Researchers from The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center have found a therapy that effectively kills human leukemia cells in mice using natural killer cells from umbilical cord blood.

“Instead, we want to marry the two therapies to improve each other and provide a more effective, less toxic treatment for our patients.”
Researchers from The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center have found a possible approach to therapy that may make cancer cells more sensitive to attack by immune system cells while [...]

Researches at the Manchester and Sheffield Universities have been able to identify the techniques to turn embryonic stem cells into insulin-producing pancreatic tissue. They will now be able to manipulate the stem cell to produce ‘transcription factor’, a protein necessary for treatment.
The number of embryonic stem cells, able to produce insulin-producing pancreatic cells, were [...]

Three groups of scientists have independently identified two genetic variations in chromosome 15 as a major reason for developing lung cancer. They however hold differing opinion as to whether the variation causes the disease directly or by increasing addiction to cigarettes.
Their study is in sharp contrast to the popular notion that smoking is the [...]

Bio-heart has finally revealed the data of its seismic trial. It shows that Myocell Myoblast clinical cell therapy is good way to improve heart problems like cardiac devices and congested heart diseases. Researchers also say that the treatment is a safe one. The research was conducted with 26 patients receiving [...]
