Treatment type: Cell therapies

Hudson Institute of Medical Research scientists are combining stem cells from the lining of a woman’s own uterus with nanobiomaterials (biodegradable materials engineered on the nanoscale) in a world-first approach to develop safer, more effective treatments for pelvic organ prolapse.…  Read more

Hudson Institute researchers have identified that a small molecule, released by a human embryo in the womb, could be key to understanding why some embryos do not implant during IVF. The lining of the uterus or womb, also called the endometrium, is like a ‘soil’ where an embryo, or ‘seed’, must implant in order to…  Read more
