The treatment, given to four people with damaged corneas, seems safe but needs to be tested in larger trials. The transparent cornea is the outermost layer of the eye.

Game-Changing Stem Cell Treatment Gives Multiple Sclerosis Patients Hope
Stem cell transplants may be the answer to multiple sclerosis. A new study found that haematopoietic stem cell transplantation was highly successful in diminishing the symptoms of multiple sclerosis patients. ( Spencer Platt | Getty Images ) Thanks to stem cell treatment, it might be possible to stop multiple sclerosis and improve its symptoms. A potentially disabling disease of the...

Paraplegic rats walk and regain feeling after stem cell treatment
The rats show significantly improved mobility and sensory perception, as well as spinal cord healing Rat Engineered tissue containing human stem cells has allowed paraplegic rats to walk independently and regain sensory perception. The implanted rats also show some degree of healing in their spinal cords. The research, published in Frontiers in Neuroscience, demonstrates the great...

World first: Stem cell treatment for lethal STAT1 gene mutation shows ‘disappointing,’ but promising results
The first ever study assessing how patients with “gain of function” mutation of the STAT1 gene respond to stem cell transplantation has taken place. It involved 15 young patients, from nine different countries, each suffering a range of complications caused by the gene’s mutation. Of these, only six survived a regime of stem cell transplantation...

Stem cell treatment for lethal STAT1 gene mutation produces mixed results
One example of STAT1 GOF Mutation phenotype. Researchers report the first-ever study assessing how patients with “gain of function” mutation of the STAT1 gene respond to stem cell transplantation. It involved 15 young patients from nine different countries, each suffering a range of complications caused by the gene’s mutation. Of these, only six survived...

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis – Stem Cell Treatment
A study led by Indiana University School of Medicine researchers demonstrates how electroacupuncture triggers a neurological mechanism that can help promote tissue repair and relieve injury-induced pain. Their findings, published online March 16 in the journal Stem Cells, provide the most comprehensive picture yet of how electroacupuncture stimulates the brain to facilitate the release of stem...
