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 ...

The induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) technology has transformed in vitro research and holds great promise to advance regenerative medicine. iPSCs have the capacity for an almost unlimited ...

Scientists have taken a small but significant step toward testing the idea of reverse aging in humans. Researchers have ...

In a recent study published in Nature, Guan et al. 1 showed an exciting strategy to reprogram human somatic cells into human chemically induced pluripotent stem cells (hCiPSCs). Thereby, they ...

In a groundbreaking study published in Nature, Australian scientists have resolved a long-standing problem in regenerative medicine. Led by Professor Ryan Lister from the Harry Perkins Institute of ...

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 ...
