In an advance for treating male infertility, researchers transplanted a patient with his own sperm-forming stem cells that ...

Researchers have performed the first known transplant of sperm-producing stem cells in hopes of restoring fertility in a man ...

What Is Cord Blood Banking? Cord blood banking is a process of collecting potentially life-saving stem cells from the umbilical cord and placenta and storing them for future use. Stem cells are ...

The Stem Cell Core provides access to a streamlined, IRB-approved consenting process for acquisition of patient samples and generation of pluripotent stem cells and stem cell-derivatives for basic and ...

Mesenchymal stem cells are multipotent adult stem cells that are present in multiple tissues, including umbilical cord, bone marrow and fat tissue. Mesenchymal stem cells can self-renew by ...

How are induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells different from embryonic stem (ES) cells? What can we use iPS cells for? ES cells were originally derived from the inner cell mass (ICM) or epiblast of ...

The next frontier of stem cell transplantation might involve the eyes. In research out today, scientists report that an experimental therapy has helped people with otherwise untreatable injuries ...

The study evaluated 14 patients that were treated with cultivated autologous limbal epithelial cells (CALEC) and followed ...

If cells are removed from the embryo they will differentiate into any cell type. These are called embryonic stem cells. Some stem cells remain in the bodies of adults as adult stem cells.

Since then, these stem cells have been studied and used for various applications, including neurological disorders, osteoarthritis, pain therapy, and wound healing," says Dr. Ramaut.
