If Rip van Winkle had just awoken from a slumber that started five or six years ago, the current political debate over human embryonic stem cell research would seem bewildering. Both sides make ...

Embryonic stem cells (ESCs or ES cells) are cells from the early embryonic development, from which all cells and organs of an individual descend. Embryonic stem cells are pluripotent, meaning that ...

outer cell mass and inner cell mass. Embryonic stem cells are derived from the inner cell mass of the blastocyst. Embryonic stem cells in culture are capable of self-renewal without ...

Scientists have long dreamed of plucking those naive cells from a young human embryo and coaxing them to perform, in sterile isolation ... world's first human embryonic stem cell line, he and ...

For example, red blood cells look very different from nerve cells, but they both start out as embryonic stem cells. Adults don't have any embryonic stem cells, but they do still have stem cells ...

we explain how we clone egg cells to create embryonic stem cells in our lab at Children's Hospital Boston. Unless otherwise noted, images show mouse cells.—Kitai Kim & Willy Lensch Drs.

Nr1h2 activation was sufficient to enhance the functional and genetic fidelity of stem cell-derived embryo models. To test Nr1h2's potential, the team treated embryonic stem cells with the small ...

The Stem Cells and Regenerative Medicine Center (STaR) was founded in 2005 to facilitate stem cell research of all types at Baylor College of Medicine, and the clinical translation of such research ...
