Scientists have taken another important step toward using ordinary skin cells that are made to behave like embryonic stem cells to find treatments for conditions like Parkinson's disease.

- How Stem Cells Develop Into Blood Cells 2 years 50 weeks ago
How messages sent within stem cells through a specific communication pathway can trigger the cells to specialize and become blood cells in humans, has been discovered by scientists of the McMaster Stem Cell and Cancer Research Institute.
- Synthetic sperm from stem cells raises hope for male infertility 2 years 33 weeks ago
Synthetic human sperm have been grown from embryonic stem cells for the first time, scientists claimed yesterday, raising the prospect of advances in male infertility treatment.
- President Barack Obama Lifts Ban on Stem Cells Research Funding 2 years 50 weeks ago
If you were troubled by ban on stem cells research funding, President Barack Obama has done it for you. He has lifted a ban on federal funding for embryonic stem cell research on Monday, thus giving stem cells research a new lease of life in US...
- Stem cell Contact lenses can restore sight says Australian Scientists 2 years 39 weeks ago
In a world-first breakthrough, Australian scientists have used contact lenses coated in stem cells to restore a person’s sight.
- What are stem cells and what is the stem cell therapy used for? 2 years 44 weeks ago
- New Anti-cancer Drug: 200 Times More Active In Killing Tumor Cells 2 years 48 weeks ago
A team of 24 researchers from the U.S., Europe, Taiwan and Japan and led by University of Illinois scientists has engineered a new anti-cancer agent that is about 200 times more active in killing tumor cells than similar drugs used in recent clinical trials.
- British Scientists Cracked Genetic Code of two Most Deadly Cancers 2 years 10 weeks ago
All the mutations that turn healthy cells cancerous in both lung and skin tumours have been identified in what researchers described as a "transforming moment" in the search for preventions, treatments and cures for both terminal illnesses .
- Esophageal Cancer from National Cancer Institute 2 years 49 weeks ago
Cancer that forms in tissues lining the esophagus (the muscular tube through which food passes from the throat to the stomach). Two types of esophageal cancer are squamous cell carcinoma (cancer that begins in flat cells lining the esophagus) and adenocarcinoma (cancer that begins in cells that make and release mucus and other fluids).
- Improved prognosis for patients with Metastatic Melanoma 2 years 50 weeks ago
Researchers have developed a new mouse model that allows them to replicate normal pigment cells at the earliest stages of conversion to malignant skin cancer in humans. After testing the mouse with a combination of two drug therapies, the team found the treatment caused a statistically significant regression in cancer cell development.The study was led by scientists at the University of California, San Francisco Helen Diller Family Comprehensive Cancer Center and the University of Vermont College of Medicine.
