New Method to Time-Jump Human Skin Cells by 30 Years
Research from the Babraham Institute has developed a method to time-jump human skin cells by thirty years that is turning back the aging clock for cells without losing their specialized function. The researchers have been able to partly restore the function of older cells and rejuvenate the molecular measure of biological age. Overall, this research […]
Third Person with HIV Cured by Stem Cell Transplant
A breakthrough stem cell treatment has likely cured a third person of HIV. The stem cell transplant combined adult stem cells taken from a relative’s blood along with umbilical cord blood that was genetically matched from a cord blood bank. The cord blood contained genetic mutation resistant to HIV which caused the patient’s immune system […]

Stem Cell Therapy for Stroke Patients
Stem cell therapy is showing incredible potential for recovery of function after acute stroke. Stem cells are the body’s natural healing system, and when injected into muscle tissue can produce new cells to replace those destroyed by the stroke. These stem cells work by secreting enzymes that break down damaged cells and stimulate growth of […]
