Desperate parents sold implausible stem-cell 'cures' New Scientist Sun, 20 Jul 2008 3:14 AM PDT Some Chinese biotech companies appear to be marketing themselves to families with controversial stem cell treatments for incurable disorders Predicting Acute GVHD By Gene Expression Could Improve Liver Stem Cell Transplant Outcomes Science Daily Sun, 20 Jul 2008 10:24 PM PDT Acute graft-versus-host disease occurs when an immune response is elicited by the grafted cells against a recipient, resulting in tissue damage for the treated individual. There are no definitive markers for predicting the development or progression of GVHD following the transplant of allogenic stem cells as therapy for liver cancer. This study offers a preliminary "molecular signature" for the ... Stem cell chicken and egg debate moves to unlikely arena: the testes EurekAlert!
