A research team from Imperial College London have been working on an innovative treatment that may be able to cure the common cold, which would be inhaled to stop the virulent illness in its tracks. The common cold is a collective term for hundreds of very similar viruses, which has made it notoriously difficult to […]
Scientists claim that stem cell transplants could be a ‘game changer’ for patients who suffer from multiple sclerosis. The results of international trials show that a stem cell transplant can help to stop the development of the disease and ameliorate symptoms.

In what has been described by the International Aids Society as an “exciting breakthrough”, the virus has shown a remarkable efficacy and could have major applications, if human testing […]
Twenty years of research into the use of stem cells to generate human blood has led to the potential for “limitless” blood supplies by turning adult cells into stem cells, which can in turn create any type of blood cell, researchers claim. This could reduce the risk of shortages for people with poor immune systems, […]
