Researchers Find Way To Assist Donor Blood Stem Cells In Overcoming Transplant Rejection
Monday, August 8th, 2011New research has shown for the first time that adult blood stem cells can be regulated to overcome an immune response that leads to transplant rejection. In the new study researchers developed a… This is a content summary only. Visit our website for full links, other content, and more! Thanks! Stem Cell Research
Researchers Discover Key Molecule for Stem Cell Pluripotency
Monday, June 6th, 2011Researchers have shown that pluripotency in mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) is directly associated with the cell-adhesion molecule E-cadherin. If E-cadherin is absent, the stem cells lose their… This is a content summary only. Visit our website for full links, other content, and more! Thanks! Stem Cell Research
Researchers Develop Platform To Monitor Hematopoietic Stem Cells
Tuesday, May 31st, 2011Researchers have developed an automated microfluidic cell culture platform to monitor the growth, survival and responses of hundreds of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) at the single cell level.

UCSF researchers identify promising new treatment for childhood leukemia
Thursday, March 31st, 2011An experimental drug lessens symptoms of a rare form of childhood leukemia and offers significant insight into the cellular development of the disease, according to findings from a new UCSF study. The mouse model research could spearhead the development of new leukemia therapies and paves the way for future clinical trials in humans. See the [...]
Researchers Eliminate Major Embryonic Stem Cell Regenerative Medicine Roadblock
Thursday, January 27th, 2011Standard culture systems for embryonic stem cells (hES) use mouse “feeder” cells and media containing bovine sera to cultivate and maintain the cells, but such animal product–based media can… This is a content summary only.
