Researchers from Japan created embryonic stem cells without embryo

After the discovery of human embryonic stem cells, scientists are hopeful for their use in curing various diseases. As these cells are pluripotent that means they can differentiate into many types of cells in body. However, obtaining embryonic stem cells from human embryo can damage or destroy the embryo. Consequently, raising ethical issue. Researchers in …

University of Vermont created Xenobots from stem cells

Stem Cells / By ramsha

What are Xenobots? Last year, a team of computer scientists and biologists from Tufts university and University of Vermont (UVM) created unique, small robots from frogs. The Xenobots are made from the stem cells of an African clawed frog called Xenopus laevis. The cells have tiny little hair like projections called cilia that helps them …

Treating skin problems without surgery by stem cells

Stem Cells / By ramsha

Latest study revealed that we can get rid of skin problems such as acne scars, hyperpigmentation from sun or wounds and wrinkles without requiring surgery. By increasing individual’s own stem cells we can overcome this problem. A group of doctors from the Cosmetic Acupuncture Academy in the United States, conducted the research. The results were …

Skin Stem Cells and their Repair Mechanism

Stem Cells / By ramsha

Skin is an essential tissue in our bodies. It protects us form infection and dehydration. It also allows us to feel different things like heat. So, our skin needs to be renewed continuously throughout our lives. For that it depends on different stem cells present in our body. There are two main characteristic of stem …

Does stem cell transplant bring changes in DNA ?

Stem Cells / By ramsha

According to a new study, stem cells do not cause changes in DNA of the donor cells. Researchers also found proof that changes in DNA maybe caused by antivirus drugs. Also in some cases, the drugs might lead to cancer formation. Hence, much more research is now needed for further study. Stem cell transplant is …

Using laser light to transform Adult stem cells rapidly

Stem Cells / By ramsha

Stem cell therapy require many specific types of human cells. Researchers from University of Johannesburg (UJ) discovered that shining two light beams (near-infrared and green laser) transform adult stem cells rapidly. Flashing a near-infrared laser on adult stem cells obtain from human body fat replicate stem cells 54% faster. Following that with green laser, the …

Stem cell therapy and hip replacement surgery

Stem Cells / By ramsha

More than 20000 American suffer from Osteonecrosis each year. As the condition progresses, bone cells cannot repair themselves and cannot sustain bone integrity, and in the end die. Thus, bone decay leads to reduce blood flow to that area, further weakening the entire upper leg skeletal structure. If not treated, ball portion of hip’s ball …

A new method of Stem Cell Transplant for Blood Cancer

Stem Cells / By ramsha

For lymphoma, leukemia and other hard to treat blood cancers, stem cell transplant most efficient method. The process involves replacing patient’s blood-forming stem cells with donor’s stem cells. Therefore, destroying cancer cells in blood, lymph nodes and bone marrow. Hence, researchers have found a new method to safer stem cell transplant for blood cancer. Many …

Stem cell therapy for rare liver disease

Stem Cells / By ramsha

Researchers at Sanford Burnham Prebys discovered stem cell therapy for rare liver disease. They found the new source of stem cells just outside liver that could help cure people with Alagille syndrome. Alagille syndrome is a rare liver disease. It is chronic genetic disorder in which bile ducts of the liver are absent. Hence, leading …

Using stem cells to make pancreatic beta cells

Stem Cells / By ramsha

Human Body is likely to attack its own cell, genetically in a condition called Type 1 Diabetes. In diabetes, body destroys beta cells in pancreas that make insulin. Insulin is important to body because it helps to convert sugar into energy. This disorder can occur at any age. Therefore, if not treated carefully with insulin …
