ADULT CELLS, STEM CELLS & CANCER by David Granovsky Posted Mon 19 Sep 2011 12:00am by telling you ‘adult stem cells‘ may fight cancer…. but later in the article refer to them as ‘adult cells…’ and even later as ‘induced pluripotent stem cells.’ But don’t be fooled by this semantic sleight of hand. Induced pluripotent stem cells are semantically ‘adult cells’ only in the sense that in an adult can be referred to as adult cells Read on »

First We Had Spray On Stem Cells and Now The Stem Cell Skin Gun for Wound Care Speeds Healing- Regenerative Medicine by Medical Quack Patient Expert

Posted Fri 04 Feb 2011 11:00am Regenerative medicine is moving so fast as it was just 2 months ago I posted about an up and coming trial to where a patient’s own stem cells from their bone marrow is being sprayed. The video here shows a man who was burned quite badly and when you see how the skin looked in about 4 days, this amazing. I think stem cells are the future Read on »

UCLA scientists report metabolic state of brain cancer stem cells significantly different than the cancer cells they create: by Cancer.gov Posted Sat 10 Sep 2011 10:13pm UCLA scientists report metabolic state of brain cancer stem cells significantly different than the cancer cells they create: NCI Cancer Center News The metabolic state of glioma stem cells, which give rise to deadly glioblastomas, is significantly different from that of the brain cancer cells to which they give birth, a factor which helps Read on »

Turning Ordinary Cells into Stem Cells by Northcoast Footcare Facebook

Posted Wed 04 Nov 2009 10:06pm Stem cells are the body’s master cells and have the amazing capability of developing into various types of cells. They can be induced to become specific types of tissues or organs and are able to renew themselves through cell division. These features make stem cells quite remarkable and different from other types Continue Reading » Social Read on »

Abstract from journal Cell on stem cells by Dr. Brian M. Medical Doctor

Posted Tue 26 Aug 2008 11:36pm in Cell: "Successful reprogramming of differentiated human somatic cells into a pluripotent state would allow creation of patient- and disease-specific stem cells. We previously reported generation of induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells, capable of germline transmission, from mouse somatic cells by transduction of four defined transcription Read on »

Progress Seen in Creating Eye Cells From Stem Cells by HealthFinder Posted Thu 24 Mar 2011 1:00pm THURSDAY, March 24 (HealthDay News) -- To push the theoretical promise of stem cell research into the world of viable treatments, scientists have successfully fashioned adult stem cells into the kind of eye cells that fall victim to the onset of age-related macular degeneration, or AMD. The work did not involve embryonic stem cells, which have been Read on »

Stem cells “seek and destroy” cancer cells: Study by David Granovsky Posted Sun 14 Feb 2010 10:09pm Stem cells “seek and destroy” cancer cells: Study BY JULIE STEENHUYSEN, REUTERS CHICAGO (Reuters) – Genetically engineered stem cells from bone... showed the adult stem cells — a type known as mesenchymal stem cells — could home in on cancer cells and deliver a lethal protein that attacked only the cancer while sparing normal Read on »

Adult Stem Cells Also May be Cell Of Origin for Lung Cancer–UCLA Study by Medical Quack Patient Expert

Posted Tue 17 Aug 2010 6:35am The tests are indicating that many if not all cancers are caused by stem cells and if so they could be used as markers for more aggressive treatments for those patients who have cancerous stem cells. UCLA's Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center has more than 240 researchers and clinicians engaged in disease research, prevention, detection Read on »

Stem cells 'seek and destroy' cancer cells by Stem Cells Malaysia Patient Expert

Posted Wed 10 Jun 2009 6:46pm Genetically engineered stem cells from bone marrow showed promise as a potential new way to deliver a cancer-killing protein to tumors. Experiments in cell cultures and in mice showed the adult stem cells -- a type known as mesenchymal stem cells -- could home in on cancer cells and deliver a lethal protein that attacked only the cancer while Read on »

NCRI conference: stem cells – the future of cancer research? by Cancer Research UK Patient Expert

Posted Fri 12 Nov 2010 12:00am them to accurately identify and understand the cells at the heart of leukaemia. Do stem cells play a role in ovarian cancer? Lastly the discussion moved to ovarian cancer...-initiating cells, or ‘TICs’ – cells that can kick-start ovarian cancer. It’s not clear if these are true cancer stem cells or ‘stem-like’ cells, but either way they play a key role Read on »
