() New Cord Blood Stem Cells Therapy
Cord blood stem cells are human cells that have the potential to develop into many different types of cells in the body. These cells come from umbilical cord blood that can be saved after the birth of a baby. Similar to embryonic stem cells, which are very cont More>> -

Testes Stem Cells Can Change Into Other Body Tissues (Science Daily)
(01/05/2009 08:21 PM)
Scientists have succeeded in isolating stem cells from human testes. The cells bear a striking resemblance to embryonic stem cells -- they can differentiate into each of the three main types of tissues of the body -- but the researchers caution against viewing them as one and the same. More>>
Patient-derived Induced Stem Cells Retain Disease Traits (Science Daily)
(01/05/2009 08:21 PM)
When neurons started dying in Clive Svendsen's lab dishes, he couldn't have been more pleased. The dying cells -- the same type lost in patients with the devastating neurological disease spinal muscular atrophy -- confirmed that the stem cell biologist had recreated the hallmarks of a genetic disorder in the lab, using stem cells derived from a patient.

( Cardiovascular Research Foundation ) The 5th International Conference on Cell Therapy for Cardiovascular Disease will include a new session on stem cells for non-cardiac organ injury. The session will include new data on stem cells for islet disease and diabetes, bone marrow cells for stroke patients, and treating Parkinson's disease with bone marrow cells. More>>
Canadian researchers discover how to ID 'bad' from normal stem cells (CBC via Yahoo! Canada News)
(01/05/2009 08:21 PM)
Doctors have long struggled to differentiate cancerous stem cells from healthy ones, but Canadian researchers now say they know how to tell the two apart to hopefully one day better identify how to kill only the dangerous ones. More>>
Prominin 1 marks intestinal stem cells that are susceptible to neoplastic transformation (Nature)
(01/05/2009 08:21 PM)
Cancer stem cells are remarkably similar to normal stem cells: both self-renew, are multipotent and express common surface markers, for example, prominin 1 (PROM1, also called CD133). What remains unclear is whether cancer stem cells are the direct progeny of mutated stem cells or more mature cells that reacquire stem cell properties during tumour formation. Answering this question will require ... More>>
