Biologists have developed an efficient way to genetically modify human embryonic stem cells. Their approach, which uses bacterial artificial chromosomes to swap in defective copies of genes, will make ...

AHA: Stem Cell Therapy May Aid Ischemic Stroke Recovery Modification of aged human cardiac progenitor cells (hCPCs) from elderly patients with Pim-1, a protein that promotes cell survival and growth, ...

Scientists at the University of Illinois at Chicago have identified a molecular mechanism that directs embryonic stem cells to mature into endothelial cells that form blood vessels. Understanding the ...

A discovery, several years in the making, by a University at Buffalo research team has proven that adult skin cells can be converted into neural crest cells (a type of stem cell) without any genetic ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. — A discovery, several years in the making, by a University at Buffalo research team has proven that adult skin cells can be converted into neural crest cells (a type of stem cell) ...

It is widely accepted that the development of appropriate gene transfer vehicles will determine the speed at which the clinical application of genetically modified HSCs will proceed. 9, 10 Gene ...

A discovery, several years in the making, demonstrates that adult skin cells can be converted into neural crest cells (a type of stem cell) without any genetic modification, and that these stem cells ...
