In the lab, the blood will be tested for certain DNA changes that could suggest the presence of cancer or pre-cancer cells ... All it takes is a simple blood draw. Once you receive your results ...

The ability to reprogram cancer cells into stem-like cells using a hydrogel marks a monumental step in cancer research and ...

Scientists at the University of California, Riverside, have discovered how adult stem cells retain their regenerative power.

A new study has identified a novel strategy for treating acute myelogenous leukemia (AML), an aggressive blood cancer for which the median survival time following diagnosis remains just 8.5 months.

The researchers describe the molecular mechanisms by which combination therapy re-wires gene-expression programs to suppress the stem cell-like traits of leukemic cells that drive the cancer and ...

Both studies, which are reporting the results of early-stage clinical trials, show that the interventions were safe, and that ...

The studies, published April 16 in Nature, represent early steps for stem cell therapies that aim to replace these dead cells in the brain — and stop Parkinson’s and the movement problems ...

A multidisciplinary clinical team led by Professor Bernat Soria from the Institute of Bioengineering at the Miguel Hernández ...

Scientists could reshape cancer treatment by helping powerful drugs work better in the body by exploiting a surface protein called CD36 that helps pull substances into cells. This dramatically ...

Some tumors contain low frequencies of cancer stem-like cells (CSCs), whereas other tumors exhibit high CSC frequencies. Biological heterogeneity and plasticity of CSCs may exist within tumors.

Two hotly anticipated clinical trials using stem cells ... Kettering Cancer Center in New York City who conducted the US surgeries. Five individuals received a dose of 0.9 million cells and ...

A multidisciplinary clinical team led by Professor Bernat Soria from the Institute of Bioengineering at the Miguel Hernández University of Elche (UMH, Spain) has developed a new method to deliver cell ...
