Researchers presented data indicating that treatment of mice that suffer from corneal scarring with stem cells derived from human umbilical cords leads to preservation of vision.
Stem cells were created from the skin of patients with these diseases and then the stem cells were made into disease-specific neurons by treatment with growth factors.
From the medical journal PloS ONE, scientists from the University of California Los Angeles reported that human blood cells derived from adult stem cells can be engineered into cells that can target and kill HIV-infected cells.
Doctors at the University of Texas Medical School at Houston have announced initiation of an efficacy-finding study in the area of heart failure using a "universal donor" stem cell product called "Prochymal".
The Cleveland Clinic has received a $2.75 million federal grant from the Department of Defense. The study will investigate patients with relapse-remitting MS that are still able to walk but have moderate to severe disability.
A French team of scientists created human skin from stem cells and demonstrated that the skin was functional by placing it on the back of a mouse that was lacking an immune system (so to avoid rejection).
