Dana-Farber Cancer Institute Continues to Make Strides in Bone Marrow Transplant Research - Jimmy Fund - NESN.com

nesn.com — “The thought of the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute usually conjures up thoughts and images of the Jimmy Fund and all of the work it does for cancer-stricken children. However, as modern medicine continues to evolve, Dana-Farber is beginning to be able to help older and older patients. Dr. Robert Soiffer, the chief of Dana-Farber's hematologic malignancies, sat down with Tom Caron on Thursday. Dr. Soiffer talked about the advances that continue to be made in regards to bone marrow/stem cell tranView full resource at nesn.com

All Pumped Up: Can Stem Cells Fix Human Hearts? : NPR

npr.org — “Regenerating functioning heart cells has been a goal of medicine for more than a century. There are stem cells in our hearts that regenerate heart tissue — they just do it at a glacial pace, not nearly fast enough to make repairs in the event of an injury. Now, scientists are trying to juice up those cells so they can repair damage caused by heart attacks.View full resource at npr.org

Progenitor Cells Could Play Key Role In Hair Loss Prevention, Cure | Hair Transplant Blog | Bernstein Medical - Center for Hair Restoration

bernsteinmedical.com — “In the March/April 2011 issue of Hair Transplant Forum International we see a review of research on stem cells and progenitor cells, and another indication of how important this research is to the community of hair restoration physicians. The bottom line: it is the decreased conversion of stem cells into progenitor cells that causes hair follicle miniaturization, and thus common genetic baldness. Read more about this exciting line of research.View full resource at bernsteinmedical.com

Court: Stem Cell Funds Can Continue For Now : NPR

npr.org — “The ruling makes permanent, pending an appeal, the overturning of an injunction imposed last month by a lower court judge. The judge ordered a halt to embryonic stem cell research while he considered a lawsuit filed by two scientists. The Obama administration said even a temporary halt to the research could set back promising science.View full resource at npr.org

Human ES cells progress slowly in myelin's direction

eurekalert.org — “Scientists from Wisconsin University have successfully created, from human embryonic stem (ES) cells, cells that can make myelin, opening up new possibilities for basic and clinical research. Myelin loss, as occurs in multiple sclerosis, stops nerves from working with devastating consequences. Reporting their findings in the journal Development, they reveal that creating these cells has long been a challenge partly because they take an unexpectedly long time to develop from human ES cells.View full resource at eurekalert.org
