The Stem Cell Research Symposium is an annual event that is designed to present valuable information about stem cell advancements and study to people. The symposium aims to inform the public about the merits of stem cells and the treatment potential involved with the whole thing. Unique advancements have been made possible by stem cell [...]
Stem cell therapy has come a long way in recent years and there are several treatments that are being tried in the US. These treatments are showing promise in trials and some therapies like leukemia treatments are already being used. Stem cells are incredibly versatile in their uses and scientists and doctors are attempting to [...]
Stem cells have had several run-ins with legal issues and controversy over the years. However, stem cell therapy has come a long way and is being used to help treat multiple sclerosis. Multiple sclerosis is a disorder that affects the nerves of the spinal cord and the brain. This disease worsens over time and eventually [...]
Stem cell therapies have come a long way in the years since stem cell research began. Huge advancements have been made by scientists and doctors that show promise when looking at diseases with no known cure and conditions that were at one point considered irreversible. While stem cell research is still ongoing, it would be [...]
Stem cell research and treatment has had an interesting history, and the rebirth of stem cells has brought back options in new medical treatments. Stem cell research and treatment has come a long way in recent years. Stem cells are unique cells that have not specialized yet for their use in the body. These cells [...]
Until now, adults suffering from the congenital blood disorder sickle cell anemia, which causes organ damage and crippling pain along with an increased risk of stroke, had only two treatment options to help them cope with the disease: drugs and blood transfusions. A new stem cell transplant procedure has proven to be revolutionary in reversing [...]
Research conducted by Chicago-based Northwestern University suggests that stem cell therapy is successful in treating rheumatoid arthritis with the patient experiencing tremendous relief from her symptoms like morning stiffness and pain. Before the process of stem cell transplantation, she was administered various drugs to combat stem cell rejection and to prevent serious infection. Nine months [...]
Recently, the President of South Korea, Myung-bak, said he would try his best to get South Korea on the forefront of stem cell research in the next five years. Due to a cloning scandal that affected the country’s research efforts, Korea went from the position of a global leader in human embryonic stem cell research [...]
Stem cell research has long been a controversial issue in the United States. Several states currently have bans in place on embryonic stem cell research. This type of research has the potential to become incredibly valuable in the medical field. Since stem cell research started, significant advancements have been made. Scientists understand a lot more [...]
Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPS) are cells that can be reprogrammed into different cell lines using defined sets of growth factors. The genetic makeup of these cells can be artificially tweaked by scientists to create different cell lines and cell types as the cells act as precursors. Though this presents a lot of hope in [...]
