Scientists used human stem cells to create precursors to human livers like those in fetuses, and the early organs functioned as livers when transplanted into mice. These buds didnt grow into regular livers and any treatment for humans is at least a decade away, according to the research published in the journal Nature. Still, the study demonstrated the first steps toward potentially creating new organs for transplants, researchers said. Demand for organ transplant outpaces the number of donors, with more than 118,000 Americans waiting for a life-saving transplant, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. An average of 18 people die each day waiting for an organ transplant. Stem cells, which can grow into any other type of cell, have long held the promise of bridging this gap. The study holds out real promise for a viable alternative approach to human organ transplants, said Matthew Smalley, a senior lecturer at Cardiff Universitys European Cancer Stem Cell Research Institute who wasnt involved in the study. Japanese scientists, mostly from Yokohama City University, planted the liver buds on the heads and abdomens of mice, according to the paper released yesterday. The heads allowed for a better view of how … Continue reading →

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/9ccw77/stem_cells_market) has announced the addition of the "Stem Cells Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends And Forecast, 2012 - 2018" report to their offering. Stem cells are undifferentiated cells which are capable of differentiating into any type of cell that make-up the human body and thus, are capable of producing non-regenerative cells such as neural and myocardial cells. This report estimates the market for global stem cells in terms of revenue (USD billion) for the period 2012 - 2018, keeping 2011 as the base year. The global stem cells market is mainly segmented into four major sub-types namely market by products, market by technology, market by applications and market by geography. The global stem cells market by technology is segmented into four sub-types, namely cell acquisition, cell production, cryopreservation and expansion and sub-culture. Cell acquisition is further segmented into three sub-types, namely bone marrow harvest, apheresis and umbilical cord blood. Cell production is further segmented into therapeutic cloning, in vitro fertilization, isolation and cell culture. The global stem cells market by application is segmented into regenerative medicines and drug discovery and development. Regenerative medicines are further segmented into ten sub-types, namely neurological … Continue reading →

By: Rebecca Jacobson Watch this time lapse video showing how three types of stem cells organized into a three dimensional liver bud over 72 hours. Video by Takanori Takebe When stem cell biologist Takanori Takebe at Japan's Yokohama City University first saw his results in a petri dish, the feeling was hard to describe. "I think 'gobsmacked' is the closest word in English," said translator Matthew Salter from the journal Nature's Tokyo office, during a press briefing on Tuesday. Takebe and his team had mixed three cell types: adult stem cells engineered for a human liver, adult bone marrow stem cells and stem cells from a human umbilical cord. The cells self-organized into a liver bud -- a tiny, three dimensional, functioning piece of human liver, complete with a vascular system to deliver blood to the organ. When Takebe transplanted the liver bud into a mouse, it thrived, functioning like a human liver. It also helped bring the mouse back from liver failure, an important step in the team's conclusion that the liver bud was functioning, Takebe told the press. Creating fully functioning organs for transplant has been a goal of stem cell research since work on embryonic stem cells … Continue reading →

Singapore, July 2, 2013 - (ACN Newswire) - Scientists at A*STAR's Genome Institute of Singapore (GIS) and the Max Planck Institute for Molecular Genetics (MPIMG) in Berlin (Germany) have discovered a molecular network in human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) that integrates cell communication signals to keep the cell in its stem cell state. These findings were reported in the June 2013 issue of Molecular Cell. Human embryonic stem cells have the remarkable property that they can form all human cell types. Scientists around the world study these cells to be able to use them for medical applications in the future. Many factors are required for stem cells to keep their special state, amongst others the use of cell communication pathways. Cell communication is of key importance in multicellular organisms. For example, the coordinated development of tissues in the embryo to become any specific organ requires that cells receive signals and respond accordingly. If there are errors in the signals, the cell will respond differently, possibly leading to diseases such as cancer. The communication signals which are used in hESCs activate a chain of reactions (called the extracellular regulated kinase (ERK) pathway) within each cell, causing the cell to respond by … Continue reading →
