Stem Cell Research

An international team of scientists has clarified the cause for certain genetic forms of Parkinson's disease, and has identified potential pharmacological treatments

The findings pave the way for new regenerative treatments for these diseases

New platform will enable long-term tracking of cardiomyocytes produced from induced pluripotent stem cells after implantation into the heart

The model resembles some key elements of an embryo at around 18-21 days old and allows researchers to observe the processes underlying the formation of the human blueprint

Study results show a weak point that may explain why allogeneic stem cell transplants may not completely remove the virus from the body

Researchers have now managed to eliminate leukemic and hematopoietic stem cells more selectively in an animal model, sparing healthy cells and tissues

Understanding how donor white blood cells remain active against recipient cells can pave the way for novel treatment strategies in graft-versus-host disease

Due to the shortage of compatible organ donors, stem cell-based therapies are considered as alternative treatment options for kidney-associated diseases

Heart problems, graft-versus-host disease are concerns
