Would-living-robots-be-good-news-Purported-living-robots-made-from-frog-stem-cells-which-are-called-22xenobots22.-This-has-been-hyped

Over time I seem to collect more upbeat stories about stem cells and regenerative medicine as well as cool publications  so today’s “good news” post is a collection of these kinds of things plus one example of huge science hype. Here’s a list of past such upbeat posts. The preclinical good news in rats from […]

B+ on my report card on my 20 stem cell predictions for 2019

stem-cell-crystal-ball-predictions-1

Last year around this time I took my annual plunge to make 20 predictions for the coming year for the stem cell and regenerative medicine field. I even made a crystal ball graphic to highlight the complexity of the stem cell ecosystem into which these predictions were embedded (see image) for 2019. How’d I do?

On stem cells for lungs the-profit clinic offerings don’t make much sense

lung stem cells, lung health institute

What’s the deal with lung stem cells and stem cells for lungs? For a long time researchers found that stem cells were elusive in adult lungs. There was debate about whether they even existed, but it now seems fairly established that there are some of the little guys in there. Just because one of the
