Chimpanzee naive pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) can now be grown in cellular cultures, reveals a recent study. They successfully created chimpanzee early embryo models, called 'blastoids,' and found ...

Very small embryonic-like stem cells (VSELs) are a rare and intriguing subpopulation of adult stem cells that exhibit molecular signatures reminiscent of embryonic stem cells. Identified in various ...

Jennifer Zenker receives funding from NHMRC and Viertel Foundation. Most people have heard of stem cells. They are often described as “miracle” cells –ones that can grow into any other type of cell in ...

Using CRISPR-based engineering methods to prompt stem cells to organize into embryo-like structures, scientists were able to create 'programmable' cellular models of embryos without ever experimenting ...

For several years, researchers studied human embryonic stem cells (ESCs) to understand the unique features of these pluripotent cells, but on their own, they poorly resembled the complex structures ...

THOUGH THEY'RE CURRENTLY only approved to treat a small group of diseases, researchers are exploring a whole world of possibilities when it comes to stem cells. “It’s an exciting field,” says Jian ...

KYOTO, Japan -- Kyoto University said Tuesday it will start providing human embryonic stem cells by July to colleges and private companies for clinical trials. The cells, like induced pluripotent stem ...

Scientists at the Leibniz Institute on Aging – Fritz Lipmann Institute (FLI) in Jena have discovered a previously unknown function of immune cells in the bone marrow. Embryonic macrophages – ...

(Reuters) - U.S. Senators Tom Harkin and Arlen Specter reintroduced legislation on Thursday that would encourage federal funding of human embryonic stem cell research -- a bill vetoed by former ...

Discover a wide range of hands-on STEM resources and lesson plans designed specifically for 4-H educators, volunteers, and teachers. This collection includes engaging activities, classroom guides, and ...

Welcome to Lab Dish, a First Opinion column on regenerative medicine from Paul Knoepfler. Twenty years ago, the use of human embryonic stem cells in research was among the most fiercely debated topics ...
