A new study has shown that mesenchymal stem cells derived from both the umbilical cord and from fat tissues may be able to provide a therapy for ovarian ageing. In a trial conducted using mice, researchers at the Centre for Reproductive Medicine in Beijing saw...
In a study first published in April’s edition of Advanced Functional Materials, researchers found that stem cells boost natural repair following cardiac arrest. The most common consequence of cardiac arrest is brain injury. Decreased blood flow and oxygen to the brain...
Researchers at Vienna University of Technology have taken an important step in making lab-grown cartilage a possibility by utilising a new technique involving 3D printing and stem cells. [1] The process involves a high-resolution 3D printing process to create small,...
A new study conducted by researchers at the Mayo Clinic has found that stem cell treatment for patients with advanced heart failure offers an improved quality of life. As many as 100,000 people are admitted to hospital in the UK every year due to heart attacks [1]....
The first phase of a clinical trial hoping to treat Multiple sclerosis (MS) with stem cells has yielded promising results. The early-stage trial was conducted by researchers at the University of Cambridge, along with scientists from the University of Milan Bicocca...
Medical regulators in the UK have approved a gene-editing treatment involving bone marrow stem cells designed to cure two blood diseases, including sickle cell disease, in what is a world first. The therapy, called Casgevy, has been given the green light by the...
