Vision loss can be a side effect from stroke. Neurons don’t regenerate, and stem cell therapy is costly, difficult, and chancy. Researchers have figured out a way to use gene therapy to recover lost vision after a stroke in a mouse model.

A groundbreaking study found that stem cells reduce the amount of virus causing AIDS, boost the body’s antiviral immunity, and restore the gut’s lymphoid follicles damaged by HIV. It provided a roadmap for multi-pronged HIV eradication strategies.

Scientists are developing a promising approach for treating type 1 diabetes by using stem cells to create insulin-producing cells (called beta cells) that could replace nonfunctional pancreatic cells.

Researchers put forward a safe and efficient new stem cell therapy for regenerating cardiac function in pediatric patients.

Minor changes in immune cells can significantly affect the immune response, scientists have now discovered. Their findings could be relevant for stem cell therapy.

Researchers have developed a stem cell therapy on myocardial infarction, using proteins that can be found in mussels, mussel adhesive proteins.

Silencing of retroviruses in the human genome is a crucial step in the production of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) from somatic cells. Researchers led by a team from the University of Tsukuba have now identified a protein that controls retrovirus silencing, allowing the production of high quality iPSCs that could be used in applications ranging from stem cell therapy and organ regeneration...
