National Stem Cell Foundation of Australia
Non-profit Organizations
Promoting stem cell research into the prevention or control of human diseases and enhancing public education.
About us
The National Stem Cell Foundation of Australia is an ATO-registered, tax-deductible health promotion charity dedicated to promoting the study and responsible use of stem cells to reduce the burden of disease. The mission of the Foundation is to promote the study and use of stem cells in the prevention or control of disease in human beings and to enhance public education in this field. We aim to: >> Assist Australian stem cell researchers to pursue cures for, as yet untreatable diseases, using stem cell technology and regenerative medicine. This is reached by supporting research activities in these areas. >> Provide resources for the Australian public on stem cell technology and regenerative medicine including its risks, achievements, benefits and overall technical progress.

Congratulations to Associate Professor Atul Malhotra and his team. The Foundation is proud to support this game-changing study.

In a world first, the team at Monash Children’s Hospital has successfully collected and reinfused umbilical cord blood cells in extremely premature babies, offering hope for preventing brain injuries. As reported by Robyn Riley in the Herald Sun, the ‘Cord-Safe Study’, undertaken in collaboration with Monash University and Hudson Institute of Medical Research, focused on infants born before 28 weeks' gestation, so small they could fit in the palm of your hand. ‘It represents an exciting development in neonatal care,’ said Dr Lindsay Zhou, Neonatologist at Monash Children’s Hospital and lead author of the study. ‘For the first time, we’re exploring how a baby’s own cord blood cells might be used therapeutically in extremely preterm infants, offering a potential treatment option where previously there were limited alternatives.’ Published in the Lancet journal eBioMedicine, the breakthrough offers new possibilities for the more than 1,200 extremely preterm infants born in Australia each year. Trial participant Billie was born at 24 weeks gestation at 620 grams and immediately had her umbilical cord blood collected at birth and returned at 10 days old as a possible natural shield to protect her from brain injury. Billie spent 109 days in the NICU at Monash Children’s Hospital before making her way home with mum Rhianna and dad Sam. She is now three years old, a big sister to Chester, and meeting all her milestones. ‘I am a nurse, I’m all for research,’ said Billie’s mum, Rhianna. ‘Our babies had a chance because other parents had done clinical trials in the past.’ The project’s lead researcher, Associate Professor Atul Malhotra, said the breakthrough offered hope for parents and medical professionals dealing with the complex challenges of extremely premature birth, potentially changing the landscape of neonatal care for generations to come.

‘Researchers create a new organoid with all key pancreas cells’ – Hubrecht Institute, Developmental Biology and Stem Cell Research Organoid group hopes the findings will lead to treatments for pancreatic diseases. The team identified a new stem cell that develops into three key cell types in the pancreas “which previous organoids couldn’t fully mimic”: https://lnkd.in/etJ_zWG7 Paper: https://lnkd.in/gUaAcpYT #stemcell #stemcellscience #medicalresearch #organoid

The journal Nature calls it a 'Wikipedia for cells'. Great insights in a series of 40+ peer-reviewed papers which highlight many of the large scale datasets, AI algorithms and biomedical discoveries from the global Human Cell Atlas consortium. Nature Portfolio #stemcells #stemcellscience
We are thrilled to share news about a publication collection in Nature Portfolio and associated journals. The 40+ peer reviewed Human Cell Atlas papers cover human development, organ specific integrations, analytical methods, ethics and equity. See the Nature collection Landing page: https://lnkd.in/eCNeb7-Y The collection marks significant progress in our understanding of the human body. They also provide a foundation towards the first draft Human Cell Atlas which is being created by 18 HCA Biological Networks. Draft Lung, Brain and Retina HCA Atlases have already been created, and are on the HCA Data Portal, with more to come. Link to HCA Data Portal: https://lnkd.in/eppKiQsZ The Atlas will have far-reaching implications for medicine and will equip healthcare professionals and drug developers with a high resolution view of a healthy human body and how it is impacted by disease. The Collection is a huge milestone and we could not have reached this point without the contributions of thousands of experts and the incredible support of funders.
