Bogota: Researchers have found that a technique using umbilical cord blood stem cells could be a promising new approach for repair of cleft palate in infants. Performed as part of reconstructive surgery when the infant is a few months old, the stem cell procedure provides good results in growing new bone to close the upper […]

Washington: The US biologists found that a 24-hour fast can reverse the age-related loss of intestinal stem cell function that can regenerate new intestinal cells. The study, published on Thursday in the journal Cell Stem Cell, revealed that fasting dramatically improves stem cells’ ability to regenerate, in both aged and young mice, Xinhua reported. In […]

London: Scientists from the University of Copenhagen have identified a mechanism that explains how some stem cells become organs such as liver and pancreas. The findings could lead scientists to generate insulin-producing cells in the laboratory to use as a therapy for Type-1 diabetes. Scientists led by Henrik Semb from the DanStem Center at the […]
