The cell produces nerve cells that help form the neocortex – the location of higher cognitive function, the analysts say. Future studies of these cells are predicted to dump light on development [...]

Continued attempts to research and develop embryonic stem cell treatments and procedures doesn’t simply mean cloning humans or involve ethical and moral controversies or issues surrounding such research. Millions of cells found in the body can and are being developed for future medicinal treatments.
Stem cells contain precise instructions on [...]

Stem cells and stem cell treatment have received plenty of stories coverage recently, some of it questionable, so this month I have made a decision to debate stem cells generally, together with several approaches to stem cell treatment. The stem cell treatments I advocate are both legal and [...]

Cerebral Palsy, loosely translated as brain paralysis is a condition which when effects the human brain leads to disorders affecting body movement, balance, and posture. Any harm to either one or several parts of the brain which are responsible towards controlling muscle tone and motor activity results in cerebral palsy.
This condition generally affects infants and [...]

Cord blood stem cells, are one of a grouping of cells called hematopoietic stem cells that may be used to treat many illnesses. Twine blood stem cells aren’t the same as embryonic stem cells, which there’s rather a lot of argument now surrounding research using these sorts of cells. Cord blood stems cells are able [...]
