I am proud to still be at the forefront of this issue as we continue to push the crucial issue of embryonic stem cell research. This effort has never been solely about my bill; it has been on behalf ...

The stem cell-based embryo model and actual human embryos share many characteristics but are distinctly different. However, internationally, not everyone agrees on the definitions and what we should ...

While some studies using stem cells culled from embryos to treat Parkinson’s type symptoms in mice have been encouraging, grafts of fetal and embryonic tissue may provoke the body’s immune response, ...

Very small embryonic-like stem cells (VSELs) are a rare and intriguing subpopulation of adult stem cells that exhibit molecular signatures reminiscent of embryonic stem cells. Identified in various ...

Knoepfler is STAT’s Lab Dish columnist and professor of cell biology and human anatomy at UC Davis School of Medicine. Japanese regulators just quietly gave researchers there a historic OK to generate ...

Congressional supporters of human embryonic stem cell research launched their most intensive effort to expand federal funding for the controversial field, introducing identical bills yesterday in the ...

I can't blame Larry Luttrell ("'Culture of life' leaders value cells, but not people." June 10) for being confused about the president's opposition to embryonic stem cell research because the media ...

Using embryonic stem cells for medical research should not be controversial. Thousands of such cells are routinely discarded and destroyed by fertility labs. They might as well be used in research to ...

Senescence. It’s a beautiful-sounding word whose tones suggest it should be a perfume or an essential oil. But that’s not even close. Senescence is the loss of a cell’s power to divide and grow, thus ...

Mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs) have emerged as ideal tools for developmental biology research due to their characteristics such as unlimited proliferation and pluripotent differentiation potential.

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 ...
