Cultured limbal stem cells can repair the corneal epithelium in eyes with limbal stem cell deficiency associated with corneal burns, a study showed.

Allogeneic (donor-derived) stem cell transplant (alloSCT) may be a promising option for patients with treatment-resistant chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), regardless of the patient's underlying genetic abnormalities, according to the results of a study published online today in Blood, the journal of the American Society of Hematology.

A dose of stem cells, added to antibiotics, appears to reduce the dire effects of sepsis -- at least in mice. In a mouse model of the condition, giving animals mesenchymal stem cells significantly reduced mortality when combined with an antibiotic, according to Duncan Stewart, MD, of The Ottawa Hospital in Ottawa, Canada, and colleagues.

Frozen blood from stored samples can be used to make cells resembling stem cells, researchers said on Thursday -- opening a potential new and easier source for the valued cells.

Data analysis ignites public row. Long-rumbling hostilities between stem-cell researchers in Germany exploded into a blazing public row last week, after Nature published a critical reanalysis of data from a high-profile 2008 article.

Dozens of people who were blinded or otherwise suffered severe eye damage when they were splashed with caustic chemicals have had their sight restored with transplants of their own stem cells, a stunning success for the burgeoning cell-therapy field, Italian researchers reported last week.

According to recent research, adult leukemia patients do comparably well when they receive cord blood bank stem cell transplants the way they fare when they receive the stem cells from a well-matched adult donor.

Cellonis, a Beijing and HK-based biotech company, with its new personalized diabetes treatment concept has demonstrated an amazing improvement in their treated patients' conditions.

Most of the time, the body's blood-forming (haematopoietic) stem cells remain dormant, with just a few producing blood cells and maintaining a balance among the different types.

By emulating nature’s design principles, a team at Harvard’s Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering, Harvard Medical School and Dana-Farber Cancer Institute has created nanodevices made of DNA that self-assemble and can be programmed to move and change shape on demand.

U.S. scientists say they have developed a new method of effectively delivering stem cells, proteins and large molecules to damaged tissues.

Researchers successful in restoring transparent, renewing cornea in burn-damaged eyes

Here's what we know about hearing loss: while it is not reversible, it is treatable. So the focus of hearing health professionals and advocates has always been on prevention and treatment.

The UK Centre for Medical Research and Innovation aims to break down the traditional barriers between research teams as it investigates stem cells and conditions such as Alzheimer's, schizophrenia and autism

Patients blinded in one or both eyes by chemical burns regained their vision after healthy stem cells were extracted from their eyes and reimplanted, according to a report by Italian researchers at a scientific meeting.

For the first time researchers have found a type of stem cell that could prove crucial in reducing injury and scarring in the lung and even generate new lung cells.

People with Huntington’s disease face an awful future - perhaps 20 years as it slowly strips away brain cells. But there’s a chance that in the next 20 years, researchers at UC Irvine could develop treatments that could arrest Huntington’s – and other brain and nervous systems disorders – thanks in part to a girl from Fountain Valley.

The pig is an under-estimated animal. Known better for its slovenly habits and portly physique, the pig is actually a medical hero.

Two cutting-edge medical technologies, stem cell transplantation and gene therapy, were combined in an attack on the AIDS virus that may lead to new strategies for treating people infected with HIV.

A team of researchers at the University of Nottingham have invented a new class of materials that can be injected by surgeons as a low-viscosity fluid into the body that, using body heat as the only trigger, converts into a tough porous material with mechanical properties that mimic human cancellous bone.

Medical research keeps finding amazing uses for stem cells, for everything from repairing heart damage to helping aging faces look younger. Now stem cells may be useful in avoiding some hip replacements

Researchers at Mt. Sinai made an important finding in the field of stem cell research that can have an impact on how doctors treat heart disease. NY1's Health reporter Kafi Drexel filed the following report.

Adult patients with leukemia fare just as well when they get stem cell transplants taken from a cord blood bank as they do from a well-suited adult donor, U.S. researchers said on Tuesday.

The pig is an under-estimated animal better known for its slovenly habits and portly physique than for its medical contributions.

The Human umbilical cord blood (HUCB) delivered intravenously may offer therapeutic benefits to those suffering from cerebral palsy. A new international research led by the University of South Florida reveals that sugar-alcohol compound mannitol improved the therapeutic efficacy of human umbilical cord blood cells.

MELBOURNE scientists will transform skin biopsies taken from schizophrenia patients into stem cells in an effort to shed light on the cause and pathology of the disease.

New reports indicate that real hope for ‘miracle’ treatments using adult stem cells is on the way for those suffering from diseases afflicting both the brain and the heart.

For the millions of aging Americans who suffer from joint pain, stem cells may be riding to the rescue. Scientists at the University of Connecticut Health Center have recently developed a technique that reliably converts stem cells into cartilage cells.

Researchers at Mount Sinai School of Medicine have for the first time differentiated human stem cells to become heart cells with cardiomyopathy, a condition in which the heart muscle cells are abnormal.
