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 ...

HexemBio has launched with a seed round led by Draper Associates to advance a blood stem cell rejuvenation therapy backed by Robert Langer.

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 ...

Gemmotherapy is a form of botanical medicine that uses the embryonic stem cells of plants. These cells are harvested from the ...

A team of stem cell scientists have successfully used embryonic stem cell engineering to create a bi-paternal mouse—a mouse with two male parents—that lived until adulthood. Their results, published ...

Between 1998 and 2009, research being conducted using human embryonic stem (hES) cells expanded primarily using private funds because of restrictions on the use of federal funds for such research.

They did this by culturing human embryonic stem cells in a series of steps with just two chemical signals over 48 hours, after which the cells organised themselves into the inner and outer layers of ...

Embryonic stem cells (ESCs) are found in the inner cell mass of the human blastocyst, an early stage of the developing embryo lasting from the 4 th to 7 th day after fertilization. In normal embryonic ...

Researchers have uncovered how proteins normally active only before birth can drive aggressive lung cancer, opening new avenues for future treatments. The study found that more aggressive lung cancers ...

Most people have heard of stem cells. They are often described as "miracle" cells –ones that can grow into any other type of cell in our bodies, promising revolutionary medical treatments. However, ...
