Discoveries by UAB and Florida scientists may help transplanted organs survive longer

Scientists may have found a way to dramatically slow organ transplant rejection by as much as several years. The research team reporte...

Stem cells found in adult skin can be transplanted and function in mouse models of disease

Researchers at The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) and the University of Calgary have found that stem cells derived from adult skin can create neural cell types that can be transplanted into and function in mouse models of disease. This research is reported in the June 14, 2006 issue of The Journal of Neuroscience. SickKids researchers previously discovered what type of cells can be...

Transplanted photoreceptor precursor cells restore visual function in mice with retinal degeneration

Scientists have successfully transplanted light-sensing cells called photoreceptors directly into the eyes of mice and restored their visual function. The achievement is based on a novel technology in which the cells are introduced at a particular stage in their development. It was carried out at the London Institute of Ophthalmology using a novel approach developed at the University of...

Transplanted brain cells hold promise for Parkinson's disease

Transplanted neural stem cells hold promise for reducing the destruction of dopaminergic cells that occurs in Parkinson’s disease and for replacing cells lost to the disease, scientists say. Research published in the current issue of The Journal of Neuroscience shows a human neural stem cell transplant essentially enables an animal model for Parkinson’s to continue functioning normally ra...

Type of stem cell found to reside in transplanted lungs

A new study involving a type of stem cells from the lungs of transplant patients demonstrates for the first time that these progenitor cells reside in adult organs and are not derived from bone marrow, which leads to the possibility that the cells may be able to help with the rejection of donated organs and with various kinds of lung disease. The study by University of Michigan Health Sys...

Woman gets cancer from transplanted kidney

For a person with failing kidneys, receiving a transplanted kidney can be a lifesaver. But in rare cases, the transplanted organ may pass on cancer to the recipient. Wisconsin researchers report that a transplant recipient whose donor had previously had lung cancer developed cancer herself several years after her transplant. // The woman has made a full recovery, but her case unders...

Transplanted heart made more acceptable by daclizumab

Daclizumab has been found to reduce the risk of cellular rejection after a heart transplant// when used on top of standard immunosuppression. The drug, a humanized monoclonal antibody, is directed against the interleukin-2 receptor, thereby inhibiting T-cell proliferation. Patients who were taken into the Study were either given daclizumab or a placebo. The primar...

Kidneys Can Be Transplanted From Animals Such As Pigs In Future

The idea of transplanting human organs and tissues has captured the imagination of successive generations. The first successful transplantation was a kidney transplantation performed between identical // twins by Joseph Murray and his colleagues. With the significant progress, it might even be possible to transplant non-human tissues from animals such as pigs in some 5 years from now. Th...

Heart transplanted infants better model for developing AIDS treatment

Heart transplanted infants immune system may act as a model for developing better treatment options to patients with AIDS, cancer and other immune disorders. Professor Jeffrey // Plat, Mayo Clinic is to lead a team of researchers which has got a NIH funding of $ 6 million and the research team would be studying the immune system of thymus removed heart transplanted infants. The research team foun...

Transplanted Pancreatic Tissue Could Help Diabetics

Millions of diabetics battle their illness with daily doses of insulin injections. However in people suffering with juvenile diabetes, transplants of the pancreatic tissue// could help solve the problem. Diabetes brings with it complications like blindness, amputation, kidney failure, and heart disease. Unfortunately, there are not nearly enough organ donors available for transplantat...

Stanford Researchers Track Human Stem Cells Transplanted Into Rat Brain

STANFORD, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jun 4, 2007 - Researchers at theStanford University School of Medicine have illuminated the pathtaken by human neural stem cells that were transplanted into thebrains of rats and mice, and found that the cells successfullynavigate toward areas damaged by stroke. The research group placed miniscule particles of iron insidestem cells to act as cellular bea...

Schepens Scientists Identify Key to Integrating Transplanted Nerve Cells Into Injured Tissue

Discovery promises to make retina, spinal cord and other centralnervous system transplants possible BOSTON, April 26, 2007 /PRNewswire/ -- Scientists at theSchepens Eye Research Institute, an affiliate of Harvard MedicalSchool, have identified a key mechanism for successfullytransplanting tissue into the adult central nervous system. Thestudy found that a molecule known as MMP-2 (which is...
