Stem Cell Delivery Approach Shows Promise for Stroke Recovery
By University of Miami Miller school of Medicine - Researchers from the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine and collaborating institutions have published a comprehensive review examining the rapidly evolving field of intra-arterial stem cell therapy for...
UCLA scientists engineer ready-to-use cancer-fighting T cells for solid tumors
By UCLA Health - A new stem cell-based platform produces uniform T cells that attack solid tumors two ways while avoiding a dangerous side effect T cell receptor, or TCR, therapy is a cancer treatment that genetically reprograms immune cells, called T cells, to hunt...
Newly Discovered Stem Cell Reveals Potential Drug Target for Spinal Stenosis
By HSS - Researchers at Hospital for Special Surgery and Weill Cornell Medicine have discovered the stem cells—unspecialized cells that can develop into specific cell types—that give rise to the body’s tendons and ligaments, the tissues connecting muscles and bones....
CAR T-cell therapy for stubborn classical hematology issues
By Nebrask Medicine - For most patients with classical hematology conditions, today’s treatments offer reasonable control. For a small group of patients who have exhausted every available option, CAR T-cell therapy may offer something far more durable – a one-time...
Stem cells can contribute to new treatments for heart attacks and Parkinson’s
by Cecilie Bakken Høstmark, University of Oslo - Medical Xpress - On the forearms of those working in the laboratory at the University of Oslo, one thing stands out: mysterious round or cross-shaped scars on the skin. Here, researchers need skin cells, and they...
Translational Longevity Takes Center Stage: New Report and Boston Summit Aim to Bridge the Gap Between Discovery and Patient Care
By CityBuzz - In the rapidly evolving field of longevity science, a new report underscores a critical shift: the real challenge is not just making discoveries, but ensuring they reach patients. The August Wellness Index Report, published by Wellness Eternal, focuses...
Genetic ‘switches’ could program 3D-printed bone tissue for blood vessel growth
by Ty Tkacik, Pennsylvania State University - Phys Org - An interdisciplinary team of engineers and chemists at Penn State has laid the groundwork for 3D printing spheroids—tiny clusters of living cells—capable of regenerating bone tissue in response to severe trauma...
AI Helps Identify Regulatory Hub for Aging in Hematopoietic Stem Cells
By Tohoku University - Stem cells possess the unique ability to self-renew and transform into different types of cells. For example, rare hematopoietic stem cells found in bone marrow can become any type of blood cell. Throughout life, they can produce new blood cells...
First-in-human pilot trial improves stem cell collection and delivery for sickle cell gene therapy
by Children's Hospital Boston - Medical Xpress - Patients with sickle cell disease are often hesitant to undergo transformative gene therapy—the current lengthy process requires multiple hospital visits to collect enough stem cells. Researchers from Boston Children's...
