Science Ahead

Stem cell therapy is believed to be the next generation biomedical therapy that will revolutionize the world of medicine. The greatest problem involved in stem cell research is discovering easy ways of attaining stem cells. Stem cells are...

Every year, millions of children are born across the world. Of these newly born babies, a sizable amount are born with a number of inherent metabolic disorders that require bone marrow transplants as the only viable option to keep them alive....

Using cloning to produce monkey embryos and then extracting stem cells from them reminds of yet another so-called 'breakthrough' in the field of science research where South Korean researchers reported making stem cells from cloned human embryos...

He was awarded with the title of 'Supreme Scientist' in 2004. He was hailed as a national hero in South Korea, when he published details of what were purported to be the first stem cells made from cloned human embryos. Yes, we are talking about...

Medical researchers have reported that they have engineered an adult stem cells those are derived from the human umbilical cord blood to produce insulin which one day will surely help to cure type 1 diabetes by allowing people to grow their own...

One of the major subjects that have caught everyone's attention in medical science is the development of artificial organs. An artificial organ is a man-made organ that is implanted in human body to replace its natural counterpart. The pace, at...

Professor Esmail Zanjani, of the University of Nevada has spent the last seven years and £5 million in perfecting a technique by which a sheep can be created with 15% human cells. The technique involves a process in which adult human cells ar

The way neurodegenerative diseases are treated may be revolutionized as Laval University researchers in Canada comes up producing neurons from human skin stem cells. This new finding is being looked upon as a major breakthrough in the field of stem...

Heart patients will now be able to lead a longer life, all thanks to Technion-Israel Institute of Technology researchers who have turned out to be successful in creation of a new heart muscle with its own blood supply by making use of human embryonic...

Stem cells can trigger cancers! Two independent groups of researchers have shown this, explaining the reasons behind this, also suggesting a way of screening cells for this risk reduction. Comparing the stem cells' gene activity patterns from...
