Several years ago, biologists discovered that regular body cells can be reprogrammed into pluripotent stem cells — cells with the ability to become any other type of cell. Such cells hold great ...

Embryonic stem cells have the enormous potential to treat and cure many medical problems. That is why the discovery that induced embryonic-like stem cells can be created from skin cells was rewarded ...

A team led by researchers at the University of Toronto has discovered that a group of cells located in the skin and other areas of the body, called neural crest stem cells, are the source of ...

A mature cell of one type can be turned into a mature cell of another type without the cell having to pass through an earlier stage of development. This is called direct reprogramming, a reliable but ...

Douglas Melton, codirector of the Harvard Stem Cell Institute in Cambridge, Massa­chusetts, and his colleagues study both the stem cells that develop into the pancreas and its insulin-producing cells ...

This event will highlight and discuss recent advances in strategies for controlling stem cell fate and reprogramming. Progress towards therapeutic applications, and new insights into the molecular ...

Dublin, April 25, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Cell Reprogramming Market - Global Industry Size, Share, Trends, Opportunity, and Forecast, 2020-2030F" report has been added to ...

Pair showed that adult cells can be reprogrammed to an embryonic state. I think that all Nobel prize winners should sport badass hair like this Gurdon guy. On a more serious note, this is an awesome ...
