Adult stem cells are undifferentiated cells found throughout the body that divide to replenish dying cells and regenerate damaged tissues. Also known as somatic stem cells, they can be found in ...

Adult stem cells are a promising market Amid controversies over embryonic stem cell research, drugs using adult cells are already bearing fruit.

Adult stem cells, and not embryonic stem cells, are what all scientists in this field of research should be working on, says Dr. Peter Hollands. A renowned clinical scientist and researcher at the ...

A few months ago, Dr. Thomas Einhorn was treating a patient with a broken ankle that wouldn't heal, even with multiple surgeries. So he sought help from the man's own body.

Evidence of such an adult somatic stem cell has been provided recently by Jiang et al., 73 who isolated multipotent adult progenitor cells from bone marrow–derived cultured cells; the progenitor ...

Cell therapy, involving adult stem cells from bone marrow, has been shown to reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke in severe heart failure patients, according to a new study.

A new method of adult stem cell growth has demonstrated its efficacy for its capacity to grow cornea stem cells. The scientists demonstrated applying the growth technique in treating diseases of ...

Stem cells can turn into virtually any cell in the body New research upends dogma that once a cell matures%2C it can never go back to a less mature state Advance is a first step%3B many questions ...

TOM BEARDEN: This is the cutting edge of adult stem cell research — an operating room in Brazil, where doctors recently tried to use the stem cells of human patients to repair their damaged hearts.

Like hundreds of other stem-cell scientists, they had been intrigued and energized by the 2007 discovery that adult cells can be regressed back to an embryonic state simply by inserting four genes ...

Those are stem cells typically taken from bone marrow and blood not embryos. But it's an example of many innovative therapies doctors are studying with adult stem cells.
