The Missing Link Between Brain & Immune System Discovered

Stem Cell Regeneration Center Blog, Research

Most classically trained medical professionals don’t give our lymphatic systems much thought when making diagnoses of neurological disease. In fact, many patients can even have parts of their lymphatic system, such as a spleen, removed with little or no immediate side effects. Without our complex lymphatic system, however, our circulatory system is incomplete. The fact is that most of our …

Scientists Unable to Reproduce STAP Cell Breakthrough

Stem Cell Regeneration Center Blog, Research

Science is a tribute to what we can know although we are fallible. – Jacob Bronowski Biologist Dr Haruko Obokata of the RIKEN institute in Kobe Japan has been unable to reproduce pluripotent results from a controversial “Acid Bath” technique involving mice derived adult stem cells. The technique was coined STAP or “stimulus-triggered acquisition of pluripotency” and made international headlines …

Regenerating Cornea Tissue from Adult Stem Cells

Stem Cell Regeneration Center Blog

Researchers in Boston USA have identified a new way to enable regrow human corneal tissue to help restore vision in the early trials. The team was led by Dr Paraskevi Kolovou. The key to the new discovery was the ABCB5 molecule that acted like a marker to find limbal cells. These limbal stem cells can be difficult to find and …

Adult Somatic vs Embryonic Derived Stem Cells

Stem Cell Regeneration Center Blog

Embryonic and Adult stem cells, or somatic stem cells, are among the most common sources of bioengineered cell-based regenerative medicine today. Adult “post-natal” stem cells are sometimes referred to as somatic stem cells. Somatic Stem Cell Transplants The main function of somatic stem cells in your body is to maintain tissue health, or “homeostasis,” by ensuring your body naturally replenishes …
