Comment now Horse Stem Cell Technique to be Tested on Humans

It's rare for veterinary medicine to lead human medicine, but race horses are a different breed. A stem cell technique that has been used to quickly repair the tendons of race horses will be tried in humans for the first time.

British biotech firm MedCell Bioscience Ltd said on Wednesday it would start clinical tests within 12 months to extract Mesenchymal adult stem cells from a patien...

Comment now Breakthrough: Australian Scientists Regrow Mice Muscle Tissue from Adult Stem Cells

Australian scientists have become the first in the world to use adult stem cells (from a donor) to regrow damaged muscle tissue (in mice), offering hope to sufferers of muscular dystrophy.

They overcame the problem of getting the donor cells to survive for more than an hour.

Comment now Final: Can't Use Animal Eggs to Clone Humans

After 10 years trying hundreds of experiments, it's final. You can't use animal eggs to produce a cloned human embryo.

Teams of scientists have used mice, cows, and rabbit eggs to no avail. Mixing human and animal cells does not appear to program the egg properly, said Dr. Robert Lanza of Massachusetts-based Advanced Cell Technology.

Comment now Breakthrough: Origin of Blood Stem Cells Discovered

The timeline of development of blood (hematopoietic) stem cells (HSCs) from the embryo to bone marrow has been proven in mice by a research team led by Nancy Speck, PhD, Professor of Cell and Developmental Biology at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine.

HSCs are found in the bone marrow of adults and generate all of the blood cell types in the body.
