How are induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells different from embryonic stem (ES) cells? What can we use iPS cells for? ES cells were originally derived from the inner cell mass (ICM) or epiblast of ...

Somatic stem cells are present in many fetal and post-natal tissues. Somatic stem cells are also capable of self-renewal and, with appropriate signals, differentiate into various cell types from ...

In this slide show showing somatic cell nuclear transfer, as it's also known, we explain how we clone egg cells to create embryonic stem cells in our lab at Children's Hospital Boston. Unless ...

Instead of sending tourists to space, scientists have found a more practical use for the final frontier: growing better ...

Stem-cell research has enormous potential value ... the first mammal cloned from the cell of an adult animal.) A somatic cell could be taken from the recipient individual, its nucleus inserted ...

Human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) have a great potential for scientific and medical applications. They are used in ...

Specifically, they’ve been able to make induced pluripotent stem cells, or iPSCs. This is a type of cell that starts off as ...

A research team reported recently that heart muscle cells grown from induced pluripotent stem cells can integrate into the hearts of monkeys with a state of pressure overload.

Research from the Wellcome Sanger Institute reveals that younger stem cell donors lead to better transplant outcomes.

RCCS San Raffaele Scientific Institute in Milan researchers have discovered that hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) adapt their lineage commitment during gene therapy based on the underlying genetic ...

is a marker used for hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPC) in somatic stem cell isolation. It can play a role in cell differentiation, proliferation, and apoptosis. Prominin-1 binds ...
