Scientists have revealed a new avenue for harvesting stem cells -- from a woman's placenta, or more specifically the discarded placentas of healthy newborns. The study also finds there are far ...

We leverage this platform of technology we discovered, which is to use the postpartum placenta as a source of cells that can be productized. When stem cells first emerged as a research oddity ...

New advances in stem-cell technologies are crucial for understanding the earliest stages of placental development, a period critical to pregnancy success. If the trophectoderm, the outer shell of ...

Now, researchers have managed to use placental stem cells to regenerate heart cells in mice, which could lead to groundbreaking new treatments for heart attack victims. According to the World ...

The placental niche, a stem cell "safe zone," supports blood stem cell generation and expansion without promoting differentiation into mature blood cells, allowing the establishment of a pool of ...

While stem cell therapy has traditionally centered on mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), MUSE cells are quickly gaining traction ...

Plus, unlike embryonic stem cells, placenta cells can be taken from any placenta and injected into anyone without the risk of rejection. Placentas also offer a practically limitless source of stem ...

It has raised $250 million in funding for its stem-cell-based platform. The company is specifically using and storing placental stem cells for its regenerative medicine and cell therapy programs.

LifebankUSA, a subsidiary of Celgene Cellular Therapeutics, has announced plans for a new service to bank stem cells derived from the placenta. Placental-derived stem cells (PDSCs), which have ...

To deal with the issue, the team converted skin cells to placental stem cells, and then later into differentiated placenta cells in the lab. “Once you discover a pregnancy disorder or ...

Human placenta is so different from animal models, Parast says. So using stem cells to model and research placentas is key. Studies are showing progress in experimenting on human placentas known ...

Only a handful of stem cell therapies are currently approved by the F.D.A., mainly for treating blood cancer and immune ...
