Senescence. It’s a beautiful-sounding word whose tones suggest it should be a perfume or an essential oil. But that’s not even close. Senescence is the loss of a cell’s power to divide and grow, thus ...

Very small embryonic-like stem cells (VSELs) are a rare and intriguing subpopulation of adult stem cells that exhibit molecular signatures reminiscent of embryonic stem cells. Identified in various ...

The human genome has to be carefully organized so it will fit inside of the nuclei of cells, while also remaining accessible ...

The study used large-scale CRISPR gene-editing technology to systematically determine which genes are required as embryonic ...

A large genetic screen has revealed how stem cells transform into brain cells, exposing hundreds of genes that make this ...

Haploid embryonic stem cell research explores the utilisation of cells that contain a single set of chromosomes to probe gene function with unprecedented clarity. This unique genomic configuration ...

January 27, 2009 — Geron Corp announced it has received US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for a phase 1 trial of GRNOPC1, a cell therapy derived from human embryonic stem cells (hESC), in ...

Researchers have succeeded in generating high-quality feline embryonic stem cells using sperm and eggs from testes and ovaries discarded during sterilization surgery. As different as they may seem, ...

When you were first conceived, you were a single cell. From this basic fact, we can extrapolate a few things, most especially that all the cells that make up your body today came (indirectly) from ...
