A speed limit could be a breakthrough for stem cell therapy
Replacing sick or damaged cells with healthy cells: this is a major goal of regenerative medicine. One of the most promising approaches is cellular reprogramming, whereby one cell type in our body converts to another cell type. Research carried out at...
A possible cure for sickle cell using Stem Cell Therapy?
Sickle cell anemia is an inherited blood disorder where red blood cells become sickle/crescent shaped. It causes frequent infections, swelling in the hands and legs, pain, severe tiredness and delayed growth or puberty. Treatment typically focuses on...
Intranasal Delivery of Mesenchymal Stem Cells-Derived Extracellular Vesicles for the Treatment of Neurological Diseases
Treating neurological disorders is a challenging obstacle due to multifactorial and complex etiologies. The therapeutic benefits of intranasal administration of extracellular vesicles isolated from mesenchymal stem cells have gained much attention in recent...
Researchers May Be Close to a Cure for Type 1 Diabetes
FRIDAY, Feb. 25, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Science could be well on its way to a cure for type 1 diabetes, as researchers hone transplant therapies designed to restore patients' ability to produce their own insulin, experts say. At least one patient — a...
First Woman Has Been ‘Cured’ of HIV Using Stem Cells
A woman of mixed race is the third person in the world believed to be cured of HIV after receiving a stem cell transplant from a donor naturally resistant to the virus, scientists announced last week. The success of the new method involving umbilical cord blood could...
Stem cell discoveries hold potential to improve cancer treatment
Two recent discoveries by stem cell scientists at Cedars-Sinai may help make cancer treatment more efficient and shorten the time it takes for people to recover from radiation and chemotherapy. In the first study, published in the journal Blood, investigators...
Stem cell-based implants successfully secrete insulin in patients with type 1 diabetes
Summary: Interim results from a multicenter clinical trial demonstrate insulin secretion from engrafted cells in patients with type 1 diabetes. The safety, tolerability, and efficacy of the implants, which consisted of pancreatic endoderm cells derived from...
