- Novel Method Propagates Neural Stem Cells. Tolchin, Elizabeth // Drug Discovery & Development;Oct2005, Vol. 8 Issue 10, p12
The article reports that researchers now claim to have developed a method to propagate neural stem cells derived from mouse embryonic stem cells. According to a study published in the journal "PLoS Biology," the cells can proliferate without differentiation, or they can be allowed to mature into...

Abstract��The hierarchy of stromal precursor cells was studied. Changes in the number of fibroblast CFU in foci forming in irradiated recipients were analyzed. These precursor cells are most close known descendants of mesenchymal stem cells, while inducible precursors rank lower in the...

Abstract��Stem cells from the endometrium isolated during menstrual bleeding were characterized. By their main surface markers, differentiation potential, and morphological signs these cells belong to mesenchymal stem cells. Specific features of this cell type are high clonogenic activity...

Summary:Transplantation of allogeneic stem cells is currently the only curative treatment for some nonmalignant pediatric diseases. We investigated whether transplantation of purified CD34+ stem cells prevents acute and chronic GvHD and reduces transplant-related mortality. A total of 25...
