Inorganic nanoscaffold for stem cell therapy
Rutgers’s engineers have created a biodegradable, inorganic hybrid (BHI) scaffold that can deliver stem cells, [MORE]
Slice of brain organoid
UCSD neuroscientists have grown stem cells into tissue resembling the brain’s cortex. Further, those “organoids” display EEG [MORE]

Last October, Japanese neuroscientists implanted induced pluripotent stem cells into a Parkinson’s patient. As described: “Kyoto University stem cell researcher [MORE]
Osteoarthritis in knees
This might be an arguable point—that regenerative medicine is the medical defining point of the early 21st century. [MORE]
Platelets grown from stem cells
Human donors supply some 4.5 million platelet units worldwide each year. Shortages exist because donated platelets [MORE]
Bone structure from human skeletal stem cells
Stanford University scientists have discovered true human skeletal stem cells for the first time. [MORE]

Biomedical engineers at the University of Utah have shown how to use [MORE]
Bio-Pen for cartilage repair
Australian bioengineers have built a device called “the BioPen,” which extrudes a hydrogel material infused with fat-derived [MORE]
Speeding up stem cell growth
Before stem cell therapies can become more robust, cell culture has to be finely tuned so [MORE]
Regrowing dental tissue with stem cells from baby teeth
In another advance for stem cell therapy, dental scientists have extracted human [MORE]
Stem cell derived liver cells
Five years ago, researchers reported success in growing liver “buds” (organoids) from stem cells, and three [MORE]
Stem cell loaded hydrogel
Though the term “hydrogel” originated in the late 19th century, its modern definition as a hydrophilic crosslinked [MORE]
