This allowed the researchers to explore how changing the gradient guided the embryoid – an aggregate of embryonic stem cells – toward distinct outcomes. They induced the stem cells to begin ...

Stem cell research and regenerative medicine have emerged as pivotal fields in modern biomedical science, offering promising ...

Scientists have officially grown a notochord—the tissues that act as the “GPS for the developing embryo” by guiding the ...

When Science voted stem cell research its 1999 Breakthrough of the Year, the congratulatory article traced the field's origin to the 1981 successful culture of mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells. 1,2 But ...

A group of immune proteins called the inflammasome can help prevent blood stem cells from becoming malignant by removing certain receptors from their surfaces and blocking cancer gene activity, ...

The International Society for Stem Cell Research (ISSCR) has appointed three new Goldstein Science Policy Fellows, Lizhong Liu, Ph.D., Westlake University, China, Kate MacDuffie, Ph.D., Seattle ...

Human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) hold great potential for the development of cell therapies and drugs and for disease research. HiPSCs are very similar to embryonic stem cells ...
