Creating Ideal Neural Cells for Clinical Use
Investigators at the Burnham Institute for Medical Research have developed a protocol to rapidly differentiate human embryonic stem cells into neural progenitor cells that may be ideal for transplantation.
Large Quantity of Stem Cells Produced From Small Number of Blood Stem Cells
A team from the Institute for Research in Immunology and Cancer at the Universite de Montréal has succeeded in producing a large quantity of laboratory stem cells from a small number of blood stem cells obtained from bone marrow.
Smurf Genes Help Cells Find the Path Ahead
Two critical genes that serve as beacons and give cells a much needed sense of direction in the chaotic days of early development have been identified by researchers.
Emory Study Yields Clue to How Stem Cells Form
An Emory University study shows some of the first direct evidence of a process required for epigenetic reprogramming between generations.
Penn Scientists Use RNA to Reprogram One Cell Type into Another
By simply flooding one cell type, a nerve cell, with an abundance of a specific type of messenger RNA from another cell type, the investigators changed a neuron into an astrocyte-like cell.
International Stem Cell Reports Excellent Preliminary Results for Skin Rejuvenation
Scientists and clinicians at ISCO have discovered that a proprietary combination of the special growth media for human skin tissue created by the company, coupled with the by-products of the production of Parthenogenic Stem Cells, appears to have a dramatic impact on the restoration and retention of skin moisture.
