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 ...

Liver cells are indispensable for research—for drug testing, to better understand diseases such as hepatitis, fatty liver, cirrhosis, or liver cancer and for development of future cell therapies.

A discovery, several years in the making, demonstrates that adult skin cells can be converted into neural crest cells (a type of stem cell) without any genetic modification, and that these stem cells ...

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 ...

The current method to create a chimeric murine embryo involves engrafting cells from a separate donor embryo. But, in December 10 online Nature Genetics, Pentao Liu and colleagues at The National ...

Sangamo may have a “functional cure” for HIV. It is currently in two Phase 2 studies designed to maximize the engraftment of CCR5-disrupted T-cells. The two studies, which will focus on reduction or ...

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) ...
