Two-year-old Nate Liao has spent his young life swathed in bandages from head to toe. Nate has a rare and deadly genetic disease that prevents his skin from attaching to his body. The slightest friction against his skin, such as the rubbing of the seam from...
Byline: Peter Aldhous and Eugenie Samuel Reich Feb 20, 2007 (New Scientist - ABIX via COMTEX) -- Some of the data contained within the best-known stem cell papers in the past five years is being questioned. For example, in 2002, Catherine Verfaillie of the ...
Reports published earlier this month support the increased diversity of the non-controversial umbilical cord blood stem cell. Researchers based at Newcastle University in the United Kingdom have grown an artificial mini-liver from umbilical cord blood stem cells. In a separate study scientists at the Clinical Cell Therapy Lab at the...
BioE and University of Minnesota Extend Stem Cell Research Agreement to Further Evaluate MLPC to Treat Lung Injuries and Respiratory Disease ST. PAUL, Minn. -- BioE([R]), Inc., a biomedical company providing human umbilical cord blood stem cells as enabling, high-quality cellular tools for drug discovery and therapeutic research, announced...
ST. PAUL, Minn. -- Studies Continue to Evaluate Clinical and Therapeutic Potential of Rare Cord Blood Stem Cell to Treat Respiratory Conditions BioER, Inc., a biomedical company providing human cord blood stem cells as enabling, high-quality cellular tools for drug discovery and therapeutic research, announced today researchers at the...
ST. PAUL, Minn. -- Comparative study finds MLPC offers "exciting capabilities for tissue engineering applications"; Collaborative study proves MLPC has significant differentiation capabilities BioER, Inc., a biomedical company providing non-embryonic, human stem cells, announced today that studies conducted by researchers at the University of Newcastle upon Tyne in the...
Research published in the latest issue of the journal, "Stem Cells and Development," reveals new findings that identify a small population of cord blood cells with characteristics of more primitive cells. These primitive stem cells have the potential to produce a greater variety of cell types than was previously shown...
Aug 22, 2002 The Age ABIX via COMTEX -- A prominent US scientist says research on both adult and embryonic stem cells is necessary. The University of Minnesota's Catherine Verfaillie has made advances in researching adult stem cells, leading some Australian Government ministers to...
Jul 09, 2002 Herald Sun ABIX via COMTEX -- It was announced in the US in mid-2002 that researchers at the University of Minnesota had isolated the ultimate adult stem cell. The revelation shows that human embryos do not need to be destroyed...

Using stem cells from umbilical cord blood and bone marrow, researchers seem to have cured a fatal genetic disease in a 2-year-old Minneapolis boy, which could open the door for other stem cell treatments, the Los Angeles Times reported. For the first time in his life, Nate Lio is...
Using stem cells from umbilical cord blood and bone marrow, researchers apparently have cured a fatal genetic disease in a 2- year-old Minneapolis boy, a feat that could open the door for a variety of stem cell treatments. For the first time in his life, Nate Liao...
Pro-lifers in Minnesota turned back still another "clone and kill" proposal when pro-life Republican Gov. Tim Pawlenty vetoed a measure sponsored by two Democrats, State Rep. Phyllis Kahn and State Sen. Richard Cohen. While the veto could not be overridden because the legislative session has ended, Pawlenty took the issue...
Sponsored by: University of Minnesota. This clinical trial is studying how well combination chemotherapy followed by donor stem cell transplant works in treating young patients with epidermolysis bullosa at high risk of developing squamous cell skin cancer. Condition InterventionNonmelanomatous Drug: busulfan ...
Medicine's dream of growing new human hearts and other organs to repair or replace damaged ones received a significant boost this week when University of Minnesota researchers reported success in creating a beating rat heart in a laboratory, the New York Times reported. The work was published online in...
An organ-building biotechnology that could create transplantable hearts using stem cells from the recipients themselves has passed important laboratory tests, researchers report. The technique, called whole organ decellularization, has been used to create functioning heart tissue, according to a report in the Jan. 13 issue of Nature Medicine by a...
WASHINGTON -- The Student Society for Stem Cell Research SSSCR announced today its recognition of 9 new chapters. "SSSCR is delighted to welcome to the Pro-Cures Movement chapters at University of Illinois, College of New Jersey, Wayne State University, Medical University of South Carolina, University of Minnesota, Texas...
Byline: Peter Aldhous and Eugenie Samuel Reich Mar 28, 2007 (New Scientist - ABIX via COMTEX) -- "New Scientist" may have unearthed more duplicated data in high-profile research on adult stem cells. The suspect data is used to describe findings from different experiments...
A magazine investigation has raised new doubts about pioneering adult stem cell studies, leaving questions about the much-touted medical potential of these cells. A report in New Scientist magazine finds "apparently duplicated images being used to describe results from different experiments" in a 2006 patent obtained by University...
