These could include strategies to counteract oxidative stress, enhance DNA repair or even remove damaged cells before they cause harm," Skowronska-Krawczyk said. "We plan to investigate which cell ...

Stem cells can become many types of cells in the body, from muscle to brain, and can repair damaged tissue. But they are approved only for treating some blood conditions, for skin grafts and the ...

Lorenz Studer investigates human stem cells as tools to understand normal and pathological development in the nervous system and to develop cell-based therapies. We spoke with him in 2008. My interest ...

If cells are removed from the embryo they will differentiate into any cell type. These are called embryonic stem cells. Some stem cells remain in the bodies of adults as adult stem cells.

Stem cells have already been used therapeutically to repair damaged or diseased organs, for example bone marrow transplants, corneal transplants, and skin grafts for burns. Stem cells have also ...
