Menstrual Blood Stem Cells Part 2
Tokyo, Japan -
It was previously reported by the company Medistem (mdsm.ob) that a population of multipotent stem cells exist in menstrual blood. These cells, which Medistem termed "endometrial regenerative cells" appear to possess some of the properties of mesenchymal stem cells, such as expression of CD90 and... SCOTTSDALE, AZ--(MARKET WIRE)--Mar 20, 2008 -- Medistem Laboratories, Inc. (OTC BB:MDSM.OB - News) is pleased to announce its recent co-authored article entitled, "Endometrial regenerative cells: a novel stem cell population" received BioMed Central's research article of the year in medicine award. The award recognizes excellence... [Watch the Video]
This is a video describing the recent paper in Cell in which skin fibroblasts were retrodifferentiated to cells that "looked and felt" like embryonic stem cells. This is a major breakthrough in our knowledge of cell dedifferentiation and ability to use distinct, chemically-defined factors to coax an old cell into becoming a young cell again.

This is one of many newsclips describing the discovery of pluripotent stem cells from the menstrual blood in a recent publication by the adult stem cell company Medistem (mdsm.ob). Hong Kong, China -
It is known that similar to normal tissue, cancer tissue has differentiated cells, and stem cells. The stem cells contribute to, and maintain, the tumor mass. Since numerous properties of stem cells are becoming elucidated, such as markers (CD133) and specific characteristics (rhodamine 123 efflux), these properties are being used to purify cancer stem cells and to study...

The generation of stem cells from peripheral blood would be very appealing due to the possibility of autologous use, as well as lack of invasiveness during extraction. In a recent paper (Zhao et al. A unique human blood-derived cell population displays high potential for producing insulin. Biochem Biophys Res Commun. 2007 Aug 17;360(1):205-11) a type of stem cell... Houston, Texas -
It is known that subsequent to various types of intestinal surgeries, the remaining tissue compensates by augmentation of the mucosal surface area. In a recent study (Dekaney et al. Expansion of intestinal stem cells associated with long-term adaptation following ileocecal resection in mice. Am J Physiol Gastrointest Liver Physiol. 2007 Sep 13;) it was found that...

This video describes the Nature Biotechnology paper in which amniotic fluid derived stem cells were described in some detail. Of particular interest in the video is the discussion that these cells, which are isolated based on positivity for c-kit actually express Oct-4, which is a marker of embryonic stem cells. The video was posted by the stem cell clinic
