Human Embryonic Stem Cell

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.

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.

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...

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.
