A debate over an unproven hypothesis, which says cancers are fed by cancerous stem cells, could affect the direction of research.

The latest findings may expand the ways of generating customized stem cells for new treatments

A team of South Korean scientists have found a way to solve the cancer paradox of why aging cells with reduced ability to proliferate are susceptible to cancer, characterized

[Health India]: Washington, Nov 18 : A new study conducted at The Hospital for Sick Children (Sick Kids) and the University of Toronto has confirmed that cancer stem cells are the real culprits behind childhood and adult brain tumours as they fuel and

San Diego scientists have identified a protein in embryonic stem cells that helps weed out mutations as the cells proliferate. Its action may protect a developing embryo from DNA damage that could lead to cancer later in life.

By Michael Stroh, The Baltimore Sun  Sep. 17--One Baltimore scientist has discovered what may be the key to aging and cancer's Achilles' heel. Another invented a technique universally used to pry loose the secrets of cells.

A man's testicles might be a source of stem cells to help him fight serious diseases, US scientists have shown.

New methods to reprogram adult cells could create novel models of disease.

A gene that helps cells keep their shape also causes pancreatic cancer when mutated and it might provide clues to what causes the lethal disease and how it spreads so fast, researchers said on Monday.

Scientists develop a method of routinely growing stem cells in conditions similar to the human body.

UK scientists uncover a vital clue to stopping cancers spreading around the body, according to research.

A new study from Columbia University Medical Center finds that stomach (gastric) cancer originates from bone marrow derived stem cells (BMDC), rather than from stomach stem cells, as previously thought.

In the battle against cancer, saving two patients out of 17 may seem modest enough. But researchers see hope that using genetically altered immune cells to attack tumors -- as was done in this study -- may hold the key to eventually defeating various cancers.

A small population of stem cells drives tumor growth in colon cancer, researchers said on Monday in a discovery that could lead to a new approach to tackle the deadly disease.

It was the kind of breakthrough scientists had dreamed of for decades and its promise to help cure disease appears to be fast on the way to being realized. Researchers in November announced they were able to turn the clock back on skin cells and transform them into stem cells, the mutable building blocks of organs and tissues.

Scientists have discovered a new cancer-causing gene that they believe could be a molecular master switch for the disease.

New experiments suggest stem cell research may be possible using skin patches rather than embyros.
