Would you believe if we told you that stem cell regeneration can be boosted with a single protein? Wondering about the implications? It means you can recover from injuries faster. CIRM-funded scientists from the UCLA Broad Stem Cell Research Center confirmed that hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs), which are responsible for generating cells in the blood […]

Still Unsure How Cord Blood Banking Works?
Cord blood is the richest source of stem cells and is derived from the blood of a new born baby’s umbilical cord. Stem cells are used in various clinical processes these days. Once collected and preserved, the cord blood stem cells have the healing power to treat many diseases by growing new tissues, blood vessels […]
Stem Cells Have a Neat Trick to Prevent Tissue Scarring
Aging is a natural process that no one can deny. But how about a treatment that will not only keep your muscles flexible during the normal aging process, but also treat various muscle wasting diseases? Well, this is no more a mere concept. The Stanford University School of Medicine researchers have discovered that stem cells, […]
Measuring Depression With Non-invasive Imaging of New Brain Cells
Modern medical science has proved many old notions wrong. Our belief that the adult brain cannot grow new neurons, is one of them. Researchers now have proved that the stem cells, present in our brains can generate new neurons and the use of Prozac or any other anti-depressant drug may help in neurogenesis (the growth […]

Scientists Developed Fertilized Eggs From Mouse Stem Cells
Japanese reproductive biologist, Katsuhiko Hayashi at the Kyushu University in Fukuoka, headed the research that published its findings in the journal known as ‘Nature’ on how they had been able to produce mouse eggs from mouse stem cells under laboratory conditions and then pushed the eggs towards fertilisation, yielding a fertile offspring as the end […]
