The molecular and genetic characteristics of stem cells and their developmental potential will be explored. Lectures and readings will cover the development of embryonic, fetal and adult stem cells, ...

Dr. Navara’s research focuses on the cellular biology of pluripotent stem cells. The repeated clinical failures of therapies for Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease indicate the need for additional ...

If cells are removed from the embryo they will differentiate into any cell type. These are called embryonic stem cells. Some stem cells remain in the bodies of adults as adult stem cells.

The goal of the Stem Cell program is to conduct rigorous scientific studies to enhance our knowledge of normal and altered stem cell development and to advance treatments and improve outcomes for ...

Stem cell research and regenerative medicine have emerged as pivotal fields in modern biomedical science, offering promising avenues for tissue repair and ...

How are induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells different from embryonic stem (ES) cells? What can we use iPS cells for? ES cells were originally derived from the inner cell mass (ICM) or epiblast of ...

Now, scientists at Gladstone Institutes and the regenerative medicine company SanBio have shown that a cell therapy derived from stem cells can ... the most exciting lesson from the new study ...

“Manipulating gene expression in human embryos is challenging,” explained Marta Shahbazi, a stem cell biologist at the Medical Research Council Laboratory of Molecular Biology who works with both stem ...

“That’s a stem-cell driven process.” Teeth got more complicated with the emergence of mammals, and eventually, humans. “Rather than having all the teeth within a species being the ...

2,3 There is therefore a clear need for new effective non-surgical treatments. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) offer the potential for tendon regeneration and improved functional outcome via either ...

The main focus in the lab is on the biology and application of human embryonic ... de Luzy IR, Lee MK, Mobley WC, Studer L. Lessons from inducible pluripotent stem cell models on neuronal senescence ...
