Saha, K. & Jaenisch, R. Technical challenges in using human induced pluripotent stem cells to model disease. Cell Stem Cell 5, 584–595 (2009). Takahashi, K. & Yamanaka, S. Induction of ...

embryonic stem cells are pluripotent—they can become virtually every kind of human cell. The cells being nurtured here are direct descendants of the ones James Thomson isolated seven years ago.

Embryonic stem cells can differentiate into a wider range of cell types, but are difficult to obtain and their use raises ethical challenges. The best source is the five-day-old embryo.

Until now, the best human stem cells were made using a different method and have not been truly identical. The new method could prove more valuable for treatment, said Natalie DeWitt, a cell and ...

The plating density of MEFs required will vary from human embryonic stem cell line to cell line. We use between 2 × 10 5 and 4 × 10 5 cells per p60 plate, depending on the cell line under study.

During embryonic stem cell (ESC) development, pluripotent stem cells transition from a naïve state into a ... The team differentiated the human naïve ESC into four subpopulations and cultured them at ...

Wenzhou Medical University and collaborating institutions have identified a population of human neural retinal stem-like cells ... all major retinal cell types. Similar cells appeared in the ...

Two small clinical trials tested the safety of injecting stem cells into the brains of Parkinson's patients and found no ...

A UPV/EHU study published in the prestigious journal Stem Cell Research & Therapy has proven that stem cells extracted from human dental pulp can be transformed into excitable neuronal cells and ...

For decades, scientists assumed that neural stem cells (NSCs) only occur in the brain and spinal cord. A new international ...

Cell therapy development for Parkinson’s disease has been a marathon. Two new papers represent an important step forward.

Stem cells close stem cellA cell found in foetuses, embryos and some adult tissues that can give rise to a wide range of other cells. can divide to produce new cells, which can then divide into ...
