Stem cell treatments have the potential to change the face of human disease and alleviate suffering. The ability of stem cells to self-renew and give rise to subsequent generations that can differentiate offers a large potential to culture tissues that … Continue reading
Progress in stem cell biology has been accelerated through the integration of the fundamental fields of molecular embryology and immunology with the emerging multidisciplinary fields of systems biology, bioengineering, and disease networks. The translation into the clinical applications of regenerative … Continue reading
Over recent years, therapeutic cloning has progressed enormously. As early as in 2000, it was proved that this technique acted as a cellular time machine, at least for several mammalian species. Cells were turned into immortal as aging of cells … Continue reading
The somatic stem cell theory of aging gains much attention in the scientific community recently. Adult or somatic stem cells (SSC)are the multipotent undiffrentiated cells found in adult tissues. SSC has the capacity to generate (all) the cell types of certain … Continue reading
What You Need to Know By Lisa Wright Stem cell supplements are here to stay – they are the way of the future. Medicine and science has come an awfully long way. Dr Oz said that in the last 12 … Continue reading
Scientists turn skin cells directly into blood cells a breakthrough method in regenerative medicine Scientists at McMaster University discovered an alternative way to make blood – all it takes is a fingernail-sized piece of skin to produce enough blood for … Continue reading
Embryogenesis is a sequential process of differential gene expression dictated by the epigenetic environment. Exploiting epigenetic influence on phenotypic outcome, biotechnology platforms are developed for reversal of differentiation to achieve genetic reprogramming of adult sources back to an embryonic state. … Continue reading
July, 2011 – LATimes.com A synthetic trachea grown from a patient’s own stem cells and seeded on a synthetic structure was transplanted into a 36-year-old man and saved his life. What is new in this synthetic trachea is the scaffold … Continue reading
Therapeutic cloning – How it is done and pros and cons Cloning is the production of one or more individual plants or animals (whole or in part) that are genetically identical to an original plant or animal. Three very different … Continue reading
Stem Cells, Regenerative Medicine, and Tissue Engineering Regenerative medicine helps natural healing processes to work faster and better. These technologies and techniques create an environment in which missing or damaged tissue that would not ordinarily regrow in fact regenerates fully. … Continue reading
