Researchers discover important tool in understanding differentiation in human embryonic stem cells
Researchers at the University of Minnesota's Stem Cell Institute have described how an existing genetic tool can be used to study how human embryonic stem cells differentiate. The research appears in the November 2007 issue of Experimental Biology and Medicine.   view more (2007-10-25)

The University of Sheffield has received a £2.6m grant to create some of the world's first embryonic stem cell lines that can be used for medicinal purposes.   view more (2005-03-16)

U of MN researchers use human embryonic stem cells to kill cancer cells
For the first time, stem cell researchers at the University of Minnesota have coaxed human embryonic stem cells to create cancer-killing cells in the laboratory, paving the way for future treatments for various types of cancers (or tumors).   view more (2005-10-12)

Statement from the European Life Sciences Group
The promises and concerns engendered by stem cell research triggered debate world-wide. European citizens realise the significance of these issues and expect guidance to deal with them.

Scientists make first step towards growing human lungs for transplant
Scientists have successfully converted human embryonic stem cells into lung cells, taking a first step towards building human lungs for transplantation.   view more (2005-08-23)

Cold Spring Harbor Protocols highlights reliable methods for gene and protein analyses
In their native form, the thousands of assorted proteins in our body are virtually indistinguishable. Scientists who want to examine the properties and functions of specific proteins, as well as the activities of individual genes, must rely on chemical tags to manipulate and visualize them.   view more (2007-04-05)

Understanding Infertility - The Role of Genes in the Control of Reproduction
The problem of infertility is not confined to humans alone. There has been a noticeable decline in the reproductive ability of cattle that have been bred specifically for their high milk yields. Two scientists at Department of Animal Science and the Conway Institute of Biomolecular and Biomedical... view more (2003-01-21)

Embryonic heart exhibits impressive regenerative capacity
A new study demonstrates that the embryonic mouse heart has an astounding capacity to regenerate, a phenomenon previously observed only in non-mammalian species.   view more (2008-10-14)

Scientists discover stage at which an embryonic cell is fated to become a stem cell
Cambridge scientists have discovered the stage at which some of the cells of a fertilised mammalian egg are fated to develop into stem cells and why this occurs.   view more (2007-01-11)

USC stem cell study sheds new light on cell mechanism
Research from the University of Southern California (USC) has discovered a new mechanism to allow embryonic stem cells to divide indefinitely and remain undifferentiated.   view more (2008-05-22)

UCLA researchers develop T-cells from human embryonic stem cells
Researchers from the UCLA AIDS Institute and the Institute for Stem Cell Biology and Medicine have demonstrated for the first time that human embryonic stem cells can be genetically manipulated and coaxed to develop into mature T-cells, raising hopes for a gene therapy to combat AIDS.   view more (2006-07-05)

Controlling embryonic fate by association
Association determines fate in embryonic stem cells, said Baylor College of Medicine researchers in a report that appears in the current issue of the journal Nature Cell Biology.   view more (2008-05-05)

Isolation of a new gene family essential for early development
Researchers at BRIC, University of Copenhagen, have identified a new gene family (UTX-JMJD3) essential for embryonic development. The family controls the expression of genes crucial for stem cell maintenance and differentiation, and the results may contribute sig-nificantly to the understanding of... view more (2007-08-23)

Another boost for stem cell research
In the wake of the Senate's decision to pass the human embryo cloning legislation, another Australian research breakthrough is likely to strengthen the case for embryonic stem cell research.   view more (2006-11-16)

Teamwork between 2 key proteins necessary for normal development and regulation of red blood cells
Virginia Commonwealth University researchers studying hemoglobin genes, mutations of which play a role in genetic blood disorders like sickle cell anemia and beta-thalassemia, have identified two proteins that are responsible for regulating overlapping groups of genes during the development of red... view more (2007-08-07)

With few factors, adult cells take on character of embryonic stem cells
With the introduction of just four factors, researchers have successfully induced differentiated cells taken from mouse embryos or adult mice to behave like embryonic stem cells. The researchers reported their findings in an immediate early publication of the journal Cell.   view more (2006-08-11)

Embryonic selection of sex avoids conceiving blind children
The Assisted Reproduction Unit at the Quirón Hospital in Donostia-San Sebastián has managed, for the first time in the Basque Country, to successfully carry out an embryonic sex selection in a woman who is a carrier of the disease Retinosis Pigmentaria, linked with the X chromosome - in order to... view more (2006-12-19)

USC study in Nature Genetics supports a stem cell origin of cancer
Researchers at the University of Southern California (USC) recently made significant strides toward settling a decades-old debate centering on the role played by stem cells in cancer development.   view more (2007-01-10)

Widespread support for nonembryonic stem cell research, VCU Life Sciences Survey shows
The VCU Life Sciences Survey is the first poll to reflect the discovery reported internationally in November that human skin cells can be used to create stem cells or their near equivalents. When asked about the implications of this development, more than six in 10, or 63 percent, say that both... view more (2007-12-19)

Study shows frogs can play key role in stem cell research
It sounds like one of those curiosities which pops up in wildlife documentaries, but the African clawed frog could prove a powerful ally for scientists working in the key area of stem cell research.   view more (2006-05-15)
