A discovery, several years in the making, by a UB research team has proven that adult skin cells can be converted into neural crest cells (a type of stem cell) without any genetic modification, and ...
A newly discovered pair of stem cell lineages drives the formation of both tooth roots and the bone that anchors them. Understanding how these cells switch roles could pave the way for regenerating ...
Cells contain a blueprint in the form of DNA that dictates what they can make. This blueprint is converted into a message, or mRNA, which is then converted into protein. Although DNA remains the same ...
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, ...
Previous studies have found similarities in gene expression between resting brain stem cells and normal astrocytes even though they have very different functions. New research into epigenetic changes ...
Researchers at UCLA’s Jonsson Cancer Center have discovered a unique gene modification in adult human cancer cells that could provide insight into the cause of certain types of lymphoma and possibly ...
A stem cell, by definition, must be able to self-replicate to make more stem cells and to differentiate into a mature cell type. They can be unipotent as in muscle cells and only differentiate into ...
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 ...
The 25-year-old woman is still making her own insulin a year after having gotten a transplant of her modified stem cells, scientists say. Reading time 2 minutes We might someday be able to have ...
