New data show that depletion of histone chaperone CAF-1 in mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells induces early embryonic-like cells that exhibit gene-expression patterns and reprogramming efficiencies ...

Novel allogeneic stem cells and differentiated iPSCs are providing more physiologically relevant disease models.

Our readers contend that the heart really is quite central after all, and the asymmetry it does have helps to make it a more ...

Scientists plan to drop the 14-day embryo rule, a key limit on stem cell research As technology for manipulating embryonic life accelerates, researchers want to get rid of their biggest stop sign.

These are the same four genes that seemed to be very active in embryonic stem cells. So they felt, well, hmm, if we can boost them in skin stem cells, maybe they'll start behaving like embryonic ...

Embryonic origins of adult pluripotent stem cells discovered Date: December 8, 2022 Source: Harvard University, Department of Organismic and Evolutionary Biology Summary: Researchers have ...

Researchers from Japan and France have successfully reconstituted the development of mouse egg cells, known as oocytes, from ...

The Opinion Pages The Case of Embryonic Stem Cell Research R. Alta Charo is the Warren P. Knowles professor of law and bioethics at the University of Wisconsin.

Embryonic stem cells hold the most promise for treating diseases, but heated debate abounds over the ethics of using them. Human embryonic stem cells are derived from eggs fertilized in vitro ...

Those embryonic stem cells could then be prodded into becoming various cells types -- beta islet cells to treat diabetes, hematopoetic cells to create a new blood supply for a leukemia patient ...

An Indiana woman's brain tumor turned out to contain hair, bone and teeth, and has been dubbed her "embryonic twin" — but experts say that such tumors are not actually twins, nor are they ...
