Brief description In our recent Cell paper (January 15, 2015), we reported our discovery of two new adult stem cells. One of these, the osteochondroreticular (OCR) bone stem cell (pronounced “ocker” stem cell) has a particular affinity for developing cartilage. We are testing if this cell could be used as a new treatment for osteoarthritis. The second new stem cell we discovered, is called the iRSC, and lies within the intestine. We are studying this cell in the development and treatment of bowel cancer.
