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.
British scientists begin a new study on Tuesday to consider how human DNA is used in animal experiments and to determine what the boundaries of such controversial science might be.
Over at the Knight Science Tracker , Charlie Petit has a round-up on news coverage of the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine's first significant research grants for stem cell research. Though much of the focus in California and nationally has obviously been on the promise of embryonic stem cell research, only four of the 14 funded projects involve these type of stem cells. The ...
Stem cells isolated from the brain of adult mice (adult neural stem cells [aNSCs]) have shown very modest therapeutic effects in a mouse model of the chronic inflammatory neurodegenerative disease multiple sclerosis.
LEWISTON -- Cottonwood resident Harold "Bud" Poxleitner was paralyzed in 1968 after a logging accident. His cousin, 40-year-old Robert Braucher, was paralyzed in 2003 in a car crash. Now the two are preparing to fly to Cologne, Germany, for stem cell treatment, the Lewiston Tribune reports. Poxleitner, who is paralyzed from the waist down, says he's just hoping to get rid of the pain in his ...
One thing that has always set California apart is our drive to innovate. That spirit is part of our DNA. It's evident all across California in everything from business to the environment to public policy.
Gregory Pence, a medical school and philosophy professor at the University of Alabama at Birmingham who is internationally known for defending cloning and genetically modified food, will speak next week at California Lutheran University in Thousand Oaks. “Genetically modified food and stem cells are topics that affect every American,” said Pence, noting the topics should resonate with ...

Salk Institute scientists found that dual-purpose switches controlled many of the genes activated in the regenerating cells of a zebra fish’s tail.
NOXXON Pharma AG, the biopharmaceutical company focusing on the development of novel drugs based on its unique proprietary Spiegelmer technology, announced recently the successful initial dosing of healthy volunteers in a first-in-human clinical trial with Spiegelmer NOX-A12. NOX-A12 is NOXXON's second drug candidate entering the clinical stage of development within only five months. The Phase I ...
NAPLES, Fla.----Glenna Irwin loved singing in her church choir. But three very serious lung conditions – COPD-emphysema, pulmonary hypertension and bronchiectasis - had left her so short of breath that singing was impossible.
SAN DIEGO----Entest BioMedical Inc. announced today that it has signed a Letter of Intent with Quantum Advisors, a San Diego based biotechnology consulting firm, to assist Entest with the development of its Stem Cell Therapeutic Treatment for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease .
Rami Amaro can tell as soon as she wakes up if it's one of the bad days. Maybe she can't move her right arm, or she can't see out of one eye. The worst days she'll feel the banding -- cruelly nicknamed the "MS hug" -- where the muscles around her rib cage squeeze her like a python.
A breakthrough mix of stem cell and gene therapy halted a lethal brain-wasting illness in two young boys, and could prove effective against other genetic disorders, researchers reported Thursday.
The search for the holy grail of regenerative medicine -- the ability to "grow back" a perfect body part when one is lost to injury or disease -- has been under way for years, yet the steps involved in this seemingly magic process are still poorly understood. Now researchers have identified an essential cellular pathway in zebrafish that paves the way for limb regeneration by unlocking gene ...
British scientists begin a new study today to consider how human DNA is used in animal experiments and to determine what the boundaries of such controversial science might be.Though experts have been swapping human and animal DNA for years -- like replacing animal genes with human genes or growing human organs in animals -- scientists at the Academy of Medical Sciences want to make sure the
