Liver cells are indispensable for research—for drug testing, to better understand diseases such as hepatitis, fatty liver, ...

Cells contain a blueprint in the form of DNA that dictates what they can make. This blueprint is converted into a message ...

Scientists have found that the DNA of human embryonic stem cells is chemically modified in a characteristic, predictable pattern. This pattern distinguishes human embryonic stem cells from normal ...

Biologists have developed an efficient way to genetically modify human embryonic stem cells. Their approach, which uses bacterial artificial chromosomes to swap in defective copies of genes, will make ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. — A discovery, several years in the making, by a University at Buffalo research team has proven that adult skin cells can be converted into neural crest cells (a type of stem cell) ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract A unique property of the mammalian embryo is that stem cells can be derived from its early tissue lineages. These lineages will give rise to ...

A joint research team from the LKS Faculty of Medicine, the University of Hong Kong (HKUMed), and The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) has used stem cells to generate human ...

Scientists from the Burnham Institute for Medical Research (BIMR) and Illumina Inc., in collaboration with stem cell researchers around the world, have found that the DNA of human embryonic stem cells ...
