Scientists from The Pennsylvania State University have discovered the specific molecular signals that efficiently mature nascent stem cells into endothelial cells that comprise blood vessels.

“Drugs designed to treat brain diseases need to pass through the blood brain barrier to be effective,” Dr Lian

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD), a common eye disorder leading to permanent loss of central vision, is the leading cause of blindness in developed countries. Current treatments for AMD are often ineffective, particularly for dry AMD, the most common form of the disorder.

According to the trial's results, seven of the 10 patients experienced increased strength in muscle motor groups and increased sensation to pinpricks and light touch.

The versatility of dental stem cells holds immense promise for regenerative medicine. Researchers are exploring a wide range of potential applications, including dental regeneration, bone regeneration, and neurological disorders.

Yale researchers are exploring a new approach to treat a potentially deadly heart defect. They have begun designing an artificial blood vessel to grow in a patient’s heart.

There is a sophisticated and delicate balance to keeping stem cells inactive and protected, but at the same time also allow them to respond to stress when needed and replicate themselves.

Angiogenesis and osteogenesis are two key elements in bone formation. Promoting the vascularization of bone is a key strategy for achieving favorable bone defect healing.

Researchers at the University of Maryland School of Medicine (UMSOM) have identified an innovation in stem cell therapy to regenerate neural cells in the brain after cardiac arrest in an animal model.

A Mayo Clinic study shows stem cells derived from patients' own fat are safe and may improve sensation and movement after traumatic spinal cord injuries.

"We found the molecules that stem cells make to help heal and repair tissue, and we hope that understanding this will be potentially useful as a medication in the future." -Hugh Taylor, MD

Gene Therapy for Multiple Sulfatase Deficiency (MSD): Researchers have tested a preclinical model for an experimental gene therapy designed to treat MSD, a disorder affecting the brain, lungs, skin, and skeleton.

Blood Stem Cells Grown in Lab: For the first time, scientists have successfully grown blood stem cells in a laboratory. This breakthrough could potentially eliminate the need for bone marrow donors.

Researchers have made significant progress in creating blood stem cells that closely resemble those in the human body. This discovery could lead to personalized treatments for children with leukemia and bone marrow failure.

Feline iPSCs: High-quality feline induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) have been generated without a genetic footprint. This advancement is expected to further research using these stem cells.

Nat. Inst. of Mental Health has launched the SSPsyGene consortium, focusing on neurodevelopmental and psychiatric disorders like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, autism, and depression. This initiative aims to rewrite the genetic code of mental health using stem cell research.

Scientists from Harvard and MIT have developed a chemical method to reprogram cells to a more youthful state, offering potential applications in regenerative medicine and treatment of age-related diseases.

Kidney Disease in Cats: Researchers have successfully generated high-quality feline induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) without a genetic footprint. This advancement is expected to aid further research using these stem cells. #stemcells #stemcelltherapy #stemcellresearch
