Stem Cell Treatments

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.

Recent research has shed light on how "selfish DNA," particularly LINE-1 transposons, plays a key role in early human development. Once viewed primarily as harmful, these elements have now been found to be essential for the normal formation and specialisation of cells during the embryo's early stages. Blocking their activity causes developmental di...

The groundbreaking technology addresses a critical concern in cancer therapy. Many effective cancer drugs carry the potential side effect of heart damage.

The Delhi High Court on Thursday allowed two children suffering from autism spectrum disorder (ASD) to undergo stem cell therapy for treatment of their condition.

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.

In a remarkable finding, scientists have developed a nanotechnology platform that could pave way for new treatments for degenerative bone diseases. In their study, the scientists developed a technology that involves the use of iron nanowires. These nanowires bend in response to magnetic fields. Scientists grew bone-forming stem cells on the mesh of...

PRP or platelet-rich plasma is a perfect mix of the stem cells and growth factors that are made from your own blood. It not only boosts new hair growth but also stops the active hair fall.

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.

Former Formula 1 world champion Michael Schumacher is reportedly "conscious" after undergoing stem cell treatment in Paris earlier this week. A report from French newspaper Le Parisien claims that the ex-F1 driver was admitted to the state-of-the-art Georges Pompidou Hospital in Paris earlier this week for transfusions of inflammation-reducing stem...

Google said it made the decision due to "a rise in bad actors attempting to take advantage of individuals by offering untested, deceptive treatments."

According to the study, published in the journal Blood, inactivation of the tumour suppressor p53 is essential for unrestrained growth of cancers. But only 11 per cent of hematological malignancies have mutant p53

It May be time to evaluate whether the same stem-cell approach could produce insulin and effectively control blood sugar in people.

Igor, a Siberian tiger in a Hungarian zoo, received stem-cell joint treatment on Wednesday which doctors hoped would help heal its hip and allow it to live happily, on less medicine. Igor is a 13-year old tiger living in the zoo in the southern Hungarian town of Szeged. It has been suffering from hip joint pains for years.

A recent study conducted by the Rajiv Gandhi Centre for Biotechnology in India stated ginger a powerful remedy for treating cancer, certainly more powerful than chemotherapy.
