How do you make a working human heart? Scientists can turn stem cells into beating heart cells, but getting them to organize into a 3D heart requires a scaffold. At the Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, Harald Ott and his team are reusing the scaffold that nature provides. They're stripping...

A 41-site clinical trial, testing the restorative effect that adult bone marrow stem cells have on damaged or injured myocardium in heart attack patients, is being led at Wake Forest Baptist by Sanjay Gandhi, MD.

The major goal at the Department of Cell Biology at Duke University Medical Center is to understand how cells build and regenerate tissue. Scientists work in close collaboration with physicians to combine the power of genetics in model organisms such as the mouse and zebrafish with cutting edge imag...

CBS News clip showing how medicine is moving towards growing new parts from your own cells. Although research is still in the experimental stage, there are very positive signs that the procedure may soon become a reality.

Regenerative medicine may sound like science fiction, but it is based on a simple premise. Dr. Atala lists the types of tissues that they plan to bio-print at the Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine.

It can lose its tail and have a new one 24 hours later. Magic? No, it's just the great self-regenerating potential of the zebra fish. Christian Jopling, a researcher at the Barcelona Centre for Regenerative Medicine, explains how studies on these fish can help us to discover how to regenerate human ...

Learn about the differences between cancerous cells and healthy blood cells.

Awesome viddeo explaining the way in which the antibody, HuLuc 63, appears to induce anti-tumor effects by binding to a protein that is only expressed on the surface of myeloma cells. This initiates antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity activity that kills myeloma cells and leaves healthy cells i...

Natural health physician and Mercola.com founder Dr. Joseph Mercola and David Kekich discuss about regenerative medicine and aging.

This scene shows several activated T cells attacking rapidly dividing cancer cells of a growing tumor. The activation and proliferation of cytotoxic T cells are critical for immune-mediated tumor destruction. Recent scientific advances have reignited interest in the area of cancer immunotherapy.
