Describes a cell capable of developing into any type of cell or tissue except those that form a placenta or embryo.
How ageing induces iron insufficiency, reduces stem cell renewal and tumour formation has been discovered...
Functional mouse induced pluripotent stem cells were generated using genes originating in an ancient unicellular organism and injected into a mouse embryo to create chimeric mice...
Stem cell lines from multiple human donors have been combined to create 3D brain organoids for the first time...
Inactivating a gene that codes for a protein involved in early mouse development results in the formation of two extra hindlimbs in the place of external genitalia...
Human pluripotent stem cells have been used to create a complete model of the human central nervous system and mirror its early stages of development in vitro...
Viral genetic material, integrated into our DNA millions of years ago, has an essential role in a key early stage in embryo development...
Identifying the defining characteristics of different states of stem cell pluripotency could hold the key to improving human stem cell-based embryo models...
Brain organoids made from human stem cells can integrate successfully with the visual system in rats, offering hope for repairing brain damage...
Precursors to the stem cells that make blood have been derived in vitro from human pluripotent stem cells for the first time...
Scientists have created a 'blastoid' model of the human embryo at early-stages that can successfully attach to uterine cells in vitro, mimicking the implantation of an embryo in the mother's uterus...
