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 also capable of self-renewal and, with appropriate signals, differentiate into various cell types from the organ from which they are derived.

NIH’s SMaHT Network will chart trillions of somatic mutations to reveal how our DNA changes over a lifetime. In a nutshell Scientists are creating the most comprehensive map ever of genetic changes ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Stem cells are basic cells that can become almost any type of cell in the body. Human stem cells can come from an embryo or an adult human. They have many possible uses in science and medicine ...
