By NPR - Parkinson's Disease affects around a million people in the United States, and that number is on the rise, in part because our population is getting older. Dr. Claire Henchcliffe is the chair of neurology at the University of California, Irvine. She's one of...

By Technology Networks - Peking University scientists have developed a groundbreaking cancer therapy that could make life-saving treatment accessible to any patient, anywhere. A team led by Professor Wei Wensheng from Peking University, collaborating with the PLA...

By Wired Magazine - Swedish researchers have developed two types of 3D bioprinting technology to artificially generate skin containing blood vessels. It could be a breakthrough in the quest to regenerate damaged skin. When treating severe burns and trauma, skin...

By Ekaterina Pesheva - Harvard Medical School - New AI tool accurately identifies multiple drivers of disease in cells and predicts therapies that can restore cells to healthy function. In a move that could reshape drug discovery, researchers at Harvard Medical School...

By Stem Cells Translational Medicine - Background The objective of this study was to assess the long-term effectiveness and safety of implanting mesenchymal stem cells derived from umbilical cord tissue (UC-MSC) in patients diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa (RP)....

By Drug Target Review - CAR T therapies are saving lives, but toxicities such as CRS and ICANS remain a major barrier. What will it take to overcome them? Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy is changing lives for patients with hard-to-treat cancers. By...

by University of Geneva - MedicalXpress - Transplanting hematopoietic stem cells from healthy individuals is one of the possible treatments for blood cancers. In Switzerland, it involves nearly 300 patients per year. However, nearly half of transplants fail, mainly...

By Journal of Drug Delivery Science and Technology - Abstract Wound healing is the process of tissue regeneration, which, under normal conditions, is a very time-consuming process. It is also very susceptible to complications such as infection and chronic...

By By Tiare Dunlap, University of California - SciTechDaily - Antidepressants help immune cells fight cancer. They may improve therapy effectiveness. A commonly prescribed antidepressant may also strengthen the body’s defenses against cancer, according to new research...

by Alejandra Manjarrez, PhD - Exploring Drug Discovery and Development = Macrophage-based therapies for liver cirrhosis are entering clinical trials, but key challenges remain before they become a viable treatment. Macrophages — key players of the immune system —...

By UC San Diego Today - Findings reveal space-induced genetic, mitochondrial and inflammatory stress in blood-forming stem cells, offering insight into aging and risk of disease during long-duration space travel. Researchers from University of California San Diego...

by Andrea Lius, PhD - The Scientist - Researchers bank on stem cells to study developmental biology, understand oral cancer, regenerate organs, and save species on the brink of extinction. Stem cells can self-renew and differentiate into a wide variety of cell types,...
