Stem Cell Research Paves Way For Progress On Dealing With Fragile X Retardation
Researchers at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem have achieved, for the first time, the generation of neuronal cells from stem cells of Fragile X patients. The discovery paves the way for research that will examine restoration of normal gene expression in Fragile X patients. Fragile X syndrome is the most ...
Stem-cell-growing surface enables bone repair
(University of Michigan) University of Michigan researchers have proven that a special surface, free of biological contaminants, allows adult-derived stem cells to thrive and transform into multiple cell types. Their success brings stem cell therapies another step closer.
Prochymal – First Stem Cell Drug Approved
For the first time in history a stem cell drug has been approved for market authorization. Prochymal® (remestemcel-L) is also the first drug to be approved for the treatment of acute graft-vs-host disease (GvHD) in children, a devastating complication of bone marrow transplantation that kills almost 80% of all ...

Discovered a new checkpoint of cell cycle control through joint action of 2 proteins
Alterations in the formation of ribosomes (the elements of the cell where proteins are made) cause the induction of p53 protein and cell cycle disruption. This process is crucial to understand fundamental biological processes and the emergence of various diseases. Now, scientists at the Bellvitge Biomedical Research Institute (IDIBELL) have ...
GE Healthcare, KUH partner to drive advances in cell therapy technologies
Karolinska University Hospital Sweden and GE Healthcare Life Sciences today announced a joint research collaboration to drive advances in technologies and workflows for use in the rapidly emerging field of cell therapy.

Researchers Identify New Key Mechanism In Cell Division
Researchers from the Bellvitge Biomedical Research Institute (IDIBELL) have identified the mechanism by which protein Zds1 regulates a key function in mitosis, the process that occurs immediately before cell division. The result has been achieved in the online edition of the Journal of Cell Science and opens the door to ...
T cell imbalance increases risk for gastrointestinal infection recurrence
(University of Cincinnati Academic Health Center) University of Cincinnati (UC) researchers have found that an imbalance in the regulation of certain T cells -- the cells in the body that fight off infection or attack the system in certain autoimmune diseases -- may put certain people at a higher risk ...
World’s First Stem Cell Drug From Osiris : Approved!
There is great news for parents suffering the harrowing ordeal of their child needing a bone marrow transplant. The announcement came from Osiris Therapeutics Inc. (NASDAQ: OSIR) on Friday that Health Canada has approved its groundbreaking stem cell therapy Prochymal® (remestemcel-L). The drug can be used to treat children with ...
