A leading researcher and director of University of Michigan's A. Alfred Taubman Medical Research Institute will speak in Detroit on the status of stem cell research and its promises of improving health and the economy.
The methods and outcomes for stem cell transplants are constantly improving as leading experts continue to investigate new approaches for reducing the serious adverse events associated with the procedure. New research takes a closer look at complications of stem cell transplants, including veno-occlusive disease and graft-versus-host disease.
Emory plans to conduct the first U.S. clinical trial to implant stem cells into the spinal cords of adults with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, beginning in January.

NeoStem, Inc. , which is pioneering the pre-disease collection, processing and long-term storage of adult stem cells for future medical need and holds the exclusive, worldwide license to VSEL technology that uses very small embryonic-like stem cells isolated from peripheral blood, announced today that an abstract authored by NeoStem-affiliated scientists was presented in a poster presentation at ...
( University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston ) The second phase of a clinical trial testing a new stem-cell-based therapy on injured heart muscle has been launched by researchers at the University of Texas Medical School at Houston. It is the only study site in the Texas Medical Center. Yesterday, heart attack patient Melvin Dyess, 49, received an intravenous infusion of either the ...
Researchers from the UCLA AIDS Institute and colleagues say they have shown that human blood stem cells can be engineered into cells that can target and kill HIV-infected cells, which potentially could be used against other chronic viral diseases.
Transplanting human stem cells from umbilical cords onto abnormally thin, cloudy corneas of lab mice significantly improved corneal transparency and increased thickness of animals' corneal stroma.
Scientists have rescued visual function in laboratory rats with eye disease by using cells similar to stem cells. The research shows the potential for stem cell-based therapies to treat age-related macular degeneration in humans.
