Researchers develop method to regrow cartilage in arthritic mice
Researchers at Stanford University School of Medicine (CA, USA) have discovered a way to regenerate cartilage in mouse and human tissue. The study was recently published in Nature Medicine, and builds on previous research at Stanford that resulted in the isolation of the skeletal stem cell responsible for the production of bone and cartilage.

Researchers use patients' cells to test gene therapy for rare eye disease
Scientists at the National Eye Institute (NEI) have developed a promising gene therapy strategy for a rare disease that causes severe vision loss in childhood.
First non-human primate study showing promise of gene therapy for stroke repair
Stroke is a leading cause of death and severe long-term disability with limited treatments available.
Cell-to-cell fusion approach boosts supply of blood stem cells
A group of researchers has identified a specific protein that is critical for the expansion of blood stem cells. Their discovery, which has been published in Cell Reports, may lead to new methods for growing large quantities of these stem cells, both inside and outside of the human body.
Researchers grow intestinal cells from human-induced pluripotent stem cells
A team of scientists from Japan have found success in growing small intestinal cells, akin to those found in the human body, from human-induced pluripotent stem cells.
