BSCRF scientists are following up their discovery that the genes that regulate the rhythms of daily life, circadian rhythm genes, may play important roles in stem cell derivation and stability in culture.
Learn about a proof of-concept report from German scientists demonstrated that HIV-infected cells could be eliminated from the body using bone-marrow transplantation.
Foundation scientists discover that genes controlling the body’s response to light/dark cycles, circadian rhythm, are also turned on in human embryo cells that give rise to embryonic stem cells
Recent advances in stem cell research have raised the hope of curing diseases once believed to be incurable: heart failure, spinal cord injury, diabetes, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, AIDS.
Bedford Stem Cell Research Foundation is at the forefront of stem cell and related research. Founded in 1996, the Foundation has an established community of scientists investigating stem cell therapies. Committed to conducting ethical research, the Foundation relies on its Ethics Advisory Board to assist with the complex moral questions raised by some aspects of stem cell research.
BRF scientists were successful in their first attempt to repeat the ground-breaking work of Dr.Hans Scholer, the Keynote Speaker at the BRF Activated Egg Symposium in Nov, 2003. He described the development of mouse eggs from stem cells in his University of Pennsylvania laboratory.
