Method Makes It Easier to Separate Useful Stem Cells from 'Problem' Ones for Therapies
April 22, 2013 Pluripotent stem cells can turn (differentiate) into any cell type in the body, such as nerve, muscle or bone, but inevitably some of these stem cells fail to differentiate and end up mixed in with ... > full story -
Metastasis Stem Cells in the Blood of Breast Cancer Patients Discovered
April 22, 2013 Scientists have been the first to detect cancer cells that can initiate metastasis in the blood of breast cancer patients. Patients with large numbers of these cells found in their blood show a ... > full story -
Using Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells, Scientists Can Better Study Human Disease
April 21, 2013 New work has led to major advances in our understanding of embryonic stem cells and "induced pluripotent stem" cells, which appear identical to embryonic stem cells but can be created from adult ... > full story -
Stem Cell Transplant Restores Memory, Learning in Mice
April 21, 2013 For the first time, human embryonic stem cells have been transformed into nerve cells that helped mice regain the ability to learn and ... > full story -
