Paper in Cloning and Stem Cells shows that animal eggs do not support specific reprogramming toward the normal human embryonic state. Investigators at Advanced Cell Technology (ACTC) have found that ...

In part, this is due to the difficulty in recreating adequate animal or cellular models. By reprogramming skin cells into neurons, Johan Jakobsson and his research group have been able to study ...

Human-induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) can differentiate into various tissues, an invaluable characteristic for personalized regenerative medicine, basic and translational research, and drug ...

A study published in the journal Stem Cells Reports reveals that a cellular reprogramming methodology allows the creation of neural networks that reproduce unique characteristics of human ...

Human skin cells have been reprogrammed into heart valve cells and then used to successfully transplant a pig heart valve into a rodent, led by the research of a Northeastern University professor. The ...

Researchers from Harvard Medical School, the University of Maine, and MIT have developed a method for reversing cellular aging. The groundbreaking research could be an alternative to gene therapy for ...

Specialized cells in the human body make biological trade-offs to perform certain jobs. To support the large, hardworking hearts that power other organs, heart cells have evolved to be extremely ...

Scientists have produced stem cells from the endangered Grévy's zebra using human reprogramming factors. Further comprehensive gene analyses identified key genes that are also found in human and mouse ...
