Stem cells

Genome-sequencing contest renews regeneration research

Study in mice could shed light on common type of cancer in men

For the science policy positions of McCain and Obama to be meaningful, they need to be more detailed

Instead of generating new cells as expected, they cause adult cells to protect vulnerable nerve tissue from inflammation

Finding suggests that embryonic stem cell therapy could encounter the same problems organ transplants do

Colorado Rep. Diana DeGette doesn't like the Bush administration's stance on stem cells, and she's not taking it sitting down

Like many stem cell pioneers, Ian Wilmut, the creator of Dolly the sheep, has jumped to an alternative approach. Is this the beginning of the end for embryonic cloning?

The creator of Dolly the sheep has ended his focus on somatic cell nuclear transfer, or cloning, in favor of another approach to create stem cells

New studies reveal how cells exploit biochemical randomness

A dark side of stem cells--their potential to turn malignant--is at the root of a handful of cancers and may be the cause of many more. Eliminating the disease could depend on tracking down and destroying these elusive killer cells

Findings could trigger new therapies for cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis and other debilitating diseases, including the subject of the feature film Lorenzo's Oil

A route used by tumor cells to spread could be exploited to make stem cells for regenerative medicine and cancer therapies
