Stem cell injections for AMD showing promise – Stem cell injections may soon be able to slow or reverse the damage caused by age-related macular degeneration (AMD), according to new research in the US. “If tumors do not emerge, and cellular debri clean-up also ameliorates the human disease, then this report is a very intriguing prospect
Stem Cell Specialization Observed in the Brain “Very cool studies! Smell neurons focused, but highly significant general implications for therapeutic brain research based on tissue stem cell turnover kinetics, cellular and migratory. #StemCellResearch #AdultStemCells ” Asymmetrex – April 27, 2015 Article by Science Daily Adult stem cells are flexible and can transform themselves into a
Parkinson’s Possible Progress, Stem Cells – Harvard Stem Cell Institute (HSCI) researchers at University-affiliated McLean Hospital have taken what they describe as an important step toward using the implantation of stem cell-generated neurons as a treatment for Parkinson’s disease. No doubt an exciting prospect, but also a potentially dangerous one for transplant recipients. Human brains may
Stem Cell Test May Identify Aggressive Breast Cancers – Testing breast cancer cells for how closely they resemble stem cells could identify women with the most aggressive disease, a new study suggests. “Intriguing observation, which is also consistent with the hypothesis that cancer stem cells are lineage-related to normal adult tissue stem cells.” Asymmetrex –
Boosting A Natural Protection Against Alzheimer’s – Combining investigational therapy with gene variant may reduce dangers from debilitating brain plaques. “Now this is playing iPSC technology to its strength; but vigilance is still in order to make sure gene mutations and epigenetic changes are not responsible for the observations.” Asymmetrex – April 9, 2015 UC
