Scientists shed light on inner workings of human embryonic stem cells
Scientists at UC Santa Barbara have made a significant discovery in understanding the way human embryonic stem cells function. view more (2009-05-01)
World-first stem cell research could aid male infertility
Scientists have shown for the first time that sperm grown from embryonic stem cells can be used to produce offspring. view more (2006-07-11)
Researchers offer proof-of-concept for Altered Nuclear Transfer
The theory, called altered nuclear transfer (ANT), proposes that researchers first create genetically altered embryos that are unable to implant in a uterus, and then extract stem cells from these embryos. view more (2005-10-17)
Stem cell ethical guidelines must be strengthened, UCSF team says
The possibility of using embryonic stem cells to treat disease, a strategy known as regenerative medicine, is not yet being explored in clinical trials, and may not be for many years. view more (2005-09-22)
Vaccination with embryonic stem cells prevents lung cancer in mice
Researchers in America have discovered that vaccinating mice with embryonic stem cells prevented lung cancer in those animals that had had cancer cells transplanted into them after the vaccination or that had been exposed to cancer-causing chemicals. view more (2006-11-08)
Embryo's heartbeat drives blood stem cell formation
Biologists have long wondered why the embryonic heart begins beating so early, before the tissues actually need to be infused with blood. view more (2009-05-14)
UCLA researchers find blood stem cells originate and are nurtured in the placenta
Solving a long-standing biological mystery, UCLA stem cell researchers have discovered that blood stem cells, the cells that later differentiate into all the cells in the blood supply, originate and are nurtured in the placenta. view more (2008-03-06)
Study hints at role of stem cell genes in testicular, breast cancers
UCSF scientists have discovered that the activity of several embryonic stem cell genes is elevated in testicular and breast cancers, providing some of the first molecular evidence of a link between embryonic stem cells and cancer. view more (2005-11-30)
Egg donation for stem cell research — balancing the risks and benefits
In the wake of the scandal involving fraudulent cloning research, concerns about the welfare of women donating eggs for research purposes have arisen. view more (2006-06-20)
UCI launches effort to develop patient-specific stem cell lines
UC Irvine neurobiologist Hans Keirstead and his research team today launched a project to develop stem cell lines that genetically match human patients. view more (2007-05-15)
'Rhythm method' may kill off more embryos than other methods of contraception
The "rhythm method" may kill off more embryos than other contraceptive methods, such as coils, morning after pills, and oral contraceptives, suggests an article in the Journal of Medical Ethics. view more (2006-05-25)
Novel molecular 'signature' marks DNA of embryonic stem cells
A team of scientists announced today a critical step on the path of realizing the promise of embryonic stem (ES) cells for medicine. view more (2006-04-21)
New stem cell technique improves genetic alteration
UC Irvine researchers have discovered a dramatically improved method for genetically manipulating human embryonic stem cells, making it easier for scientists to study and potentially treat thousands of disorders ranging from Huntington's disease to muscular dystrophy and diabetes. view more (2008-03-10)
Study Finds Blood Cells Can Be Reprogrammed to Act as Embryonic Stem Cells
In a recent study, U.S. researchers have reprogrammed cells found in circulating blood into cells that are molecularly and functionally indistinguishable from embryonic stem cells, a revolutionary achievement that provides a readily accessible source of stem cells and an alternative to harvesting embryonic stem cells. view more (2009-04-21)
Embryonic stem cells used to grow cartilage
Rice University biomedical engineers have developed a new technique for growing cartilage from human embryonic stem cells, a method that could be used to grow replacement cartilage for the surgical repair of knee, jaw, hip, and other joints. view more (2007-09-07)
Updated guidelines for stem cell research released
The National Academies today released amended guidelines for research involving human embryonic stem cells, revising those that were issued in 2005 and updated in 2007. view more (2008-09-08)
Advance helps explain stem cell behavior
Biochemists at Oregon State University have developed a new method to identify the "DNA-binding transcription factors" that help steer stem cells into forming the wide variety of cells that ultimately make up all the organs and parts of a living vertebrate animal. view more (2006-11-21)
Sperm created in the laboratory from embryonic stem cells produce viable progeny
Scientists have demonstrated for the first time that embryonic stem (ES) cells cultured in the laboratory can produce sperm with the capacity to produce viable offspring. view more (2006-07-12)
Liver cells grown from patients' skin cells
Scientists at The Medical College of Wisconsin in Milwaukee have successfully produced liver cells from patients' skin cells opening the possibility of treating a wide range of diseases that affect liver function. view more (2009-10-09)
Cold Spring Harbor Protocols features methods for visualizing protein dynamics
This month's release of Cold Spring Harbor Protocols highlights methods that permit scientists to observe protein dynamics in chromosomes and embryos. view more (2008-01-03)
