Stem cell research findings may lead to osteoporosis, bone tissue treatments
Stem cells in bone marrow need to produce hydrogen sulfide to properly multiply and form bone tissue, according to a new study from the...
Glucosamine fails to prevent deterioration of knee cartilage, decrease pain
A short-term study found that oral glucosamine supplementation is not associated with a lessening of knee cartilage deterioration among individuals with chronic knee pain. Findings...
Why Blood Stem Cells Live So Long
The blood stem cells that live in bone marrow are at the top of a complex family tree. Such stem cells split and divide...
Stem cells help offset brain damage from stroke

Using bone marrow to treat brain cancer
In a first-of-its-kind experiment using microvesicles generated from mesenchymal bone marrow cells (MSCs) to treat cancer, neurological researchers at Henry Ford Hospital have discovered...
Researchers identify how bone-marrow stem cells hold their ‘breath’ in low-oxygen...
DALLAS -- Sept. 3, 2010 -- UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers have identified unique metabolic properties that allow a specific type of stem cell in the body to survive and replicate in low-oxygen environments.
In a study published in th...
