Stem Cell Therapy Restores Injured Tendons to Full Health in Study

Tendon injuries in sheep that were treated with stem cell grafts achieved, in just two months, a diameter and hardness similar to the original healthy tendon, according to the results of a study released in STEM CELLS Translational Medicine.  These findings suggest...

Stem Cells Heal, But Could Also Hurt. Here’s How

The same stem cells that heal broken bones can also generate arthritic bone spurs called osteophytes, according to USC researchers. Their study is published in the Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases. “Although these stem and progenitor cells promote healthy bone...

Neural Stem Cells ID'd as Potential Post-Stroke Motor Recovery Aid

A specific line of human neural stem cells shows potential for helping recover motor function in those who suffer a hemiparetic stroke. Results from the study were published recently in STEM CELLS Translational Medicine.NSI-566 human neural stem cells were implanted...
