Stem Cell Regenerative Medicine
Only an Inch in Diameter, Lab Organ is not Fit for Humans, but Opens the Door for Drug Testing or Creating Bigger Livers (CBS) Researchers at Wake Forest University’s Institute for Regenerative Medicine have grown a miniature liver using human … Continue reading
Eternal-youth seekers have great reason to cheer with the revelations of science about stems cells and anti-aging. Evidence is increasingly coming to the forefront that regenerative properties of stem cells can cure many age-related complications and delay aging. Stem cells … Continue reading
Spanish researchers unveiled a new method to create bioartifical organs for patients having theirs fail using stem cells. Scientist claim this will greatly reduce complications of the organ being donated. In American more than 98,000 people are on the wait … Continue reading
Induced pluripotent stem cells, commonly abbreviated as iPS cells or iPSCs are a type of pluripotent stem cell artificially derived from a non-pluripotent cell, typically an adult somatic cell, by inducing a “forced” expression of specific genes. Induced Pluripotent Stem … Continue reading
Bioprinting and Tissue Engineering: The Future of Organ Transplants William Browning, Yahoo! Contributor Network Bioprinting is a relatively new form of technology whereby biological cells are heaped upon each other in a specific pattern much in the same way many … Continue reading
Parthenogenesis is a form of asexual reproduction found in females, where growth and development of embryos occurs without fertilization by a male. In plants, parthenogenesis means development of an embryo from an unfertilized egg cell, and is a component process … Continue reading
Life Extension Interviews Michael West on new breakthroughs in anti-aging cloning research Cloning: The word sounds like science fiction. But cloning is now science fact for many species, and it could hold the answer for the majority of problems of … Continue reading
Tissue engineering and cell based therapies from the bench to the clinic: The potential to replace, repair and regenerate Reprod Biol Endocrinol. 2003; 1: 102. William L Fodor The field of Regenerative Biology as it applies to Regenerative Medicine is … Continue reading
Giant Hurdles for Nanotech And Nano-Medicine “The nanotechnology industry is expected to exceed $2.5tn in the next 15 years.” But don’t think this means the industry is anywhere close to reaching the mainstream. The Convergence of European Regional Development Fund … Continue reading
Parkinson’s disease currently affects 4.1 million patients globally which is projected to rise to 8.7 million by 2030. A patient with Parkinson’s disease progressively loses the ability to make the neurotransmitter dopamine, the mediator of the control of movement. There … Continue reading
