World’s First Trial Using Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells (iPS)
In February, 2019, Japan approves world-first clinical trial using iPS stem cells to treat spinal cord injuries. The researchers will inject neural cells produced from so-called induced pluripotent stem cells into four people who sustained injuries while playing sports or in traffic accidents.
Heart Muscle Cells Created From Stem Cells: In February 2019, a team of Rutgers scientists (USA), have taken an important step toward the goal of making diseased hearts heal themselves – a new model that would reduce the need for bypass surgery, heart transplants or artificial pumping devices. The model involved removing connective tissue cells from a human ....
