New Lease on Legs: Stem Cell Treatment Gives Mice with MS-Like Condition Ability to Walk
For a long time, the team of scientists was in shock: in just two weeks they had transformed mice that could not walk—into mice that could. In the latest issue of Stem Cell Reports, available online today, scientists from the University of Utah and the Scripps Research Institute in La Jolla, CA, have reversed the … Continue reading New Lease on Legs: Stem Cell Treatment Gives Mice with MS-Like Condition Ability to Walk
Mysteries of stem cell migration revealed
CIRM-funded Researchers at the University of California, Irvine published an interesting paper this week that helps explain one mystery — how do transplanted stem cells go to the right place? This is an important issue for diseases such as multiple sclerosis, where transplanted stem cells would have to navigate to the damaged nerves. In … Continue reading Mysteries of stem cell migration revealed
