Stem cells collected from the human amniotic membrane can slow the progression of scarring in pulmonary fibrosis, reports a new study. The findings of the study are published in the journal Stem Cells Translational Medicine . This ...

Stem Cells Stop Their Own Death To Aid Healing

Stem cells are able to postpone their own death in order to respond to an injury that needs their attention. “Planarian stem cells, even when challenged and under a lot of duress, will still respond to an injury by delaying death,” said Divya ...

Antioxidant-rich Diet Helps Reduce Infection Risk in Pediatric Leukemia Patients

In children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), diet rich in vitamin A, alpha and beta carotene and carotenoids was found to reduce the risk of developing mucositis or bacterial infections, revealed study published in the Journal of Clinical ...
