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)
Rice University's Baker Institute experts available to discuss stem cell research, recommendations
Rice University's Baker Institute has experts available to discuss the current debate on United States' embryonic stem cell policy. view more (2009-02-18)
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 avoid giving birth to a male child. view more (2006-12-19)
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 embryonic and non-embryonic stem cell research is... view more... (2007-12-19)
Scientists identify gene vital to early embryonic cells forming a normal heart and skull
New research from Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center highlights the critical role a certain gene and its protein play during early embryonic development on formation of a normal heart and skull. view more (2009-06-16)
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)
Bone marrow stem cell co-transplantation prevents embryonic stem cell transplant-associated tumors
Transplanted embryonic stem cells are recognized as a potential treatment for patients suffering from the effects of spinal cord injury (SCI). view more (2009-05-12)
ESC Congress 2003: Stem cell therapy for myocardial repair & regeneration
IMPORTANT: This press release accompanies both a presentation and an ESC press conference given at the ESC Congress 2003. Written by the investigator himself/herself, this press release does not necessarily reflect the opinion of the European Society of Cardiology Heart attack and the resulting heart failure is still one of the leading causes of... view more...

Forsyth scientists trigger cancer-like response from embryonic stem cells
Scientists from The Forsyth Institute, working with collaborators at Tufts and Tuebingen Universities, have discovered a new control over embryonic stem cells' behavior. view more (2008-10-14)
Is hepatic differentiation of embryonic stem cells induced by valproic acid and cytokines?
Embryonic stem (ES) cells, known for their capacity to proliferate indefinitely and differentiate into almost all types of cells including hepatocytes, have raised the hope of cellular replacement therapy for liver failure. view more (2009-11-18)
Minimal cocktail for growing human embryonic stem cells established
Researchers at Yale have established the minimal nutritional requirements for growing and maintaining human embryonic stem cells, a recipe that is critical for clinical application and for developmental studies. view more (2006-03-28)
Mapping the foundation of human development
Embryonic stem cells may one day provide a means to treat disease, but according to two new reports, they are already revealing remarkable insights into the mysteries of human biology. view more (2006-04-21)
Human embryonic stem cells display a unique pattern of chemical modification to DNA
Scientists from the Burnham Institute for Medical Research (BIMR) and Illumina Inc., in collaboration with stem cell researchers around the world, have found that the DNA of human embryonic stem cells is chemically modified in a characteristic, predictable pattern. view more (2006-08-07)
How embryonic stem cells maintain their identity
Two studies in the April 21, 2006 Cell report new details of the "genetic program" that affords embryonic stem cells the flexibility to give rise to any cell type in the body. view more (2006-04-21)
Embryonic Stem Cells Thrive When Shaken
Embryos spend much of their time in the womb bobbing along with a mother's movement, and, surprisingly enough, new research from the Georgia Institute of Technology and Emory University suggests that embryonic stem cells may develop much better under similarly shaky conditions. view more (2007-09-11)
Hopes for new cell therapies 'stem' from Sheffield
The Centre for Stem Cell Biology (CSCB) at the University of Sheffield is welcoming some of the world's leading experts to its International Human Embryonic Stem Cell Symposium on Friday 9 July 2004. The CSCB is a world-leading centre for stem cell research, and has produced two of the UK's six embryonic stem cell lines. The symposium will allow... view more... (2004-07-06)
Small mechanical forces have big impact on embryonic stem cells
Applying a small mechanical force to embryonic stem cells could be a new way of coaxing them into a specific direction of differentiation, researchers at the University of Illinois report. Applications for force-directed cell differentiation include therapeutic cloning and regenerative medicine. view more (2009-10-19)
Researchers examine developing hearts in chickens to find solutions for human heart abnormalities
When it is head versus heart, the heart comes first. The heart is the first organ to develop and is critical in supplying blood to the rest of the body. view more (2009-01-22)
Reversing cancer cells to normal cells
In earlier work, Northwestern University scientist Mary J.C. Hendrix and colleagues discovered that aggressive melanoma cells (but not normal skin cells nor less aggressive melanoma cells) contain specific proteins similar to those found in embryonic stem cells. view more (2007-04-30)
The difference between fish and humans: scientists answer century-old developmental question
Embryologists at UCL (University College London) have helped solve an evolutionary riddle that has been puzzling scientists for over a century. view more (2007-10-11)
