but not extra-embryonic tissues such as the placenta. Embryonic stem cells and induced pluripotent stem cells are pluripotent stem cells. Pluripotent stem cells can integrate into embryos and ...

Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) are pluripotent stem cells generated from adult cells by reprogramming. iPSCs have the same properties as embryonic stem cells, and therefore self-renew and ...

Scientists have raised the first viable mouse with two male parents into adulthood after editing imprinting genes.

Vascularized stem cell islet organoids are more mature When the researchers compared vascularized organoids to non-vascularized organoids, they found the former secreted more insulin when exposed ...

The medical practice of cord blood banking involves collecting newborn umbilical cord blood after birth to create a valuable ...

An international team of researchers led by Max Delbrück Center Scientific Director Professor Maike Sander, MD, has for the first time developed an organoid model of human pluripotent stem cell ...

Last Thursday during a roundtable on stem cell therapies, new FDA Commissioner Marty Makary referred to EBM levels of evidence as an artificial and dogmatic construct. Apparently Dr. David Katz's "mor ...

After decades of hype and setbacks, scientists have made impressive progress into tricking stem cells into repairing organs. Stem cells (like the ones above, growing in petri dishes) are able to ...

I first heard the phrase "cord blood banking" from season 17 winner Catherine Giudici Lowe, who chose to privately bank her babies' cord blood. Her social media post about the process piqued my ...

Shiyun Lang explains why new 'cloaked cells' have such wide-ranging therapeutic potential in transplantation and ...
