Newly discovered stem cell offers clues to a cancer mystery
Scientists have discovered a new type of stem cell in the spine that may explain why more cancer cells spread to the spine than other bones in the body.
The discovery of these vertebral skeletal stem cells could have implications for cancer treatment, spine fusion surgery, and osteoporosis.
The cells make a protein that is a signal to tumor cells, raising new treatment possibilities. [ more ]
Doctors encouraged by early-stage trial of MS stem cell therapy
Injecting stem cells into the brains of multiple sclerosis patients was found to be safe and potentially protective against further damage from the disease.
The therapy reduced inflammation and may have a long-lasting, beneficial impact on patients with secondary progressive MS.
Further research is needed to determine the full potential of this treatment for multiple sclerosis. [ more ]
