While stem cell therapies have been touted as “miracle cures”, data indicates that there are still hurdles keeping them out of the clinic.
A minimally invasive method holds promise for the treatment of neurological disorders and injury.
Tiny ‘xenobots’ assembled from cells promise advances from drug delivery to toxic waste clean-up.
Researchers seek a more effective way to culture human embryonic stem cells.
Non-pathogenic bacteria can colonize different surfaces to help direct human stem cells to bone cells.
Dual-contrast MRI for real time monitoring of transplanted stem cell delivery, migration and death.
Limbal stem cells have attracted a lot of interest in the field of regenerative medicine because of their unique ability to fully restore the whole cornea upon transplantation. Several important aspects of limbal stem cell biology are reviewed such as limbal stem cell identification, developmental origin and therapeutic potential.
