The breakthrough suggests first case was not a one-off and could pave way for future treatments.

The government has given the green light to using blood transfusions including platelets created from artificially derived stem cells to treat patients with intractable diseases.

System fully replicates Alzheimer's pathology, including neural cell death

Researchers report success with technique to replace part of genetic material that causes the inheritable disorder Marfan syndrome

Discovery may lead to improved treatment for chronic kidney disease

In an unexpected discovery, UCLA researchers have found that a gene previously known to control human metabolism also controls the equilibrium of bone and fat in bone marrow as well as how an adult stem cell expresses its final cell type.

University of Illinois researchers have developed a molecular probe that seeks out these elusive cells and lights them up so they can be identified, tracked and studied not only in cell cultures, but in their native environment: the body.

A clinical trial has begun which will use stem cell transplants to grow a new immune system for people with untreatable Crohn's disease -- a painful and chronic intestinal disease which affects at least 115,000 people in the UK

People with multiple sclerosis sometimes become desperate and will travel to other countries for experimental stem cell treatments. That?s not always a good idea.

The discovery by Stanford scientists drills a peephole into the black box of cellular reprogramming and may lead to new ways to generate induced pluripotent stem cells in the laboratory.
