For the first time since the disease was described 109 years ago, researchers have discovered accumulations of fat droplets in the ... read more Aug. 27, 2015 A finding reveals why the transformation process of differentiated cells into stem cells results in significant damage to the DNA. Researchers have managed to rectify this damage using a simple ... read more Aug. 26, 2015 Compounds found in purple potatoes may help kill colon cancer stem cells and limit the spread of the cancer, according to a team of ... read more Aug. 26, 2015 Medical researchers have found a novel nutrient uptake process that maintains the activity of murine chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) stem cells. Pharmacological inhibition of nutrient uptake ... read more Aug. 25, 2015 A new research study has identified for the first time the details of how inflammation triggers colon cancer cells to spread to other organs, or ... read more Study Provides Hope for Some Human Stem Cell Therapies Aug. 20, 2015 An international team of scientists has discovered that an important class of stem cells known as human 'induced pluripotent stem cells,' or iPSCs, which are derived from an ... read more Aug. 20, 2015 Scientists have developed a novel way to engineer the growth and expansion of energy-burning 'good' fat, and then found that this fat helped reduce weight gain and lower blood glucose ... read more How Newts Can Help Osteoarthritis Patients Aug. 20, 2015 Osteoarthritis is the most common form of joint disease worldwide. Now, scientists have taken a leaf out of natures book in an attempt to develop effective stem cell treatment for osteoarthritis, ... read more Regenerating Nerve Tissue in Spinal Cord Injuries Aug. 13, 2015 Researchers are exploring a new therapy using stem cells to treat spinal cord injuries within the first 14 to 30 days of injury. The therapy uses a population of cells derived from human embryonic ... read more Newly Discovered Cells Regenerate Liver Tissue Without Forming Tumors Aug. 13, 2015 The mechanisms that allow the liver to repair and regenerate itself have long been a matter of debate. Now researchers have discovered a population of liver cells that are better at regenerating ... read more Aug. 12, 2015 Scientists have discovered metabolic rejuvenation factors in eggs. This critical finding furthers our understanding of how cellular metabolism changes during aging, and during rejuvenation after egg ... read more Can Stem Cells Cause and Cure Cancer? Aug. 12, 2015 Simply put, cancer is caused by mutations to genes within a cell that lead to abnormal cell growth. Finding out what causes that genetic mutation has been the holy grail of medical science for ... read more Why Statins Should Be Viewed as a Double-Edged Sword Aug. 12, 2015 Statins have significant cardiovascular benefits, but also serious side effects. A new study finds that statin use impairs stem cell function, which helps in slowing atherosclerosis but hinders other ... read more Researcher Studying Advances in Next-Generation Stem Cell Culture Technologies Aug. 10, 2015 A researcher is studying ways to advance the next generation of cell culture technologiesthe removal of stem cells from an organism and the controlled growth of those cells in an engineering ... read more Stem Cells Help Researchers Study the Effects of Pollution on Human Health Aug. 10, 2015 Embryonic stem cells could serve as a model to evaluate the physiological effects of environmental pollutants efficiently and cost-effectively. The use of stem cells has found another facade. In the ... read more
