Those who live in fear of the infamous root canal – maligned worldwide for its painful nature and disliked for the fact that it kills the tooth – will find relief in the news that researchers have found a promising alternative in the form of stem cell fillings. This approach relies on treating root causes and conditions...

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...

New stem cell model can be used to test treatments for a rare nervous system disorder
A City of Hope researcher has developed a stem cell model to assess possible treatments for a rare nervous system disorder that is in the same disease group as Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). An Alexander disease patient’s stem cell-derived astrocytes (green) inhibits the growth of precursor cells that become myelin...

Cancer immunotherapy ‘could be safer’ with natural killer cells
Scientists have developed an immunotherapy that uses immune cells cultured from stem cells instead of cells that are taken from patients to seek and destroy cancer cells. The approach may lead to “off-the-shelf” stocks of cancer-killing cells, say researchers from the University of California, San Diego and the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis. In a paper now published in...

Removing barriers to healing
Severe inflammation caused by a patient’s immune system can be deadly, but stem cells found in human fat could provide new ways to protect against this toxic reaction. Fat has a higher ratio of stem cells than other tissues such as bone marrow. Credit: Robert M. Hunt, licensed under CC BY 3.0 (image was cropped,...

Where Do Stem Cells Come From? | Basics Of Stem Cell Therapy
Where do stem cells come from? You have probably heard of the wonders of stem cell therapy. Not only do stem cells make research for future scientific breakthroughs possible, but they also provide the basis for medical treatment today. So, where exactly are they from and how are they different from regular cells? The answer depends...
