We're all very complex organisms, made up of lots of different types of cells carrying out different jobs in our bodies; such as nerve cells, blood cells, fat cells and muscle cells. So, where do ...
In 2006, researchers introduced a method to reprogram adult cells into a pluripotent state. These induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) could then be coaxed to differentiate into different cell ...
Yet she fails to note that the vast majority of this progress relies not on fetal tissue but on the use of stem cells that are isolated from birth-related material and/or adult tissue. A search of ...
In a large-animal model study, researchers have found that heart attack recovery is aided by injection of heart muscle cell spheroids derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells, or hiPSCs, that ...
skeletal muscle stem cells and gene therapy; growth factors and signal transduction; mouse molecular genetics; muscular dystrophies and neuromuscular diseases. Skeletal muscle maintenance and ...
Techniques that cause multipotent adult mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) to differentiate into cells of the chondrogenic lineage have led to a variety of experimental strategies to investigate ...
