The results of a Nature study may quell long-held concerns over the safety of transplanted induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells. In a 2011 investigation, transplanted...
A meta-analysis of 11 studies reveals that undifferentiated, mulitpotent neural stem cells (NSC) from mice or humans may slow the onset and mitigate the symptoms of...
During the 2013 Biotech Showcase in San Francisco, NYSCF CEO Susan L. Solomon presented on NYSCF’s role in the future of stem cell research at the...
The Supreme Court refused to hear an appeal from the plaintiff’s of Sherley v. Sebelius. Significantly, this marks the end of a years-long legal battle to...
University of Oxford researchers report strides to reverse blindness in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The group, led by Robert MacLaren, transplanted light-sensitive...
Passing on genetic mutations for disease is one of the greatest fears among parents-to-be, but a new technique may alleviate some of those worries. Mitochondrial disorders...
BRCA1, a gene commonly known for its role in cancer, has been found to play an essential role in hair follicle cell maintenance. As reported in...
A paradox that finally explains why certain breast cancers respond to treatment has been uncovered by Jian Jian Li and colleagues. For HER-2 negative breast cancers,...
A joint team of scientists from The New York Stem Cell Foundation (NYSCF) and Columbia University Medical Center (CUMC) has developed a technique that may prevent...
The expression of a single gene can directly convert heart muscle cells to cardiac pacemaker cells (i.e. SAN cells) both in an animal and a dish....
To treat corneal blindness, University of Sheffield researchers led by Frederik Claeyssens have engineered a biodegradable material with pockets to hold stem cells in place as...
Pharmaceutical companies and academic institutions, with European Union backing, are collaborating to produce a bank of 1,500 induced pluripotent stem cell lines. This StemBANCC project, to...
In Nature Methods, a group of researchers led by Duanqing Pei reported the derivation of neural progenitor cells from urine. Easily procured, human excreta could be...
As NYSCF CEO Susan L. Solomon revealed in her TED Global talk this past summer, the current model of drug development is broken: it takes, on...
On December 4, NYSCF CEO Susan L. Solomon was honored at the World Stem Cell Summit with the 2012 Stem Cell Action Leadership Award. Annually since...
To better understand how an animal’s state influences sensory experience, Takaki Komiayana, a NYSCF – Robertson Investigator, and colleagues employed an imaging platform to observe the...
On December 4, NYSCF CEO Susan L. Solomon was honored at the World Stem Cell Summit with the 2012 Stem Cell Action Leadership Award. Annually since...
Induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells derived from banked or even frozen blood samples present a practical and efficient platform to generate patient-specific cells. Researchers led by...
NYSCF – Robertson Neuroscience Investigator Ed Boyden, PhD, is senior author on a new paper in Advanced Materials. He and colleagues adapted a photolithography technique, traditionally...
Giuseppe Maria de Peppo, PhD, a NYSCF Postdoctoral Fellow, recently co-authored a book chapter in the seventh volume of Stem Cells and Cancer Stem Cells assessing the...
Difficult to extract, nerve cells from patients with Riley-Day syndrome largely preclude study of this disease. Riley-Day syndrome is a rare genetic disease that affects the...
Jasper, a dachshund, might not go on long walks, but he can stay in step on a treadmill with harness support after participation in a stem...
To better understand genetic factors involved in brain development, researchers led by Tristan Bouschet and Pierre Vanderhaeghen examined mouse embryonic stem cells. When oncogene BCL6 was...
Cell mosaicism—genetic variations between individual cells of a particular type—may account for genomic “instability” observed in induced pluripotent stem cell lines. Researchers led by Mark Gerstein...
Generated neurons from human embryonic stem cells not only integrated into rodent model’s hippocampus but displayed and promoted electrical activity when optogenetically stimulated. These results may...
