The creation of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) undoubtedly can be considered one of the most significant discoveries of the twenty-first century in the field of cell technologies. For the discovery of the technology of creation of induced pluripotent stem cells, namely...

For decades, physicians have relied on stem cell transplants to reset the immune system of patients who have hematologic cancers, such as leukemia and lymphoma. This has led researchers to wonder if stem cell transplants could also reset the immune system so that...

We are collaborating on a project to compile all cell therapy clinical trials registered worldwide from 2011 through 2015. Our database includes 58 clinical trials for autoimmune diseases, with a total planned enrollment of 2192 patients.

In this article we have prepared two figures to illustrate...

Banking of umbilical cord blood in the United States is regulated by law. In 2005, the Institute of Medicine (IOM) issued a comprehensive report to Congress on cord blood banking.
