In a breakthrough treatment, researchers at a burn unit in Europe found a way to replace 80 percent of a boys skin using a combination of gene therapy and stem cells. The grafted skin attached to his body has continued to replace itself, even months later

Related content (CNN) - For the first time, doctors were able to treat a child who had a life-threatening rare genetic skin disease through a transplant of skin grown using genetically modified stem cells. The grafts replaced 80% of the boy's skin.

During the last decade, an increased interest in somatic stem cells has led to a flurry of research on one of the most accessible tissues of the body: skin. Much effort has focused on such topics as understanding the heterogeneity of stem cell pools within the epidermis and dermis, and their comparative utility in regenerative medicine applications. In Skin Stem Cells: Methods and Protocols, expert researchers in the field detail many of the methods which are now commonly used to study skin stem cells

CHOLLEY PhytocellBooster is ideal for smoothening wrinkles and eliminating the signs of aging or fatigue. It is a perfect product in many situations, such as after waking up in the morning, an exhausting day at work, and prior to attending a business meeting or party. CHOLLEY Phytocell Booster instantly reduces wrinkles and imparts a lifted and younger-looking appearance to the skin.

Stem cells have the remarkable potential to develop into many different cell types in the body during early life and growth. In addition, in many tissues they serve as a sort of internal repair system, dividing essentially without limit to replenish other cells as long as the person or animal is still alive. When a stem cell divides, each new cell has the potential either to remain a stem cell or become another type of cell with a more specialized function, such as a muscle cell, a red blood cell, or a brain cell

A Decatur elementary student and her mother are recovering following a stem cell transplant in a Cincinnati-area hospital. It will be six to eight weeks, however, before doctors know whether the membrane Nicole Richey gave her daughter Phoenix is working. What were praying for is that Phoenix will start producing her own stem cells, Joey Richey said by telephone Thursday

In simpler times, skincare choices were slotted by agetwenties, thirties, fortiesor skin type, that is, oily, dry or combination. Night creams signalled a milestone, an anti-ageing ritual you transited to once you turned forty.

Nancy Crotti Researchers have developed tissue nanotransfection, a process for regrowing tissue inside the human body. Researchers at Ohio State University have developed breakthrough stem cell technology that can regrow tissue inside the human body, rather than in a laboratory. Their work has implications for critical limb ischemia, brain disorders, and possibly even organ engineering and bone regrowth, according to Chandan Sen, PhD, director of the Center for Regenerative Medicine and Cell-Based Therapies at Ohio State's Wexner Medical Center in Columbus

Cellular Renovation Why build something from the ground up when one can just renovate an already existing structure? Essentially, thats what researchers from the University of Washington School of Medicine in St. Louis had in mind when they developed a method for transforming adult human skin cells into motor neurons in a lab

Press Release Researchers at Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center uncovered a novel pathway for hair follicular regeneration. Palm tocotrienol complex (EVNol SupraBio) is shown to induce hair follicle growth via protein expression of epidermal E-cadherin dependent beta-catenin - the key signaling molecule for inducing pluripotent stem cells in the adult skin. In this study (1), male mice with mutated leptin receptor were applied with either 5mg/cm2 palm tocotrienol rich fraction (TRF) (ie

GUANGZHOU, China, Sept. 5, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Chinese Grand Fan Group formally signed the agreement to acquire the French CICABEL brand on September 4th. Grand Fan Group is openly optimistic about CICABEL's technology and development prospects, while the investment into the French brand represents the first step in the execution of the strategy behind the group's entry into the skin care market.

Microneedling has quickly become one of the most popular skin rejuvenation treatments. If youre considering trying it, here is what you need to know. Microneedling, also called collagen-induction therapy, uses small needles that pierce the outermost layer of skin to create tiny microchannels

Chemical changes in the eye that can lead to blindness have been identified by scientists, a conference will hear tomorrow (Tuesday 5 September). Their findings aid understanding of a genetic condition that causes sight loss for one in 3,000 people in the UK.

Monkeys with Parkinsons disease symptoms show significant improvement over two years after being transplanted neurons prepared from human induced pluropontent stem cells, scientists at the Center for iPS Cell Research and Application (CiRA), Kyoto University, report. One of the last steps before treating patients with an experimental cell therapy for the brain is confirmation that the therapy works in monkeys. Parkinsons disease degenerates a specific type of cells in the brain known as dopaminergic (DA) neurons

| Marlowe Hood | PARIS (AFP) Lab monkeys with Parkinsons symptoms regained significant mobility after neurons made from human stem cells were inserted into their brains, researchers reported Wednesday in a study hailed as groundbreaking. The promising results were presented as the last step before human clinical trials, perhaps as early as next year, the studys senior author, Jun Takahashi, a professor at Kyoto University, told AFP.

LONDON (Reuters)Scientists have successfully used reprogrammed stem cells to restore functioning brain cells in monkeys, raising hopes the technique could be used in future to help patients with Parkinsons disease. Since Parkinsons is caused by a lack of dopamine made by brain cells, researchers have long hoped to use stem cells to restore normal production of the neurotransmitter chemical. Now, for the first time, Japanese researchers have shown that human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPS) can be administered safely and effectively to treat primates with symptoms of the debilitating disease.
