1. Discovery of cardiac stem cells may advance regenerative heart therapy
   11-22-2006 · EurekAlert!
   An immediate early publication of the journal Cell, published by Cell Press, on Nov. 22, 2006, points to the possible existence of master cardiac stem cells with the capacity to produce all three major tissues of the mammalian heart. A companion Cell paper also published online reports the discovery of a second population of cardiac progenitors, which are capable of forming both cardiac muscle and the smooth muscle found in the heart's blood vessel walls.

6. Replacing the cells lost in Parkinson disease
   12-03-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Parkinson disease is caused by the progressive degeneration of dopamine brain cells. Replacing these cells is considered a promising therapeutic strategy. Although DA cell-replacement therapy by transplantation of human fetal mesencephalic tissue has shown promise, limited tissue availability means other sources of these cells are needed. A recent study has described one new source for DA cells that provided marked benefit when transplanted into mice with a PD-like disease.
