A growing body of work suggests that cell metabolism — the chemical reactions that provide energy and building materials — ...

Scientists have found a way to study early embryonic development without real embryos. Using CRISPR, they programmed stem cells to self-organize into structures mimicking early embryos. The cells show ...

First Mouse With Two Male Parents to Reach Adulthood Jan. 28, 2025 — A team of stem cell scientists have successfully used embryonic stem cell engineering to create a bi-paternal mouse -- a ...

UCSC scientists have used CRISPR to develop programmable embryoids that can be used to study early embryo development and ...

Using CRISPR-based engineering methods to prompt stem cells to organize into embryo-like structures, scientists at UC Santa Cruz were able to create “programmable” cellular models of embryos without ...

Our blood consists of many cell types that develop through different stages from a precursor type -- the blood stem cell. An international research team has now investigated the developmental pathways ...

“We were able to get to yields where we could ask questions about whether these cells can be viable candidates for the cell ...

In May 2024, the CDC reported that three Americans who received embryonic stem cell injections in Mexico were infected with a serious, highly drug-resistant form of bacteria related to those that ...

Scientists at the Wisconsin National Primate Research Center (WNPRC) and the Morgridge Institute for Research at the University of Wisconsin–Madison have been at the forefront of stem cell research ...

“There is also induced pluripotent stem cells, which are derived from adult cells that have been reprogrammed to a state similar to embryonic stem cells, allowing them to differentiate into any ...

Cooking up a batch of stem cells to treat illness or injury used to involve the ethically hairy practice of harvesting them from embryonic tissue. But in 2006, Japanese scientists identified a way ...
