Emerging research suggests that stem cell-based therapies could offer a new approach to treating influenza-related lung damage. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in particular have been shown to repair lung tissue and modulate the immune response, providing hope for...
The results from a Phase I/II clinical trial suggests a new stem cell-based therapy has the power to treat osteoarthritis (OA). The trial, which was conducted by Australian biotechnology company Magellan Stem Cells, demonstrated that their ‘off-the-shelf’ stem cell...
Five-year-old Gunner Lewis-Vale from Shropshire is finally able to step outside and enjoy the summer for the first time in six months, thanks to a successful stem cell transplant from umbilical cord blood donated 15 years ago. [1] [2] [3] Gunner’s Story At...
New research has emerged showing that a stem cell-derived therapy may be able to treat the most common, and deadliest, form of liver cancer. Scientists at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) have developed a therapy using natural killer (NK) cells derived...
The results from a new study into treating atopic dermatitis (AD) – the most common form of eczema – suggest that mesenchymal stem cells are effective in combatting AD symptoms. The phase 1/2 trial, which aimed to treat patients suffering from moderate to...
It was announced this month that the results of research into a new stem cell based therapy for Hirschsprung disease – a rare condition affecting bowel movement – were promising. Conducted by teams from University College London and the University of...
