Parkinson's Cure Might Lay In The Nose

Posted: Saturday, June 07, 2008

Stem cells within the noses of patients suffering from Parkinson's disease might hold the key for a cure to the disease itself. Recent research which harvested these stem cells showed that they were capable of producing an essential, and for Parkinson's patients, lacking, chemical when injected into the brain.

Stem Cells Found In Menstrual Blood

Posted: Wednesday, April 23, 2008

Regenerative stem cell therapies are known to be a revolutionary treatment for the future, but the currently most abundant source of stem cells (embryonic) comes with a lot of controversy. Researchers may have found a much less controversial and more abundant alternative as a source for stem cells, menstrual blood.

New Stem Cell Therapies to Treat Diabetes Proposed

Posted: Thursday, March 20, 2008

Stem cell therapies have shown tremendous promise with numerous diseases (heart disease, Alzheimer's, etc...), but to date, diabetes has not been the most appropriate diseases for this form of treatment. Japanese researchers have recently tried to change this trend, making progressive proposals of how to utilize stem cells for diabetes.

Step Taken In Using Stem Cells To Treat Diabetes

Posted: Thursday, February 28, 2008

A significant new step has been taken in using embryonic stem cells to treat diabetes. Recent research has shown the ability to produce functional pancreatic cells from human embryonic stem cells.

Stem Cells Finally Found in Pancreas

Posted: Friday, February 01, 2008

An international team of researchers has finally managed to locate stem cells in the pancreas -- in mice, at least, and could pave the way for dramatic new therapies for diabetes, namely the regeneration of beta cells so the body could once again produce its own insulin.

Stem Cells Provided With a Map

Posted: Thursday, January 31, 2008

Modified stem cells that could be extremely helpful in generating bone growth can now be "guided" through the blood stream directly to the bone. This is a potentially profound advance in the field of stem cell modification.

Insulin Making Cells From Umbilical Cord Blood

Posted: Friday, June 01, 2007

Stem cells taken from the umbilical cords of newborns can be engineered to produce insulin and may some day be used to treat diabetes, US and British researchers say.

New Diabetes Research Gives Hope for Type 2s

Posted: Saturday, April 07, 2007

Clinical trials overseen by the University of Miami's Diabetes Research Center show dramatic results in treatment of Type 2 diabetes. Stem cells developed into pancreatic cells and...

Islet Function in Diabetes Improved by Stem Cell Infusion and Hyperbaric Oxygen Treatment

Stem Cells Crucial to Diabetes Cure

Posted: Saturday, April 07, 2007

A gene called neurogenin3 proved critical to inducing cells in the liver to produce insulin on a continuing basis. They found that these "islet" cells came from a small population of adult stem cells usually found near the portal vein. Only a few are needed usually because.…
