Cell division is an essential process for all life on earth, yet the exact mechanisms by which cells divide during early ...

The mystery of early embryonic communication is starting to be unraveled thanks to a new stem cell-based model.

For several years, researchers studied human embryonic stem cells (ESCs) to understand the unique features of these pluripotent cells, but on their own, they poorly resembled the complex structures ...

Egg whites may be perfect for a health-conscious breakfast, but egg yolks turned out to be the key ingredient for cultivating bird embryonic stem cells (ESCs) in the lab. Using a growing medium of egg ...

Jennifer Zenker receives funding from NHMRC and Viertel Foundation. Most people have heard of stem cells. They are often described as “miracle” cells –ones that can grow into any other type of cell in ...

Welcome to Lab Dish, a First Opinion column on regenerative medicine from Paul Knoepfler. Twenty years ago, the use of human embryonic stem cells in research was among the most fiercely debated topics ...

MSK physician-scientists Dr. Viviane Tabar and Dr. Lorenz Studer have developed a treatment for Parkinson’s disease that involves creating nerve cells from embryonic stem cells and transplanting them ...

Chimpanzee naive pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) can now be grown in cellular cultures, reveals a recent study. They successfully created chimpanzee early embryo models, called 'blastoids,' and found ...
