Stem Cell Transplant

Chinese researchers have, for the first time, reprogrammed a woman’s fat cells to become insulin-producing pancreatic cells, reversing her need for insulin injections for over a year. In this study, fat cells were chemically reverted into stem-like cells and transformed into islet cells, which are normally found in the pancreas. The cells, implan...

The patient had been suffering from hard-to-control diabetes despite intensive insulin treatment and had received pancreas transplantation in 2017.

These cells can transform into endothelial cells and macrophages, aiding in blood vessel growth and tissue repair, particularly when triggered by injury or poor blood flow.

A 60-year-old German man is likely the seventh person to be effectively cured of HIV after receiving a stem cell transplant, doctors announced on Thursday.

Known as the Dusseldorf Patient, the man is only the third person in the world to be cured of the condition using stem cell transplant.

A man known as "the Duesseldorf patient" has become the third person declared cured of HIV after receiving a stem cell transplant that also treated his leukaemia, a study said on Monday.

A women suffering from leukaemia is the US is reported to be the first woman and third patient in the world to have been cured of HIV after stem cell transplant.

World Sickle Cell Day 2020: One can get infected with sickle cell disease if both parents have the problem gene and pass it on to their child. Here's everything that you need to know.

Japan has given the green light to a controversial research process involving implanting animals with human stem cells that could eventually help grow human organs for transplant inside animal hosts.

Scientists said Wednesday they have successfully used mice stem cells to grow kidneys in rat embryos, using a technique that could one day help grow human kidneys for transplant.

Human cytomegalovirus is a leading cause of birth defects and transplant failures. As it's evolved over time, this virus from the herpes family has found a way to bypass the body's defense mechanisms that usually guard against viral infections.

The stem cells can produce insulin-producing cells that in the future can be transplanted into diabetes patients.

A 15-year-old Iraqi girl suffering from a rare bone marrow failure syndrome got a new lease of life after she received stem cells from an unrelated German donor.

Kolkata: Joy knew no bounds for 42-year-old Nilesh Sinha, when he hugged his saviour, 27-year-old Sajat Jain. Mr Sinha calls it the ‘warmest and most meaningful hug of his life’. Two years ago, Mr Sinha was suffering from Aplastic Anemia, a rare disease in which the bone marrow and the hematopoietic stem cells that reside there are damaged. O...

The experiment, described Thursday in the journal Cell, involves injecting human stem cells into the embryo of a pig, then implanting the embryo in the uterus of a sow and allowing it to grow. After four weeks, the stem cells had developed into the precursors of various tissue types, including heart, liver and neurons, and a small fraction of the d...
