Stem cells to beta cells: Treating type 1 diabetes with converted stem cells
Researchers convert human stem cells into insulin-producing beta cells using small molecules
Stem cells as antimicrobials?
Mesenchymal stem cells release antimicrobial factors that enhance the activity of traditional antibiotics.
Stem cell therapy to battle lung disease
First-in-human clinical trials reveals the potential of using mesenchymal stem cells to slow the rapid decline of lung function associated with pulmonary fibrosis.
The umbilical cord can be a long-term source for mesenchymal stem cells
This study highlights the umbilical cord can be used to produce mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) in the long-term, which will drastically increase the availability of MSCs for therapeutic use.
Stem cells improve the outcome of ACL reconstruction surgery
The researchers showed that bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells and decellularized free tendon allografts were effective for improving ACL reconstruction results.
Cornea made of ‘reprogrammed’ stem cells
Japanese scientists perform the first-ever transplant using reprogrammed stem cells to treat corneal damage.
Discarded tonsil tissue offer new hope for treating liver disease
Scientists look at the possibility of growing tonsil-derived mesenchymal stem cells on a 3D gel matrix that may one day be injected to regenerate liver tissue.
Bankability: Factors that influence the preservation of your baby’s cord blood
This study looks at factors that can influence cord blood usability to increase the likelihood of banking.
Study to look at using umbilical cord stem cells to tackle brain damage
We are highlighting the latest development in newborn stem cell research, where a group of scientists from around the world are exploring the potential of cord tissue stem cells to tackle brain damage in preterm babies.
Non-invasive, intranasal administration of umbilical cord stem cells can restore damage caused by lung disease
Preclinical studies show that umbilical cord stem cells can effectively restore damage from chronic lung disease.
Cell-free therapy using cord tissue stem cells for treating Alzheimer’s disease
Scientists explore the potential of using cord tissue mesenchymal stem cell extracts to slow Alzheimer’s disease progression.
Stem cell treatment may prevent vision loss due to age-related macular degeneration
A study published online in the journal Stem Cells shows that a single injection of stem cells can greatly slow the progression of age-related macular degeneration (AMD).
Stem cells could provide an effective treatment for type 1 diabetes
