By University of Louisville School of Medicine - A new stem cell therapy for heart failure is being tested in patients at the University of Louisville and UofL Health. The trial is the first in the U.S. to test umbilical cord-derived stem cells in patients for heart...

By Natalie Healey - Nature Medicine Going from the laboratory to an approved therapy in 11 years is no mean feat. That is the story of the world’s first approved CRISPR–Cas9 therapy, greenlit by the US Food and Drug Administration in December 2023....

By Inside Precision Medicine - The immunotherapy afamitresgene autoleucel (afami-cel) for the treatment of adults with the rare soft tissue cancer called synovial sarcoma was granted accelerated approval late last week by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)....

By University of Barcelona - A study published in The EMBO Journal opens new perspectives to better understand how the molecular mechanisms involved in regenerative medicine work. The study focuses on tumour necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and its receptors TNFR, molecules...

By Neuroscience News - Researchers have developed a model that quickly converts stem cells to brain cells with Parkinson’s disease (PD) protein structures, allowing for personalized study and treatment. This new approach can transform stem cells into brain cells...

by Molly Coddington - Technology Networks - Like many young girls in elementary school, Victoria Gray wanted to be a cheerleader, until she was told by her doctor that this simply wouldn’t be possible; the exertion placed on her body by the training regimen could have...

by Marla Broadfoot, Ph.D. - Mayo Clinic - Pancreatic cancer is a formidable disease, often diagnosed too late for effective treatment. However, new research from Mayo Clinic represents a promising step toward identifying biological signals or biomarkers that may aid...

By Priya Baraniak - STAT News - Cutting-edge FDA-approved therapies made from human cells are now being used to treat cancer, diabetes, and other diseases. Currently, most approved cell-based therapies use an individual’s own cells, but the next generation of these...

By Medical Xpress News - In November 2021, Northwestern University researchers introduced an injectable new therapy, which harnessed fast-moving "dancing molecules," to repair tissues and reverse paralysis after severe spinal cord injuries. Now, the same research...
