BARCELONA, Spain, Nov. 19 (UPI) -- The first successful human windpipe transplant using the patient's stem cells was completed in Spain, physicians at four European universities announced.
SALT LAKE CITY, Nov. 18 (UPI) -- U.S. researchers say they are seeking people for a trial to test the safety of using patients' own stem cells to repair their damaged hearts.
MADISON, Wis., Nov. 6 (UPI) -- Stem cell researchers say immense progress has been made in the decade since human cells were first isolated and grown by U.S. scientists.
EDINBURGH, Scotland, Nov. 4 (UPI) -- Researchers at Edinburgh University in Scotland are working on ways to use embryonic stem cells in treatments for Parkinson's Disease.
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Oct. 31 (UPI) -- Stem cells greatly improve their therapeutic effectiveness in replacing damaged tissue when a molecule is added to their surface, U.S. researchers said Friday.
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Sept. 27 (UPI) -- Scientists say they might have found an alternative to embryonic stem cells that would allow them to exit an ethics debate over using discarded embryos.
PITTSBURGH, Sept. 22 (UPI) -- U.S. medical scientists said they have identified a source of adult stem cells on the walls of blood vessels.
STANFORD, Calif., Sept. 22 (UPI) -- U.S. scientists say they're the first to confirm that so-called satellite cells in muscle fibers harbor a stem cell that can repair skeletal muscle in mice.
CHAPEL HILL, N.C., Sept. 18 (UPI) -- U.S. researchers say they have transformed cells from human skin into cells that produce insulin -- the hormone used to treat diabetes.
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Aug. 13 (UPI) -- U.S. scientists say they've discovered how microRNA molecules are activated -- an event that is critical for the creation of embryonic stem cells.
BALTIMORE, July 22 (UPI) -- Notch protein in human embryonic stem cells helps cells "decide" their own fate, which may be useful in stem cell therapy development, U.S. researchers said.
BOSTON, July 11 (UPI) -- Transplanted muscle stem cells can improve muscle function in animals with a form of muscular dystrophy, Boston researchers said.
ST. LOUIS, July 8 (UPI) -- U.S. researchers have shown mouse embryonic stem cells can build the heart, thereby moving science closer to heart disease treatments using human stem cells.
