Company that plans to bring back the mammoth takes a key step

DNA editing and stem cells used to restore extinct species like the thylacine and dodo.
Colossal faces practical hurdles, like the slow reproductive biology of mammoths' closest living relatives.

Stem cells reverse woman's diabetes - a world first

Reprogrammed stem cells from patients' bodies can reverse diabetes, exemplified by a woman who started producing insulin post-transplant.

Chinese scientists create Frankenstein robot that has a HUMAN BRAIN

Scientists created a robot with a lab-grown brain that functions similarly to a human brain, offering potential solutions for neurological disorders.

Scientists Use Human Stem Cells to Restore a Monkey's Vision

Stem cells can effectively patch a monkey's retinal hole, suggesting a promising treatment for age-related vision loss.

Bone Marrow Donors Can Be Hard to Find. One Company Is Turning to Cadavers

Ossium Health is pioneering stem cell transplants from deceased donors, addressing the donor shortage for blood cancer patients, particularly minorities.

Scientists Successfully Tested a New Treatment for Type 1 Diabetes

Stem cells, particularly reprogrammed fat cells, show promise for treating type 1 diabetes, reducing the need for insulin after treatment.

Hope for MS sufferers as doctors 'cautiously very excited' about stem cell therapy in brain

Scientists have discovered a groundbreaking treatment for multiple sclerosis (MS) that could stop its progression.
Stem cell injections in the brain of patients with secondary MS showed no worsening of the illness a year later.
The stem cell transplant reduced inflammation and may stabilize disability progression in MS patients.

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.

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.

MS breakthrough could lead to treatments that halt disease's progression

Injecting stem cells into the brains of patients with progressive MS could potentially stop the disease advancing.
The procedure was found to be safe, well tolerated, and had a long-lasting effect that protected the brain from further damage.
This study provides hope for the development of a cell therapy for treating MS.
