Copper-touch surfaces could help prevent antibiotic resistance genes from spreading, researchers explained at the ICPIC (International Conference on Prevention and Infection Control), Geneva, Switzerland. They explained the mechanisms by which copper undermines antibiotic resistance in...

Researchers at UCLA have identified a new stem cell that participates in the repair of the large airways of the lungs, which play a vital role in protecting the body from infectious agents and toxins in the environment. The airways protect the body by producing and clearing mucus from the...

New research says studying both adult and embryonic stem cells can benefit medical science, but banning the study of either type could harm studies of the other. Researchers from the University of Michigan, Stanford University and the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn. recently investigated whether...

Millions of people with knee injuries could benefit from a new type of stem cell bandage treatment if clinical trials are successful. The world's first clinical trial for the treatment of patients with torn meniscal cartilage has received approval from the UK regulatory agency, the MHRA1, to...

Patients' own adult stem cells show great potential in regenerative medicine, including orthopedic applications. Stem cells isolated from bone marrow can enable bone and cartilage to heal. Once removed, the patients' cells are processed and allowed to multiply in tissue culture. Then they are...

Stem cell research began with a goal of being able to cure persons based on their own unique genetic make-up and healing inefficiencies by using harvested cells. This week, a federal appeals court said the Obama led federal government can continue to fund research involving human embryonic stem...

Are there even religions that support stem cell research? Any religions will help, even a minor one.

The journal Stem Cells has announced Dr. Cinzia Rota as the winner of the annual Stem Cells Young Investigator Award. Co-sponsored by the International Stem Cell Symposium, the $10,000 prize is annually given to a young scientist who is the principal author of a research paper published in Stem...

I need a gripping introduction for a speech I'm giving on Embryonic Stem Cells. I'm part of a symposium and my portion is specifically embryonic stem cells. My intro has to be 'grabbing' and able to obtain a college classes attention. Any ideas?

Public Health Minister, Anne Milton MP, has officially opened the Health Protection Agency's new £12m Influenza Resource Centre and UK Stem Cell Bank, at the agency's National Institute of Biological Standards and Control (NIBSC) in Hertfordshire. The new laboratory development is a unique...

The Genetics Policy Institute (GPI) has submitted an amicus curiae ("friend of the court") brief in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, supporting federal funding for embryonic stem cell research. The plaintiffs in the Sherley suit are trying to stop the government...

Scientists funded by the Medical Research Council (MRC) are pioneering a stem cell treatment to replace diseased parts of the retina, which could lead to a future treatment for retinal diseases that affect around 3,000 children in the UK. The researchers from UCL Institute of Child Health and...
