Mesenchymal Stem Cells Treating Pig Diabetes
Wuhan, China -
Mesenchymal stem cells are most likely to be the first clinically approved stem cell type in the United States for non-hematopoietic conditions, with several clinical trials in mid to late Phase III. Mesenchymal stem cells are attractive because they can be used in a "universal donor" fashion, in part due to their immune modulatory...

Clinical trial for diabetes using autologous cord blood
Gainsville, Florida -
Autologous cord blood has received some recent media for its use in treatment of cerebral palsy. Other groups have reported the use of allogeneic cord blood to have positive effects for conditions other than hematopoietic disorders, even in absence of immune... Brussels, Belgium -
Numerous tissue have been described to have endogenous, tissue resident, stem cells. For example, cardiac tissues express a population of lineage negative, side population cells that can regenerate myocardium. These cells and their uses are claimed in US patent 7,097,833. The side population phenotype has... Taipei, Taiwan -
