Study evaluates stem cells ability to prevent major cause of death in preterm infants
A phase 2 clinical trial whose results were released today in
STEM CELLS Translational Medicine might point to a way to overcome bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), a major cause of death in preterm infants. The study, conducted by researchers at Samsung Medical Center, Sungkyunkwan University and Asan Medical Center Children s Hospital in Seoul, evaluates the effectiveness of treating these infants by transplanting umbilical cord blood-derived mesenchymal stem cells (UCB-MSCs) directly into their tracheas.
Early results showed signs of improvement for the most immature infants included in the trial.
Breakthrough Paper Outlines Path to Heart Regeneration After Cardiac Injury

A groundbreaking study from Neobiosis, a global expert in regenerative medicine, explains how a never-before-described process may open the door to regenerating damaged hearts. A peer-reviewed research paper from Dr. Ian White published in the journal Stem Cells and Regenerative Medicine explains how his studies of mouse hearts could be used to defeat a disease that kills 650,000 Americans each year.
A revolutionary study may open the door to regenerating damaged hearts.
We took a neonatal heart from a baby mouse and studied it in a petri dish. We studied it under a controlled environment and designed a method to keep the heart alive and keep the regenerative process active long enough to study the biology behind it.

BPD is a serious breathing disorder in which the lungs do not develop normally. Most infants who develop BPD are born more than 10 weeks before their due date, weigh less than 2 pounds at birth, and have breathing problems. Infections that occur before or shortly after birth also can contribute to the disorder. Despite recent advances in neonatal m
