Umbilical-Cord Matrix Stem Cells and Cerebral Ischemia

September 11, 2008 – 2:20 pm

I am winding down on the stem cell story for now as later in the month I will be featuring my good friends at University of Sherbrooke and their research in the area of chronic pain.
I did want to highlight yet another potential application for stem cells. For this, we send kudos to Dr. Yan Xu [...]

Spinal Cord Injury and Ependymal Cells

July 31, 2008 – 8:07 pm

This research sheds light on the natural regeneration that occurs in the area of damaged spinal cord tissue. The surprise here is the role that Edendymal Progenitor Cells are playing in repair mechanism vs Neural Stem Progenitors. 
In this publication, researchers have employed genetic fate mapping to characterize a candidate neural stem cell population in the adult spinal cord [...]
