell proliferation. But to grow adult stem cells for transplantation to victims of injury or disease, it would be desirable to sustain proliferation until a …
Scientists have proposed a mechanism for the control of whether embryonic stem cells continue to proliferate and stay stem cells, or differentiate into adult cells like brain, liver or skin. The work has implications in two areas. In cancer treatment, it is desirable to inhibit cell proliferation.
A University of Minnesota-led research team has proposed a mechanism for the control of whether embryonic stem cells continue to proliferate and stay stem cells, or differentiate into adult cells like brain, liver or skin. The work has implications in two areas. In cancer treatment, it is desirable to inhibit cell proliferation.
The Center for the Biology of Chronic Disease (CBCD) has recently learned that scientists from MIT, Rockefeller University and the Medical College of Wisconsin have found a technique to generate liver-like cells made from stem cells. Pluripotent stem cells …
A family's $30 million donation to McMaster University aims to speed up development of stem cell therapies.
TORONTO – A family foundation is donating $30 million to McMaster University to accelerate innovations in health research, education and patient care. The donation by the Marta and Owen Boris Foundation was announced Monday at McMaster in …
$24 million is designated to speed the commercial development of stem cell discoveries. An additional $6 million is for a unique clinic for patients with complex health problems.
Q. What are human stem cells? A. Stem cells are the blank slates of the body that are used as the building blocks for growth, repair and replacement. As blank slates, these cells can be triggered to develop into the specific types of cells that make…
