Australia's leading children's research institute just secured $5 million in federal funding to prevent childhood diseases. The announcement came during the institute's 40th anniversary celebration, alongside news of a $200 million endowment fund.
Mount Sinai researchers made old blood stem cells behave like young ones again by repairing tiny cellular recycling centers, boosting their regenerative power eightfold. This discovery could lead to treatments that help elderly people maintain healthier immune systems and reduce risks of blood disorders.
Australia has become the first country outside the US to approve a revolutionary therapy for chronic graft-versus-host disease, a serious complication affecting nearly half of blood cancer patients who receive donor stem cell transplants. The treatment was developed from world-first research led by Australian scientists over a decade ago.
A Florida biopharmaceutical company just hit a major milestone in making regenerative medicine safer and more trustworthy. ZEO ScientifiX has now trained over 500 doctors on how to use stem cell therapies responsibly.
British researchers have developed a revolutionary therapy that grows missing gut nerves from stem cells in just six days, offering hope for newborns with a life-threatening digestive disease. The breakthrough could end the need for repeated surgeries that many children currently face.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
Researchers are developing a groundbreaking therapy that could free 1.5 million Americans from daily insulin injections by combining lab-grown insulin cells with immune system "bodyguards." The $1 million project aims to create a cure that works without harsh immunosuppressive drugs.
A groundbreaking stem cell treatment helped frail older adults walk significantly farther, offering the first biological therapy for a condition that affects 1 in 4 people over 65. The single infusion improved mobility without serious side effects, opening new doors for aging well.
Doctors are implanting specially engineered stem cells directly into the brains of Parkinson's patients, hoping to restore dopamine production and reverse the disease's devastating symptoms. The breakthrough trial could transform treatment for over one million Americans living with the progressive disorder.
Chinese scientists used stem cell therapy to completely reverse type 2 diabetes in a patient for the first time ever. The breakthrough treatment eliminated the patient's need for insulin injections by regrowing healthy pancreatic cells.
