Stem Cell Research

New embryonic stem cell therapy is being developed for Parkinson’s disease and other neuro-muscular problems. Nonetheless, this is a huge step for regenerative medicine, embryonic stem cell research and science in general. Neurological diseases such as spinal cord injury and Parkinson’s disease are likely to be among the first disorders in which embryonic stem cell [...]

Human embryonic stem cell therapy is a huge step for regenerative medicine, embryonic stem cell research, spinal cord and brain injury therapy and science in general. It is being tried on a human for the first time in a new clinical trial. This is the first clinical trial of its kind in the world. The [...]

The four types of stem cells are embryonic stem cells, umbilical stem cells, fetal stem cells and adult stem cells. Embryonic stem cells are cells obtained from a human embryo. They have the ability to form virtually any type of cell found in the human body. Umbilical stem cells are taken from an umbilical cord [...]

There are many different types of stem cells, each with very different potential to treat disease. The cells can divide to form cells that go on to develop into mature tissue types such as liver, lungs, brain, or skin. Embryonic stem cell – They exist only at the earliest stages of embryonic development and go [...]

There are three major types of stem cells used in clinical research. The first are embryonic stem cells (ESCs). They have the greatest capacity for growth and differentiation which makes them very attractive for basic scientists. They are derived from embryos that develop from eggs that have been fertilized in vitro, in an in vitro [...]
