Learn more about the National Academies’ various programs designed to connect, engage, and inspire. In 2005, the National Academies released the book, Guidelines for Human Embryonic Stem Cell Research ...

If Rip van Winkle had just awoken from a slumber that started five or six years ago, the current political debate over human embryonic stem cell research would seem bewildering. Both sides make ...

are pluripotent stem cells generated from adult cells by reprogramming. iPSCs have the same properties as embryonic stem cells, and therefore self-renew and can differentiate into all cell types ...

Bush's decision in August 2001 to permit federal financing for research on human embryonic stem (ES) cells using established ES cell lines. Stem-cell research has enormous potential value in both ...

A research group led by Kazunobu Sawamoto, a professor at Nagoya City University and National Institute for Physiological ...

For example, red blood cells look very different from nerve cells, but they both start out as embryonic stem cells. Adults don't have any embryonic stem cells, but they do still have stem cells ...

View Full Profile. Learn about our Editorial Policies. During embryonic stem cell (ESC) development, pluripotent stem cells transition from a naïve state into a primed state before they take their ...

The main focus in the lab is on the biology and application of human embryonic stem (ES) and human induced pluripotent (iPS) cells. Pluripotent stem cells can provide a truly unlimited source for ...

Advocates counter that adult stem cells, useful as they may be for some diseases, have thus far proved incapable of producing the full range of cell types that embryonic stem cells can.

This important study reveals a role for IκBα in the regulation of embryonic stem cell pluripotency. The solid data in mouse embryonic stem cells include separation of function mutations in IκBα to ...
