ALPHAMED PRESS IMAGE: NEUROPROTECTIVE EFFECTS OF HUMAN AMNIOTIC FLUID STEM CELL-SECRETOME IN AN I/R MODEL. Durham, NC – A study released today in STEM CELLS Translational Medicine points the way to a possible new avenue of treatment for ischemic stroke. The study, led by Annamaria Cimini, Ph.D., of the University of L’Aquila, and Liborio Stuppia, M.D., of...

(A) DIAGRAM SHOWING THE THREE-STEP NANOREPLICATION PROCESS CONSISTING OF ALUMINUM ANODIZING, NICKEL NANOELECTROFORMING, AND UV NANOIMPRINTING. (B) SEM IMAGES (SCALE BAR: 500 NM). Stem cells are cell factories that constantly divide themselves to create new cells. Implanting stem cells in...
A new apparatus improves how we study the effects of aiming high-field terahertz radiation at cells, with implications for regenerative medicine Terahertz light pulses change gene expression in stem cells, report researchers from Kyoto University’s Institute for Integrated Cell-Material Sciences (iCeMS) and Tokai University in Japan in the journal Optics Letters. The findings come thanks to a new...
by University of Cologne Cross-section of a skin biopsy showing hair follicles extending downwards from the skin surface. Low oxygen around the hair follicle stem cells activates Rictor signaling (phosphorylated Akt; in magenta) locally at this site. Cell nuclei are labeled in blue. A team of researchers from Cologne and Helsinki has discovered a mechanism that prevents hair...
by Kanazawa University Protocol for implant-related infection model establishment in rats. Bone infections caused by implants are difficult to treat and usually require a prolonged course of antibiotic treatment. In a new study, researchers from Kanazawa University discovered that implant-related bone infections can be effectively treated with a combinational treatment consisting of antibiotics and antibiotic-laden stem...
New biomaterial transplants bone-forming stem cells into severe bone fractures It could reduce complications and infections from serious open fracture injuries After creating new bone to fix a fracture the biomaterial is absorbed by the body UK experts tested the material on mice and want to do clinical trials on humans A new type of bandage has been...
UT Health physicians use supercomputers to interpret results of traumatic brain injury clinical trial. Individuals with traumatic brain injuries, or TBIs, frequently experience the shrinking or atrophying of brain tissue near where the injury occurred, causing additional damage beyond the original harm. If this can be prevented, many could function in the future who cannot...
Durham, NC – Human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) hold promise in the field of regenerative medicine for how they give rise to every other cell type in the body and for their ability to propagate indefinitely. Their potential, however, is hampered by the body’s tendency to reject any “allogeneic” cells or tissue, which means that...
A research team led by Professor Kim Gyo-beom of Dongguk University’s Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering has developed the latest technology for joint tissue regeneration via simultaneous delivery of therapeutic growth factors and adi-pose derived stem cells into the body. The work was published in the Journal of Controlled Release (Impact Factor: 7.727, JCR...
