Look, no embryos! The future of ethical stem cells
For years, ethical issues hampered progress in stem cell research. Now, experts believe that developments in reprogrammed ‘iPS’ cells will truly revolutionise the treatment of life-threatening illnesses. It is unclear at exactly what point the phrase...Stem cell breakthrough can lead to one diabetes jab a year
The new technique involves engineering blood stem cells into insulin-secreting cells. Scientists have made a stem cell breakthrough that could make it possible to treat diabetics with an annual insulin jab, eliminating the need for painful daily injections. The new...
Stem cells being used to cure back pain
Most cases of back pain are caused by problems with disks – the cushions between bones of the spine. Most treatments are not very successful, but what if you could rejuvenate a disk with your own stem cells? Johna Lindell has had disk problems for several years....Adult stem-cell therapies are the future, scientists say
National Catholic Register Adult stem cells, and not embryonic stem cells, are what all scientists in this field of research should be working on, says Dr Peter Hollands. Dr Peter Hollands, a renowned clinical scientist and researcher at the University of Westminster,...Stem cell transplant offers new hope for autism and Parkinson’s
Huffington Post Breakthrough research involving a brain transplant of stem cells could offer hope for the treatment of both autism and Parkinson’s disease. The study, from Harvard University, has already proven successful with mice. Following the transfer of...
