Some experts say consumers should think twice before spending money on storing stem cells, because it is not clear how useful they will be.

The accomplishment gave a significant boost to medicine’s dream of growing human organs to replace damaged ones.

Harvard University researchers have successfully found that the stem cell therapy can be used as a way to boost the body’s ability to replace or produce new tissues. Transplanting adult stem cells into mice with an illness like muscular dystrophy (MD) helped rebuild muscle structure and strength. Thus the study presents a prospect of similar [...]

Kansas State University researchers are studying on the use of Umbilical Cord Stem Cells to deliver more effective and useful cancer drug. So far, chemotherapy has been the only treatment for cancer. But it brings some serious complications with it. Researchers are now focusing to cure breast cancer through the nanoparticles.They are fabricating the nanoparticles [...]

A gene that is overexpressed in 20 percent of breast cancers increases the number of cancer stem cells, the cells that fuel a tumor’s growth and spread, according to a new study from the University of Michigan …

I’ve previously talked up the promise of gene therapy, especially in my posts ” Clearing the Ghettos ” and ” Better Behavior Through Chemistry .” Gene therapy in general uses retroviruses that infect a person’s …

Scientists say they have finally succeeded in developing human embryonic stem cells earlier in the development stage of a blastomere, or a 4-cell stage embryo, so the whole embryo is not destroyed.
