Blood Stem Cells Permanently Damaged by Alcohol
Bone marrow stem cells are extremely sensitive to the primary by-product of alcohol, which causes permanent damage to their DNA claims researchers from the Medical Research Council (MRC) Lab of Molecular Biology. The research, which was conducted on mice, uncovers two mechanisms that normally control this type of damage; a protein group that recognizes and…

Mesenchymal Stem Cells Stop Arthritis in its Tracks – Duke University
Researchers at Duke University announced a promising new stem cell therapy aimed at osteoarthritis prevention after a joint injury. The probability of developing arthritis after injury (post-traumatic arthritis – PTA) greatly increases after injury. Currently, the US FDA has not approved any drugs that slow or eliminate the progression of PTA. However, at Duke researchers…

Fat Stem Cells are not affected by weight or age
Mojallal et al. Aesthetic Plast Surg. Fat represents a potent source of autologous stem cells. Historically, the majority of research using autologous stem cells involved stem cells collected from the bone marrow. This source is associated with a painful extraction procedure and relatively low concentrations of mesenchymal stem cells. In contract, mini-liposuctions represent a less…
