By Drug Target Review - Regenerative medicine is set to be transformed by induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). These versatile cells can be reprogrammed to become virtually any cell type in the human body, offering groundbreaking possibilities for treating a wide...

by The Scientist - Stem cells form the backbone of many cell-based therapies due to their unique properties, including the ability to self-renew and differentiate to many cell types. Multiple cell therapies deliver exogenous bone marrow stem cells into patients, which...

By Jacob Smith - Nature - CAR T remission breaks record - A woman who received CAR-T-cell therapy to treat a nerve-cell cancer when she was 4 years old is still cancer-free 19 years later, the longest reported cancer remission following the treatment. She received the...

by Tokyo Metropolitan University - MedicalXpress - Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have developed a way to treat age-related muscular atrophy using regenerative medicine. Conventional methods to implant myoblasts, precursors to muscle fiber, require...

By Cara Lynn Shultz - People - Cara Lynn Shultz is a writer-reporter at PEOPLE. Her work has previously appeared in Billboard and Reader's Digest. People Editorial Guidelines It’s been 12 years since Robin Roberts returned to the Good Morning America anchor desk...

By Dan Heching -CNN - While a lot has been said about the friendship between Robin Williams and Christopher Reeve, the famed pair’s bond illustrates a very basic and instrumental type of kindness, according to Reeve’s daughter. In a recent interview with CNN,...

Robert Lea - Advanced Science News - Scientists have developed a new 3D cell culture device made from soft, porous microgel particles that can mimic the effects of pressure on stem cells. This platform allows researchers to study and even influence how stem cells...

By Stem Cells Translational Medicine - Our study demonstrates the advantage of using genetically immunodeficient rodents over traditional pharmacological methods in cell therapy research for spinal cord injury (SCI). This approach preserves the integrity and...

By Queen Mary University of London - New research led by Queen Mary’s Institute of Dentistry has found that changes to the intermediate filament (IF) protein, vimentin, were found to promote tumour growth.  Vimentin is a type III intermediate filament (IF) protein...

By Neuroscience News - Scientists have discovered that neural stem cells (NSCs) receive constant feedback from their daughter cells, influencing whether they remain dormant or activate to form new neurons and glia. This parent-child relationship helps regulate brain...

By Technology Networks - Researchers at University of Galway have developed a way of bioprinting tissues that change shape as a result of cell-generated forces, in the same way that it happens in biological tissues during organ development. The breakthrough science...

By Stem Cells Translational Medicine Given the high heterogeneity of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), it is imperative to develop personalized stem cell infusion regimen for targeted metabolic phenotype in order to ensure optimal therapeutic efficacy. In this study,...

by Gladstone Institutes - MedicalXpress - Every 40 seconds, someone in the United States has a stroke. For survivors of the most common type of stroke, called an ischemic stroke, only about 5 percent fully recover. Most others suffer from long-term problems, including...

By Science Direct - This study investigates the efficacy of a 3D-printed alginate composite scaffold enriched with calcium titanate nano powders and loaded with mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) for bone regeneration in a calvarial defect model. Scaffolds (20 mm × 20 mm ×...

By Megan Liu - The Daily Pennsylvanian - A group of Penn scientists has developed a new method to remotely control engineered cells inside the human body using heat. Led by bioengineer Lukasz Bugaj, the innovation introduces a temperature-sensitive protein called...

By Heo Ji-yoon - Chosun Biz - Korean patients gain access to innovative regenerative medical treatments after law changes. Next month, patients with severe, rare, and incurable diseases such as arthritis, autoimmune diseases, Parkinson's disease, and cancer will be...

by Gladstone Institutes - MedicalXpress - Every 40 seconds, someone in the United States has a stroke. For survivors of the most common type of stroke, called an ischemic stroke, only about 5 percent fully recover. Most others suffer from long-term problems, including...

By Paul McClure - New Atlas - Researchers have discovered a new type of tissue, a soft and flexible ‘fatty cartilage’ that could revolutionize the treatment of traumatic injuries, birth defects, and cartilage-damaging diseases like osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis...

by Linda Wang - UCLA Health - Scientists at the Eli and Edythe Broad Center of Regenerative Medicine and Stem Cell Research at UCLA have received $21.8 million in grants from the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine, the state’s stem cell agency, to develop...

By Asaf Levon - Haaretz News - Can damaged parts of the spinal cord be replaced with functional nerve tissues? Matricelf aims to make this vision a reality with groundbreaking technology. In the company's laboratories in Nes Ziona, a team of about ten experts in...
