Damaged and aged heart tissue of older heart failure patients was rejuvenated by stem cells modified by scientists, according to new research. Damaged and aged heart tissue of older heart failure ...
For the first time, scientists have transplanted brain cancer patients' own gene-modified blood stem cells in order to protect their bone marrow against the toxic side effects of chemotherapy. Initial ...
In experiments on guinea pigs, scientists have used genetically modified human embryonic stem cells to make a biological pacemaker. The implanted tissue has kept the guinea pig hearts beating after ...
One of the biggest barriers to regenerative medicine is immunological rejection by the recipient, a problem researchers at the University of Arizona Health Sciences are one step closer to solving ...
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 ...
Metachromatic leukodystrophy (MLD) is a rare genetic disorder caused by the deficiency of arylsulfatase A (ARSA) or its activator prosaposin (PSAP). This leads to the accumulation of sulfatides in the ...
