Could Umbilical Cord Stem Cells Help Ovarian Ageing?
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...
Stem Cells Shown to Aid Repair After Cardiac Arrest
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...
Growing Cartilage Using Stem Cells and 3D Printing
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,...
Researchers Investigate Use of Umbilical Cord Stem Cells for Crohn’s
A recent study published in the journal eBioMedicine found that umbilical cord stem cells may have the potential to heal the intestinal ulcers of patients suffering from Crohn’s disease. What is Crohn’s disease? Crohn’s disease is a condition that causes parts...
