By Pharmaceutical Technology - AI can enhance the drug discovery process of regenerative medicine by tackling the primary challenges associated with the process. As the field of regenerative medicine continues to advance, the incorporation of AI is playing a...

By Technology Networks - New research has found hematopoietic stem cells in human lung tissue that make red blood cells. Red blood cells carry oxygen from the lungs to every other organ, and blood-forming stem cells must make about 200 billion new red blood cells each...

By Tulane University - MedicalXpress - Tulane University researchers have developed a CRISPR-based test that diagnoses Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia (PJP)—a life-threatening fungal infection primarily affecting children and immunocompromised patients—more quickly...

By UCLA News - UCLA researchers are developing a gene-editing platform that aims to correct the root cause of the disease Imagine a future where treating cystic fibrosis is as simple as taking a deep breath. That’s exactly what a team of pediatric physician-scientists...

BY JAKE REDER, CEO OF CELDARA MEDICAL - INC - Though most biopharma investment is in two states, follow this model to bring the research—and investments—elsewhere. The majority of Americans do not live in a biotech hub. Yet 62 percent of all U.S. biopharma venture...

By Drug Target Review - CAR-T therapy has shown effectiveness in cancer treatment, but relapse often occurs due to limited cell persistence. New strategies aim to improve CAR T-cell durability for longer lasting remission. immunotherapy has emerged as one of the most...

By UVA Health - A surprising discovery from the School of Medicine is transforming our understanding of hair growth and could set the stage for new approaches to cure hair loss. Researchers led by UVA’s Lu Q. Le, MD, PhD, have discovered that a previously...

By News Medical Life Sciences - The immune system’s natural killer (NK) cells are large granular cells that constitute the third major lymphocyte subset, representing around 10-15% of circulating lymphocytes in the blood. Natural killer cells are a vital part of the...

By UCI Health News - The California Institute for Regenerative Medicine (CIRM) has awarded a UC Irvine neuroscientist $4.6 million to advance studies of a novel immunotherapy that holds the potential to revolutionize cancer treatment by targeting all major cancer...

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 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...
