A startup aims to spur the body's native stem cells to heal disease.
Neural stem cells represent the cellular backup of our brain. These cells are capable of self-renewal to form new stem cells or differentiate into neurons, astrocytes or oligodendrocytes. The receptors of the Notch family play a significant role in this process. So far, only stimulating extracellular ligands of Notch receptors had been described. Biochemists now describe a long time assumed but ...
According to Jim Greenwood, President and CEO of BIO, NIH's guidelines allow for federal funding of stem cell research, which is critical for enabling biotechnology companies to continue to develop products that are needed by patients. BIO believes that research on adult and embryonic stem cells holds promise to produce new therapies and possibly cures for cancer, diabetes, Alzheimer's, ...

Cell Multiplication Controlled by a Surprising set of Genes. Stem cell researcher Dr. Ann Kiessling has discovered that early human embryo cells express CLOCK, and other circadian genes, that other human cells growing in laboratories did not. This was a surprise. According to Professor Jose Cibelli of Michigan State University, "This is a seminal paper. I am sure we will be referring back to it ...
Ken Milles, 39, plays basketball with his 15-year-old son Tyler two weeks after Ken’s one-of-a-kind stem cell transplant after a heart attack. The Oak Park man, who plays sports with his sons, had stem cells harvested from healthy tissues in his heart then injected back into the organ at Cedars Sinai in Beverly Hills. One minute, Ken Milles was a guy who thought he had heartburn. The next, he ...

Hematopoietic (blood-forming) stem cells are immature cells that develop into mature blood cells in the bone marrow (spongy center of bones where blood is formed), the bloodstream, or umbilical cord blood.
Following President Barack Obama's decision to lift the ban on federal funding for embryonic stem cell research, medical and scientific experts will converge at the University of Georgia to discuss how recent advances in stem cell research can be translated into cures for spinal cord injuries. The second Spinal Cord Workshop, a program of the Bedford Stem Cell Research Foundation, will be held ...
