They called these somatic cell-derived cell lines induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells. These iPS cell lines exhibit similar morphology and growth properties as ES cells and express ES cell ...

Somatic stem cells obtained from skin cells; pluripotency 'detour' skipped Date: March 22, 2012 Source: Max-Planck-Gesellschaft Summary: Breaking new ground, scientists have succeeded in obtaining ...

Breaking new ground, scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Molecular Biomedicine in Muenster, Germany, have succeeded in obtaining somatic stem cells from fully differentiated somatic cells.

Somatic stem cells are responsible for tissue maintenance and repair throughout life. Studies on blood, skin and intestinal epithelium have revealed that multiple types of stem cells with distinct ...

Adult stem cells are undifferentiated cells found throughout the body that divide to replenish dying cells and regenerate damaged tissues. Also known as somatic stem cells, they can be found in ...

A Boston University Medical School research team has found a more efficient way to create induced pluripotent stem cells using a single virus vector instead of multiple viruses in the ...

Specifically, the ISS team looked at how adult stem cells — another name for somatic stem cells — behave. Compared to embryonic stem cells (and the advantages associated with their research ...

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), which can be harvested from fat and bone marrow, have immune-modulating and anti-inflammatory ...

Also known as somatic stem cells, they can be found in children and adults. Cord blood stem cells are found in the umbilical cord at birth and can produce all of the blood cells in the body.

Evidence of such an adult somatic stem cell has been provided recently by Jiang et al., 73 who isolated multipotent adult progenitor cells from bone marrow–derived cultured cells; ...

Recently, a new category of stem cells has emerged that originate from somatic cells and can be reprogrammed by scientists back to their pluripotent stage. This was done by manipulating the ...

For decades, scientists have been able to create stems cells—known as induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells—from somatic cells, such as those found in our skin.
