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.

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.

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...

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...

Researchers say a London man appears to be free of the HIV virus after a stem cell transplant. It's the second such success since 'Berlin patient' Timothy Ray Brow. The London patient has not been identified. He was diagnosed with HIV in 2003. He developed cancer and agreed to a stem cell transplant...

Researchers at Newcastle University have been able to 3D-print a biocompatible corneal framework using a new gel formulations that “keeps the stem cells alive whilst producing a material which is stiff enough to hold its shape but soft enough to be squeezed out the nozzle of a 3D printer.” There is

“This was a breakthrough surgery and brings us one step closer to solving the organ shortage crisis. There are not enough donor human hearts available to meet the long list of potential recipients,” said Bartley P. Griffith, MD, who transplanted the pig heart into patient David Bennett.
