by Katherine Unger Baillie, University of Pennsylvania Following a transplantation procedure, human photoreceptor precursor cells labeled red migrated and integrated into a degenerated canine retina. The green label is a synaptic maker, suggesting the transplanted cells began forming a connection with second-order neurons in the retina.

By Nick Lavars May 11, 2022 An innovative stem cell therapy has demonstrated the potential to replace lost neurons in Parkinson’s disease Depositphotos Stem cell therapies are showing huge promise in a lot of areas, but one application that has scientists particularly excited is in next-generation treatments for Parkinson’s disease. A team experimenting in this...
by Osaka University Fig.1 Diabetes incidence by cancer immunotherapy could be reduced by mesenchymal stem cell therapy. Credit: Diabetologia, CC0 Immune checkpoint inhibitors are widely used to treat a variety of cancers; however, one serious side effect is the onset of type 1 diabetes. Now, researchers from Osaka University have discovered that stem cell therapy may...

The amount of anti-HER2 antibodies released by NSCs (green) was measured with antihuman IgGs (yellow). Presence of HER2 antibodies binding to the membrane of HER2-positive BT474-Br cells (red). Nuclear staining (DAPI) is shown in...

Regenerative properties from a patient’s own stem cells are responsible for regrowing bone, restoring blood flow, and being able to avoid further interventional...
AMERICAN HEART ASSOCIATION DALLAS, Nov. 14, 2021 — Stem cell therapy helped to reduce the number of heart attacks, strokes, and death among people with chronic, high-risk, NYHA class II or III heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), especially among those who have higher levels of inflammation, yet hospitalization was not reduced, according to...
