Scientists have successfully reversed heart failure damage using engineered immune cells, offering hope to millions. The therapy reduced scarring and restored heart function in both animal and primate studies without harmful side effects.
Doctors in Buffalo are reprogramming patients' immune cells to fight autoimmune diseases the same way they fight cancer. The one-time treatment could replace lifelong medications for millions living with lupus, MS, and rheumatoid arthritis.
A therapy that fights cancer is being adapted to treat lupus, MS, and other autoimmune diseases affecting nearly one in 10 Americans. Researchers at Roswell Park aim to replace lifelong medications with a single infusion.
Groundbreaking therapies combining stem cells and immune drugs are showing real promise in helping people with type 1 diabetes produce their own insulin again. One patient has already delayed disease progression for nearly a decade.
Scientists are testing breakthrough treatments that could eliminate type 1 diabetes symptoms within the next few years. Late-stage trials of beta cell replacement therapy are showing real promise for millions living with the disease.
Babies born without vital gut nerves may soon receive a permanent cure instead of repeated surgeries. UK researchers created lab-grown stem cells that restore digestive function in just six days.
A groundbreaking immune cell therapy caused aggressive brain tumors to shrink dramatically within days in early trials. The treatment offers new hope for glioblastoma, one of the deadliest cancers with few effective options.
Babies born with Hirschsprung disease face a lifetime of surgeries because they're missing vital nerves in their digestive system. Now a UK research team has created a revolutionary stem cell therapy that could offer a permanent cure.
Blood cancer patients in Kansas can now access a one-time therapy that could replace lifelong chemotherapy cycles. The breakthrough CAR T-cell treatment genetically modifies patients' own immune cells to fight cancer.
Japan just approved the first-ever stem cell therapy that can repair hearts damaged by severe heart failure. This groundbreaking treatment could offer hope to millions of people worldwide living with life-threatening heart conditions.
Japan just greenlit two groundbreaking stem cell treatments that could restore hope for people with Parkinson's disease and severe heart failure. These are the first therapies of their kind available anywhere in the world.
A groundbreaking trial combined fetal surgery with stem cells to treat spina bifida before birth, and four-year-old Tobi can now walk. The safe results are opening doors for more families facing this once-devastating diagnosis.
Japan just became the first country to approve stem cell therapy for Parkinson's disease, offering hope to 10 million patients worldwide. The groundbreaking treatment will be available to patients this summer.
Scientists discovered that a natural molecule produced during fasting dramatically improves CAR T cell therapy against cancer in mice. Human trials are already underway to test whether this affordable supplement could help patients beat cancers that normally resist treatment.
Cancer specialists just published the first comprehensive guide to help patients thrive years after groundbreaking CAR-T cell therapy. The new roadmap tackles a crucial gap as more blood cancer patients survive longer than ever before.
A groundbreaking treatment using stem cells from mothers' placentas is giving babies with spina bifida a fighting chance at mobility and normal lives. Six families in a California trial are already celebrating remarkable results.
Japanese researchers successfully treated cerebral palsy symptoms in rats using stem cells from baby teeth, even after disabilities had already developed. Clinical trials are now underway to test this safe, ethical treatment in children.
A boy with autism who grew up unsure if he'd eat the next day now runs a global stem cell therapy network helping patients once told "there's nothing more we can do." Prof Dr Mike Chan's Malaysian facility is reversing conditions from Parkinson's to kidney failure. ---
Scientists created super-sensitive immune cells that completely eliminated kidney, ovarian, and pancreatic tumors in mice by detecting cancer cells previous treatments missed. The breakthrough could work against nearly two dozen different solid cancers.
Scientists created a breakthrough two-part treatment that restores insulin-producing cells and protects them from immune attacks, potentially freeing millions from daily insulin injections. The therapy combines lab-grown cells with engineered immune "bodyguard" cells.
