Progress in stem cell research and its translation to medicine is the focus of the International Society for Stem Cell Research annual meeting 20-23 June at the Melbourne Convention & Exhibition Centre in Melbourne, Australia.
Despite their vast therapeutic potential in such areas as cell therapy and tissue engineering, stem cells have yet to live up to their original hype and demonstrate widespread clinical success.
Regenerative medicine has emerged as one of the major areas of modern medical therapy. Its primary objective is to restore or establish normal function through the regeneration or replacement of diseased cells, tissues or entire organs. There are a variety of methods and approaches by which this can be achieved.…
Researchers describe how a new drug is able to reduce the symptoms and activate the dormant neurons characteristic of Rett Syndrome...
Biomedical engineers invent an innovative technique to help injured hearts regenerate...
Researchers claim that medicinal cannabis is safe and effective for pain relief, and are calling for the treatment to be properly established in our modern medical arsenal...
Researchers have combined biomaterials-based cell patterning and stem cell technology to make a 3D tissue model that could mimic early stage human heart development...
Young women with premature ovarian insufficiency may be able to use their own bone marrow stem cells to rejuvenate their ovaries and avoid the effects of premature menopause...
Biophysicists in Russia have gained greater understanding about the structure of nanofibrous scaffolds – termed nanoscaffolds – in a study that is researching heart tissue regeneration.
Researchers have discovered that the EGFL7 protein inhibits the migration of immune cells into the brain...
A study in mice has suggested that iPS cells may train the immune system to attack or even prevent tumours...
