Discovery may help prevent chemotherapy-induced anemia

By on Monday, May 6th, 2013 | No Comments

Researchers have discovered that chemo induces a type of nerve damage inside bone marrow that can cause delays in recovery after bone marrow transplantation. The findings suggest that combining chemotherapy with nerve-protecting agents may prevent long-term bone marrow injury.

TCGA researchers identify potential drug targets, markers for leukemia risk; New study reveals relatively few mutations in AML genomes

By on Thursday, May 2nd, 2013 | No Comments

Investigators for The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) Research Network have detailed and broadly classified the genomic alterations that frequently underlie the development of acute myeloid leukemia (AML), a deadly cancer of the blood and bone marrow. Their work paints a picture of a cancer marked by relatively few mutations compared to other types of cancer occurring in adults.

Studying The Effect Of Stem Cell Therapy On Cancer

By on Tuesday, April 30th, 2013 | No Comments

Injection of human stem cells into mice with tumors slowed down tumor growth, finds research published in BioMed Central’s open access journal Stem Cell Research & Therapy. Human mesenchymal stem cells (MSC), isolated from bone marrow, caused changes in blood vessels supplying the tumor, and it is this modification of blood supply which seems to impact tumor growth…

‘Novel, effective’ brain cancer treatment using genetic material from bone marrow cells

By on Monday, April 1st, 2013 | No Comments

In a first-of-its-kind experiment using microvesicles generated from mesenchymal bone marrow cells (MSCs) to treat cancer, neurological researchers have discovered a novel approach for treatment of tumor. Specifically, the research team found that introducing genetic material produced by MSCs, significantly reduced a particularly resistant form of malignant brain tumor in living lab rats.

New method developed to expand blood stem cells for bone marrow transplant

By on Friday, March 22nd, 2013 | No Comments

More than 50,000 stem cell transplants are performed each year worldwide. Scientists may have solved a major issue of expanding adult hematopoietic stem cells outside the human body for clinical use in bone marrow transplantation — a critical step towards producing a large supply of blood stem cells needed to restore a healthy blood system.
