Liver Stem Cells Creation Simplified
Liver Stem Cells
Scientists in Bath have discovered an easier way of producing precursor liver cells from stem cells, which is able to be applied to test new medicines.
Professor Melanie Welham said the new way of developing the liver cells should reduce the cost of the procedure.
“This will allow the scale on which precursor liver cells are created to be more easily increased,” she said.
Research nevertheless needs to be done to create fully operational liver cells.

Joint Repair With Adult Stem Cells
New research shows that a patients’ own adult stem cells display wonderful possibilities in regenerative medicine, including orthopedic applications. Stem cells isolated, or released, from bone marrow can enable bone as well as cartilage to heal.
As soon as removed, the patients’ cells are processed as well as allowed to multiply in tissue culture. Then they will injected back again into the knee joint of the same patient. The meniscus of the knee can stay repaired, despite its bad blood

Can Your Own Stem Cells Heal Your Running Injuries?
A recent Wired article discussed NY Yankees pitcher, Bartolo Colon, and his resurgence as a Major League powerhouse after injury and age had taken a toll on Colon’s right shoulder. The 38-year old is back, Wired reports, because he underwent an experimental procedure in his home country of the Dominican Republic during which “fat and bone-marrow stem cells were extracted from Colon and then re-injected into his elbow and shoulder, a move designed to help regenerate and repair

Adult Stem Cells To Fight Diabetes
Doctors believe they are getting closer to a cure that could dramatically change the lives of people with Type I Diabetes.
In patients with Type I Diabetes the body thinks the pancreas is a foreign invader, so it starts to destroy the organ’s islet cells. Those are the cells that produce insulin.
Now researchers at Georgetown University Medical Center are trying to create islets from adult stem cells so that they can be transplanted back into the patient, eliminating the need for

Pluripotent Adult Stem Cells Power Planarian Regeneration
(Media-Newswire.com) - Ever since animals, such as lizards and starfish, were observed regenerating missing body parts, people have wondered where the new tissues come from. In the case of the planarian flatworm, Whitehead Institute researchers have determined that the source of this animal’s extraordinary regenerative powers is a single, pluripotent cell type.
Most advanced animals, including mammals, have a system of specialized stem cells. In humans, we have blood stem cells in
