In a breakthrough in the stem cell research, scientist from Ahmedabad have developed a technique to encourage a new kind of stem cells called ‘Mesenchymal stem cells’ generated from fat (adipose tissue) of donors, which can be used in treating kidney diseases.
Scientists have discovered that a drug, thioridazine, successfully kills cancer stem cells in the human while avoiding the toxic side-effects of conventional cancer treatments. To test more than a dozen different compounds, researchers pioneered a fully automated robotic system to identify several drugs, including thioridazine.
A new technique that converts stem cells into brain cells has been developed by researchers at Lund University. The method is simpler, quicker and safer than previous research has shown and opens the doors to a shorter route to clinical cell transplants.
Vancouver, May 27 (Xinhua-ANI): A team of Canadian scientists have discovered that thioridazine, a drug used to treat psychotic disorder, could successfully kill cancer stem cells in humans without the toxic side-effects on normal cells.
Some significant progress is being made in stem cell research at the University of Calgary and Alberta Innovates. The first victory comes with a new bioreactor technology, which is being used to make millions of stem cells more quickly than ever before. Researcher Roman Krawetz says they could create 50-million stem cells, but one of the big issues is the new cells are much more likely to ...
Former Iron Maiden singer Paul Di'Anno wants his ex-bandmate Clive Burr to undergo stem cell therapy
University of Michigan researchers have proven that a special surface, free of biological contaminants, allows adult-derived stem cells to thrive and transform into multiple cell types. Their success brings stem cell therapies another step closer.
( University of California - Irvine ) A UC Irvine immunologist will receive $4.8 million to create a new line of neural stem cells that can be used to treat multiple sclerosis.
For the first time in New Zealand, a unique workshop will bring together scientists and researchers on stem cells, people who have spinal cord injuries and their carers, and the health professionals who provide support.
SACRAMENTO — California's stem cell agency today approved two grants to UC Davis Health System researchers for their innovative work in regenerative medicine.
Scientists at San Diego's major research institutes awarded large grants to explore how stem cells might be used to treat everything from Alzheimer's disease to spinal cord injuries.
Increasing use by industry showcases stem cell technology as research tool.
California has granted a University of California, Irvine researcher nearly $5 million for stem cell research into multiple sclerosis.
Conventional cancer treatments, such as chemotherapy and radiation can cause toxic side-effects. Now, researchers have discovered that a drug called thioridazine can successfully destroy cancer stem cells in humans without these effects. Mick Bhatia, lead researcher of the study and scientific director of McMaster's Stem Cell and Cancer Research Institute in the Michael G. DeGroote School of ...
Calgary scientists say they have revolutionized stem cell production and have found a way to create the super cells without the risk of cancer.
Researchers have demonstrated that a special surface, free of biological contaminants, allows adult-derived stem cells to thrive and transform into multiple cell types. Their success brings stem cell therapies another step closer.
