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 ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...

In the in vitro differentiation of ovarian somatic cells and PGCs from embryonic stem cells (Panel B), the aggregation of embryonic stem-cell–derived fetal ovarian somatic–like cells with PGC ...

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.

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

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 ...

Sea anemones regulate stem cells through evolutionarily conserved genes and may ... “Nanos2 marks precursors of somatic lineages and is required for germline formation in the sea anemone ...

The team tested the technique by converting mouse skin cells to motor neurons. And sure enough, this resulted in a yield of over 1,000%. The resulting motor neurons were found to produce ...
