Researchers in the College of Agriculture, Health and Natural Resources have developed a novel line of bovine embryonic stem ...

Understanding how cells differentiate during early embryonic development is crucial for advancing regenerative medicine and developmental biology. Pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) have been invaluable ...

For several years, researchers studied human embryonic stem cells (ESCs) to understand the unique features of these pluripotent cells, but on their own, they poorly resembled the complex structures ...

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 ...

One of the most enduring goals in regenerative medicine is deceptively simple: replace a person's damaged or dying cells with ...

Researchers have developed a new stem cell model of the mature human amniotic sac, which replicates development of the tissues supporting the embryo from two to four weeks after fertilization. This is ...

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, ...

Welcome to Lab Dish, a First Opinion column on regenerative medicine from Paul Knoepfler. Twenty years ago, the use of human embryonic stem cells in research was among the most fiercely debated topics ...

Descriptions of the embryo go back at least to the time of Aristotle, but it has only been since the late 19 th century and early 20 th century that advances in experimental approaches allowed ...

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.
