Researchers at the Whitehead Institute in Cambridge, Massachusetts, US, have now found that adult stem cells in bone marrow gradually lose their ability to regenerate without their normal complement of membrane - bound prions.

Cardiologist Dr. Leslie Miller discusses the vital role of adult stem cells in helping the body repair itself as well as the potential benefits of cell therapy as an alternative option if you are living with symptoms of a chronic condition such as coronary artery disease or osteoarthritis that affect your ability to live a normal life.

Scientists at the Burnham Institute for Medical Research (Burnham) have discovered how HIV / AIDS disrupts the normal replication of stem cells in the adult brain, preventing new nerve cells from forming.

In adult organisms, stem cells and progenitor cells act as a repair system for the body, replenishing specialized cells, but also maintain the normal turnover of regenerative organs, such as blood, skin, or intestinal tissues.
