Embryonic Stem Cells

Stem-cell therapy can play a revolutionary role in the medical treatment of chronic spinal cord injuries, says an article published in 'Clinical and Translational Science' journal.

Using embryonic stem cells from mice, Chinese scientists reported today they have created functioning sperm, which was injected into female mice eggs and resulted in normal, fertile offspring.

A senior army officer, who suffered a severe spinal injury causing partial paralysis, has been cured after successfully undergoing a new stem cell therapy at a hospital here, authorities said today.

Muscle cells grown from human embryonic stem cells boosted damaged monkey hearts in lab experiments, said a study on Wednesday that holds promise for therapies to replace tissue in heart failure patients.

In experiments that could open a new era in stem cell biology, scientists have found a cheap and easy way to reprogramme mature cells from mice back into an embryonic-like state that allowed them to generate many types of tissue.

US doctors have begun treating the first patient with embryonic stem cells as part of the first human study of the controversial treatment authorised by the government, the Geron Corporation said on Monday.     The patient was enrolled at a spinal cord and brain injury rehabilitation hospital in Atlanta, Georgia, where Geron beg...

Scientists have found that a protein abundant in embryonic stem cells plays a major role in cancer.

In a recent research study, scientists observed that vitamin C prompted the embryonic stem cells of mice to transform into beating heart muscle cells. This current finding is crucial as it could help in the development of new heart failure treatments.

According to research, embryonic stem (ES) cells were turned into insulin-making tissue in diabetic mice. This could lead to the use of embryonic stem cells to make new insulin-producing islets.

India may tighten its existing rules concerning embryonic stem cell research to prevent violation of medical ethics. Stem cell research is the most prominent research occurring in the biomedical community today. Embryonic stem cells are malleable cells that form the human embryo and later develop into the various specialised cells of the body. Stem...
