Novel dual stem cell therapy improving cardiac regeneration

The findings give hope to develop a new treatment for repairing MI heart, as an alternative to the existing complex and risky heart transplant for seriously-ill patients

3D miniature livers lead the way to patient-specific drug discovery

Researchers engineered miniature livers using stem cells to model liver pathology and design patient-specific treatments

Transplanted stem cells light up and enhance stroke recovery

Transplanted stem cells containing a novel protein are activated by light or specialized molecules to promote functional and structural recovery after stroke in mice

New stem cell combination could help to repair damaged hearts

A combination of heart cells derived from human stem cells could be the answer to developing a desperately-needed treatment for heart failure, according to new research

Liver transplants could be redundant with discovery of new liver cell

Researchers have used single cell RNA sequencing to identify a type of cell that may be able to regenerate liver tissue, treating liver failure without the need for transplants

Targeting a subset of stem cells shows lasting gene editing in blood cells

A new Science Translational Medicine paper is first to report how editing a portion of stem cells with CRISPR/Cas9 is sufficient for long-term reactivation of therapeutic hemoglobin

Erectile function restored with cell therapy in preclinical model

Researchers tested the therapeutic impact of three cell types – amniotic fluid-derived stem cells, umbilical vein endothelial cells and adipose-derived stem cells — to determine the long-term therapeutic effect on erectile function recovery
