Adults don't have any embryonic stem cells, but they do still have stem cells - they're essential for replacing or repairing normal cells which become damaged, or worn out. But the adult stem ...

And adult stem cells are starting to be used as vehicles for genetic therapies, such as for epidermolysis bullosa. If this progress had been derived from embryonic stem cells, the headlines would ...

National Academy Press, 112 pp, $19.95, 2002 Also available online: http://www.nap.edu/books/0309076307/html/ Stem cells have emerged as one of the hottest topics of ...

Alden P. Johnson, O.D. A: Dear Alden, As a scientist I have to answer that both adult and embryonic stem cells have to be studied extensively and in parallel, as both have something to teach us ...

Stem Cells and the Future of Regenerative Medicine provides a deeper exploration of the biological, ethical, and funding questions prompted by the therapeutic potential of undifferentiated human cells ...

The tissues are finally made by these kinds of multipotent stem cells. Almost all adult tissues contain multipotent stem cells, which take care of renewing the tissue in different ways depending on ...

Research on stem cells is ongoing, but they're approved to treat a certain group of diseases. Here's what doctors say about ...

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 ...

CRISPR-engineered cell lines expressing live reporter systems, high throughput/high content timelapse microscopy and computational image analysis, to study the growth and behaviour of pluripotent ...

On board the ISS, the team specifically looked at the behavior of adult stem cells, which are more limited in how they divide ...
