Dec. 18, 2024 — Scientists have generated human stem cell models which contain notochord -- a tissue in the developing embryo that acts like a navigation system, directing cells where to build ...

Stem cells are cells that have the capacity to self-renew by dividing and to develop into more mature, specialised cells. Stem cells can be unipotent, multipotent, pluripotent or totipotent ...

Building on the work of Dr. Shinya Yamanaka of Japan, who discovered that specialized cells could be reprogrammed back to immature stem cells, Watt and his collaborators have taken this work ...

cell lines and embryonic stem (ES) cells, which provides high-quality cells in large numbers. The demand for mammalian cells in pharmaceutical screening and cell biology research is constantly ...

Travel to the Bahamas and—for the meager sum of $16,500—you could have stem cells injected into your joints. The in-vogue-but-uproven treatments are popular with celebrities and wealthy ...

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 Oregon Stem Cell Center conducts basic and applied research in the field of Stem Cell Biology with the long term goal to harness the properties of stem cells for regenerative medicine and cell ...

Over the last few decades, one such experimental treatment known as hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) has been at the forefront of progressive MS research. HSCT attempts to reset the ...

In conclusion, social isolation is a significant challenge for individuals living with Sickle Cell Disease, impacting their emotional well-being and quality of life. By understanding the causes ...

Background—The pathogenesis of pancreatic fibrosis is unknown. In the liver, stellate cells (vitamin A storing cells) play a significant role in the development of fibrosis. Aims—To determine whether ...
