Paper in Cloning and Stem Cells shows that animal eggs do not support specific reprogramming toward the normal human embryonic state. Investigators at Advanced Cell Technology (ACTC) have found that ...

The induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) technology has transformed in vitro research and holds great promise to advance regenerative medicine. iPSCs have the capacity for an almost unlimited ...

Human-induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) can differentiate into various tissues, an invaluable characteristic for personalized regenerative medicine, basic and translational research, and drug ...

In a recent study published in Nature, Guan et al. 1 showed an exciting strategy to reprogram human somatic cells into human chemically induced pluripotent stem cells (hCiPSCs). Thereby, they ...

A study published in the journal Stem Cells Reports reveals that a cellular reprogramming methodology allows the creation of neural networks that reproduce unique characteristics of human ...

In a groundbreaking study published in Nature, Australian scientists have resolved a long-standing problem in regenerative medicine. Led by Professor Ryan Lister from the Harry Perkins Institute of ...

Studies on diseases that affect the human brain are usually based on animal models which cannot reproduce the complexity of human neuropathies. Therefore, these methodologies often fail when applied ...

Scientists from Kyoto University’s Institute for Integrated Cell-Material Sciences (iCeMS) and Wildlife Research Centre have produced stem cells from the endangered Grévy’s zebra using human ...

Scientists have produced stem cells from the endangered Grévy's zebra using human reprogramming factors. Further comprehensive gene analyses identified key genes that are also found in human and mouse ...
