A paralysed man can stand on his own after receiving an injection of neural stem cells to treat his spinal cord injury. The ...

Our blood consists of many cell types that develop through different stages from a precursor type—the blood stem cell. An ...

Embryonic stem cells (ESCs or ES cells) are cells from the early embryonic development, from which all cells and organs of an individual descend. Embryonic stem cells are pluripotent, meaning that ...

Activating stem cells via molecular programming, rather than relying on random cell transplants, significantly enhances the success of regenerative treatments.

In mammalian embryonic cells and early development ... This is crucial because maladapted stem cells carrying undesired retrotransposon activities may serve as a cell of origin for cancer ...

UCSC scientists have used CRISPR to develop programmable embryoids that can be used to study early embryo development and ...

To counter this, host cells have developed sophisticated defense mechanisms to prevent transposons from mobilizing. For the first time, researchers have captured a retrotransposon in action within ...

These are found in an early embryo. These cells are able to divide continuously. Embryonic stem cells are pluripotent. This means that all of the genes in an embryonic stem cell can be expressed ...

Our blood consists of many cell types that develop through different stages from a precursor type -- the blood stem cell. An international research team has now investigated the developmental pathways ...
