The stem cell market is growing rapidly due to increasing regulatory approval and public acceptance bodies. The benefits of stem cell therapy are attracting an increasing number of patients. The product submarket for human and embryo stem cells are expected to drive the growth of the overall market.
OCEANSIDE ---- International Stem Cell Corp. named a new chief executive and president this week. The company said the appointments help it prepare for placing its stem cell-based disease treatments in human clinical trials.
As California's $3 billion stem cell program passes its fifth anniversary, the challenges remain great. Much of San Diego's stem cell community gathered in La Jolla yesterday for the annual “Stem Cell Meeting on the Mesa,” and there was a lot of talk about big ideas and exciting experiments.
Scientists at the University of California campuses in Irvine and San Francisco have found a potential new use for human embryonic stem cells.
( Rice University ) The National Institutes of Health has awarded researchers at Rice University and the Texas Heart Institute a $1 million Challenge Grant to refine cell-tracking nanotube technology that could make magnetic resonance imaging up to 40 times more sensitive than existing MRIs, and help guide adult stem cells within the human body to repair damaged hearts.
NEW YORK & PETACH TIKVAH, Israel----BrainStorm Cell Therapeutics Inc. , a leading developer of adult stem cell technologies and therapeutics, is pleased to announce that its chief medical advisor, Professor Eldad Melamed, was interviewed on November 9, 2009 on Israel’s most popular radio broadcast, Galei Zahal.
Researchers have transplanted genetically modified hematopoietic stem cells into mice so that their developing red blood cells produce a critical lysosomal enzyme -- preventing or reducing organ and central nervous system damage from the often-fatal genetic disorder Hurler's syndrome.
The same genes that are chemically altered during normal cell differentiation, as well as when normal cells become cancer cells, are also changed in stem cells that scientists derive from adult cells, according to new research from Johns Hopkins and Harvard.
Human embryonic stem cells could help people with learning and memory deficits after radiation treatment for brain tumors, suggests a new study.
OCEANSIDE, Calif.----International Stem Cell Corporation , www.internationalstemcell.com announced today that it had made important strategic changes in its management team to leverage its growing opportunities in the therapeutic and research product markets.
Nov. 9, 2009 - The first human embryonic stem cell treatment approved by the FDA for human testing has been shown to restore limb function in rats with neck spinal cord injuries – setting the stage for the first embryonic stem cell clinical trial to include people with cervical damage.
( University of California - Irvine ) Human embryonic stem cells could help people with learning and memory deficits after radiation treatment for brain tumors, suggests a new UC Irvine study.
The first human embryonic stem cell treatment approved by the FDA for human testing has been shown to restore limb function in rats with neck spinal cord injuries -- a finding that could expand the clinical trial to include people with cervical damage.
Celling Technologies, a subsidiary of SpineSmith Partners, is collaborating with Tissue Genesis, Inc. to research potential applications for adipose tissue derived adult stem cells.
JAMA. 2009;302(18):1958. Researchers have used a novel screening method to identify chemicals that may selectively kill cancer stem cells, a small subset of cancer cells with the ability to self-renew and maintain a tumor (Gupta PB et al.
The same genes that are chemically altered during normal cell differentiation, as well as when normal cells become cancer cells, are also changed in stem cells that scientists derive from adult cells, according to new research.
