Spinal injuries can be like downed power lines – even if everything on either side of the injury is perfectly functional, the break can effectively shut down the whole system. Now, researchers at the University of Minnesota have designed a device that could link everything back together again. A silicone guide, covered in 3D-printed neuronal stem cells,...

Researchers discover new type of lung cell, critical insights for cystic fibrosis
Researchers have identified a rare cell type in airway tissue, previously uncharacterized in the scientific literature, that appears to play a key role in the biology of cystic fibrosis. Using new technologies that enable scientists to study gene expression in thousands of individual cells, the team comprehensively analyzed the airway in mice and validated the results...

Stem cell research for cystic fibrosis leaps forward
The fight against cystic fibrosis (CF) has taken a major step forward, with pioneering research by University of Adelaide scientists showing that cells causing the debilitating genetic disorder could be successfully replaced with healthy ones. IMAGE: GENE THERAPY TREATED AIRWAY STEM CELLS. The research published in the journal Stem Cell Research and Therapy applies cell transplantation therapy, normally used in bone marrow transplants to...

The 3 Best Peptide and Stem Cell Combinations with Great Therapeutic Potential
Current medical therapies fail to restore tissue damage due to degenerative conditions, normal aging processes, ischemia and traumatic injuries. Tissue regeneration and organ engineering have shown promise as novel treatment strategies for patients requiring tissue or whole organ replacement. Modern approaches to regenerative tissue therapies typically revolve around the use of stem cells.[i] The development of pluripotent...

Can arthritic dogs (and their owners) benefit from stem cell injections?
(HealthDay)—If dogs with arthritis can gain benefit from stem cell injections, maybe people can, too. That’s the opinion of an Italian veterinarian who oversaw the stem cell procedures in 130 arthritic dogs. “For at least six months, the results are very satisfactory and promising. The lack of any complications in the dog should be taken into account...

Is Parkinson’s an autoimmune disease? More evidence emerges
Researchers in Germany have found further evidence to support the idea that Parkinson’s could be an autoimmune disease. Using a stem cell model, they showed how immune cells attacked dopamine-producing cells derived from people with Parkinson’s disease but not from people without it. Dopamine is a chemical messenger that supports many important brain functions. These include functions that deal with...
