In a study of human tumors growing in mice, University of Minnesota researchers have found that immune cells derived from human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) completely eliminated the tumors in 100 percent of mice tested. These new killer cells could help develop cures for leukemia, lymphoma, prostate cancer, breast cancer and testicular cancer. [Continue]
The simple term “stem cell” actually refers to many different types of cells. The tissue-specific stem cells, or adult stem cells, replenish tissues throughout our lives. Embryonic stem cells exist only briefly in early development before tissues begin to form. Irv Weissman discovered the first tissue stem cells and has helped develop [Continue]

Roman Reed, 33 years old, suffered a spinal cord injury in 1994 leaving him confined to a wheelchair. Immediately after his injury he dedicated himself to advocating for embryonic stem cell research funding to find cures for MS, Parkinsons, Alzheimers and those with similar injuries. As Roman puts it, “It’s ridiculous to think that [Continue]
UC San Francisco presents Mini Medical School. In this edition, join Dr. Michael German, the clinical director of UC San Francisco’s Diabetes Center, as he explores the steps human embryonic stem cells take to become insulin producing pancreatic islet cells, and the goal of clinicians to transplant these cells to treat diabetes. Series: [Continue]
