LIVER STEM CELL ORGANS ON HORIZON. "We were able to massively expand the liver cells and subsequently convert them to hepatocytes at a modest percentage. Going forward, we will enlist other growth factors and conditions to improve that percentage. Liver stem cell therapy for chronic liver disease in humans is coming." http://lnkd.in/bWSjann View in LinkedIn

LIVER AND BRAIN ORGANOIDS. "Liver buds and brain organoids are among this year's life-saving advances in growing spare human parts. This year they succeeded in generating mini-livers, or liver buds, from stem cells that were taken from human skin and reprogrammed to an embryonic state." (Takanori Takebe, Yokohama City University, Japan). http://lnkd.in/bQypYNq View in LinkedIn

RECONDITIONED ORGANS. “Suppose you have a 20-year-old patient who is hit by a car. Their chest is crushed. You can’t use the heart ... The heart cells have died. But you could save that heart by “decellularizing” it. I never say no to any of the poor quality human organs offered to me for research. Nothing should get wasted.” http://lnkd.in/br2SWEK View in LinkedIn

URINAL STEM CELLS FOR TOOTH BUDS. "Working with cells passed from the body in urine, researchers created stem cells that could potentially form rudimentary teeth and implanted them into the kidneys of mice. After three weeks, the urine stem cells grew into tooth-like structures that contained dental pulp, dentin, enamel space and enamel organ." http://lnkd.in/b-3DP55 View in LinkedIn

FIRST TOOTH STEM CELL BANKING. "Provia Labs' mission is to set the standard in dental stem cell banking by providing the most scientifically-rigorous service and the best experience for our clients and dentist partners." http://www.store-a-tooth.com/?lmc_track=8778675753&gclid=CMC474ytpL4CFcRafgodPScAKQ View in LinkedIn

STEM CELL DERIVED TEETH. "Now that stem cells have been found in the dental pulp chamber, British and U.S. researchers say the same thing could apply to teeth within ten years ... 'The aim is you go along to your dentist, we take cells from you and engineer them. We replace them into the site you need the tooth and, hey presto, the tooth would grow." http://lnkd.in/bD2hEiT View in LinkedIn

NEW TEETH FROM STEM CELLS. "So far, teeth have been regenerated in mice and monkeys, and clinical trials with humans are underway, but whether the technology can generate teeth that are nourished by the blood and have full sensations remains to be seen." http://lnkd.in/bZeuY5P View in LinkedIn

DENTAL PULP STEM CELLS. "More recently a subpopulation of dental pulp stem cells has been described as human Immature Dental Pulp Stem Cells (IDPSC) ... Through the addition of tissue-specific cytokines, differentiated cells were obtained in vitro from these cells, not only of mesenchymal linage but also of endo- and ecto-dermal lineage." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dental_pulp_stem_cells View in LinkedIn

BRAIN ORGANOIDS GROWN FROM STEM CELLS. "Ear, eye, liver, windpipe, bladder and even a heart. The list of body parts grown from stem cells is getting longer and longer. Now add to it one of the most complex organs: the brain. In eight to 10 days, the stem cells turned into brain cells." http://lnkd.in/bg_fA5J View in LinkedIn
