Stem Cells Reprogrammed In Live Mice
Researchers in Spain have reported that they have been able to reprogram adult stem cells in mice without ever removing them and manipulating them in the proverbial petri dish. The cells have been able to take on a wide variety of others, meaning the level of undifferentiation is getting closer to embryonic-like status. In fact …
A Man Suffering From Leukaemia Has Been on a Quest to Make Bone Marrow Stem Cell Transplants Safer
Simply put, Leukaemia is a kind of cancer that results in the abnormal production of white blood cells in the body. The only successful treatment that had been known for it is chemotherapy, which keeps it under check. But the recent medical developments have witnessed the use of cord blood stem cell treatment for Leukaemia …
Attractive New Regenerative Medicine Tool Uses Magnets to Shape and Stimulate Stem Cells
How would it have been if we could develop embryoid bodies (EBs) from individual embryonic stem cells (ESCs) using technology? This could give birth to the development of the regenerative medicines and other therapies, which does not require an external supporting matrix as needed by the traditional regenerative technology to create a coordinated assembly. All …

Stem Cell Therapy & Congenital Heart Disease
In order to understand how stem cells are useful to us, we first need to understand what these cells are. Stem Cells start in the embryo as immature biological cells, then become specialized to create bone, muscle, skin, the heart, the brain, and over 250 other types of specialized cells. This is why they are …
