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

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

FRIDAY, June 8 (HealthDay News) -- U.S. researchers have discovered that bone marrow stem cells attracted to an area of cancer growth frequently take on the outward appearance of the cancer cells around them.

Stem cells, which are believed to hold great medical promise, also play a lead role in fuelling the formation and growth of brain tumours.

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.
