One of the biggest barriers to regenerative medicine is immunological rejection by the recipient, a problem researchers are one step closer to solving after genetically modifying pluripotent stem ...

Researchers at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital have overcome two major technical obstacles that currently limit the success of gene therapy for human red blood cell diseases such as ...

Every 40 seconds, someone in the United States has a stroke. For survivors of the most common type of stroke, called an ischemic stroke, only about 5 percent fully recover. Most others suffer from ...

While new tools have emerged to help rehabilitation along, the road back to a healthy life after suffering a stroke can be a long and challenging one. In research that could one day significantly cut ...

A genetic modification has been discovered that protects mice against cancer and allows them to live up to 20 per cent longer. The discovery is especially promising as the benefits can be transferred ...

A team of scientists—including Agnieszka Ciesielska (left), Barbara Klein (center), and Jeanne Paz (right)—showed that modified stem cells can improve brain activity, even when administered more than ...

LA JOLLA-The ability to switch out one gene for another in a line of living stem cells has only crossed from science fiction to reality within this decade. As with any new technology, it brings with ...

Cancer scientists have been working against the clock for decades to outsmart a disease that comes back more powerfully after treatment. Traditional treatments like chemotherapy, radiation, and even ...

Genetically modified stem and progenitor cells have emerged as a promising regenerative platform in the treatment of genetic and degenerative disorders, highlighted by their successful therapeutic use ...
